Carolyn Jones and John Astin have such flawless comic timing. The little girl who did Wednesday was amazingly good. And the giant playing Lurch was just amazing with what could have been a simple one faced monster.

Lurch was played by Ted Cassidy. I watched this video bio on him and his career recently that was pretty interesting. He did a lot more than just give life to Lurch, especially with his voice. Here is a link to the video.

Ted Cassidy also played Harvey Logan in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" ("There are no rules in a knife fight!"). The real Harvey Logan, according to his wanted poster, was 5-7 and weighed 140 pounds. Hollywood magic.
