The diminutive Cousin Itt was played by Felix Silla, a small in stature former circus performer from Italy who spoke little or no English when he was hired on the spot to play the part. He had no idea what he was supposed to do or that his character was completely covered with hair, often wearing only sunglasses, gloves, and a derby. His gibberish language was created by the sound people, and Silla's Cousin Itt was one of the most beloved of the entire Addams bunch. Silla has also done stunt work in many films, often doubling for children because of his size. He is 70 years old, having been married to his wife Susan since 1965.

Hey it was the 60's! Everyone was wearing their hair long back then! peacesign:

He also played the robot Twiki, in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century .

I always loved Cousin Itt. I used to try to imitate his "Itt speak" when I was young, and was always drawing his likeness in my grade school notebooks.

Great to see Silla looking spry and healthy, too! :)
