Cousin Itt

The Addams Family | Character

Something Missing?

Cousin Itt is a fictional character in the Addams Family series. A short being whose entire body is shrouded by long hair, the unnamed character was mostly seen in the background of the original work of cartoonist Charles Addams, who debuted The Addams Family in 1938. The Cousin Itt name, along with a more interactive participation, was introduced by producer David Levy in the 1964 television series The Addams Family.

In the 1960s television series, Cousin Itt was played by actor Felix Silla, except for two episodes in which Roger Arroyo played the role. The "voice" was created by sound engineer Marty Magro. The hair used for Cousin Itt's heavy costume was a synthetic fiber, with fire retardant, because it was common to smoke on the set, and the producers didn't want the costume to catch fire.
