Ted Cassidy

[Xerus]

XERUS'S VOICE ARTIST FOCUS:

Today's V/A focus is the late Ted Cassidy who passed away in 1979. Ted was famous for playing the giant grunting butler Lurch on The Addams Family and he even voiced the cartoon Lurch in the classic Addams Family cartoon series. Ted also did a lot of cartoon characters, mainly deep voiced characters like Frankenstein Jr. and growling monsters like Godzilla. I will always remember Ted and his great work as Lurch and his cartoon voices.
