Felix Silla, who played Cousin Itt on the original 1960s TV version of The Addams Family, died this Friday in Las Vegas. The 3'11" actor and stuntman was 84 years old and had been suffering from pancreatic cancer, according to TMZ. His old pal Gil Gerard, who co-starred with him on the TV show Buck Rogers In The 25th Century, confirmed the news of Felix' death. His interview process for Cousin Itt back in the mid-1960s did not even involve any acting, he told the Los Angeles Times in 2014. While playing Cousin Itt he was completely obscured behind his costume which was essentially a mountain of hair accessorized with a bowler hat and shades.
