Thanks for this ! Ted Cassidy was a multi-talented actor, Disk Jockey & Voice-Over Artist … seemed to do well with whatever gig he took … ! He's up there with Mel Blanc & Daws Butler IMHO.

Hell, he had a great voice! It would have been awesome for him to have been able to replace John Facenda for NFL films. NFL films have never been the same since Facenda's death in '84.

Charles Addams’ original butler character (named Lurch for the TV series by creator David Levy) was originally envisioned as mute. Upon hearing Ted Cassidy’s monumental vocal talents, I’m guessing the character immediately gained his very distinctive growl and ubiquitous “You rang?,’” which Ted undoubtedly got sick of repeating at parties. Oddly, the ABC execs who gave The Addams Family the green light wanted actor John Astin to play the butler character (with lifts in his shoes). Levy took Astin to lunch, and over drinks, explained that he actually wanted the actor to play the role of Gomez, patriarch of the family, which Levy envisioned as a slightly twisted version of TV’s then-popular Father Knows Best series. The latter, of course, turned out to be the correct approach.

@Nicole Kuhn No worries about the response delay, I'm grateful to have gotten one. I hope that wax figure is accurate to the man himself as I think he was 6'7" or something like it. Best of luck to you at college! Study more of what you are already good at! Play to your strengths. The worst advice I ever got was to try to bolster my weaknesses. Huge waste of time. Get better at what you are already good at. Remember to have fun too! Good luck!

@InformationIsTheEdgeSorry it took a long time to reply. I just started college this year and I'm probably the only one who knows who Ted Cassidy is. Just went today to his hometown. The museum in Philippi is awesome. They said in about 6 months, I think the man said it will be a wax figure of him!! Can't wait to go back!!!

@Nicole Kuhn Chuck Connors! The Rifleman himself! I also liked him in the Airplane movie. How about Denny Miller? He kind of reminds me of Chuck Connors a bit. He also played Tarzan which is gets a gold star in my book. Thanks for the reply!

@InformationIsTheEdge Well Ted Cassidy will always be favorite, but I also love Chuck Connors. They are both are my favorites, but I rank Chuck first because both of my grandpa.

ABC billed Ted Cassidy's height at 6'10" which wasn't true. We were both at one time disc jockeys in Dallas (not at the same station). Since I am also tall, one time we were at a gathering together and fans asked us to stand together to see who was the tallest. We were the same height. I am (and obvious Ted was) 6'7". In no way was Ted 6'10" tall.

@Tracy Paxton We were both wearing sneakers which we both removed for the comparison. However Ted was known to wear elevated shoes/boots to personal appearances after he landed the "Lurch" role.

Dave Mitchell, did you remember to take into consideration how thick the soles of the shoes you two were wearing were? They can vary somewhat.

Greg Donato

he was 6 foot nine

When was this? Because people with gigantism continue to grow into adulthood.

@Dave Mitchell With Genna Davis they had said she was shorter than her 6 feet tall. Then they changed it. that's Hollywood for ya.

The world is truly full of talented people. While it amazes me how people are physically talented, I am equally amazed by those that are vocally talented. The range of artistic ability is vast ,and not simply limited to what can be put on a canvas. Sadly, some talent is never discovered. In Ted's case, he was a gem that left the world much too early.
