Did You Know In WEDNESDAY…

That Tim Burton broke filmmaking traditions when it came to casting Gomez Addams for his new Netflix adaptation of The Addams Family? Typically, in Addams Family adaptations of years gone by, Gomes Addams, the father of Wednesday Addams, is portrayed as a handsome and dashing man. Previous actors who have occupied the role include, John Astin in the 1962 version, Raul Julia in the 1991 and 1995 movie adaptations, and Tim Curry in 1998’s The Addams Family Reunion. However, in the original New Yorker cartoon, Gomez Addams is portrayed as rather a portly individual. Director of Wednesday, Tim Burton, may have changed a few details from the story’s original cartoon for his most recent Netflix update, but he did stay true to the cartoon’s vision of Gomez. Burton cast Luiz Guzman in the role of Gomez and the actor has a lot more in common physically with the original cartoon than other actors who have previously played the role.

He is portrayed as a handsome and dashing man
The actor: *WTF DID I DO TO YOU*

[contentcop]

Luis Guzman is a fucking gem of a actor who goes criminally under rated

[chaoticneutralgiraffe]

Raul Julia brought so much passion I cannot ever think on someone else for that role...

[cydude]

Usually Gomez is probably the most expressive out of everyone. His passion for Mortisha is always stated out loud with absolutely no regret, and he's the probably also the most caring out of the family.

[RaveRat]

I feel like the actor is the kind of guy who looks like he's in a gang, but really baked cakes and has cat kitchen decor

[DG_Haus]

Can't beat Raul's energy he brought to the performance

[SeaDoug]

He’s literally like a dad. You wouldn’t call you dad “hot” so like for a show about his daughter I think it’s great that he looks more and gives more of a father vibe

[Reddragon_]

Casting be like

" one of the reasons we chose u is because in all old movies Gomez is handsome"

"Thank you very mu..."

"Yeah, we wanted to change that"

[erickruckenberg]

He did Gomez perfectly. I never felt a scene with him where he couldn’t go completely batshit psycho on someone at any given moment, and the way he fauns over Morticia is very well done.

[deenatodd]

It'll always be Raul for me... he has this certain sweetness about him that I find utterly irresistible

[Jo-jndc]

He doesn’t look ugly, he looks friendlier than the rest tho. With the flashbacks they portrayed him as a very attractive person just that as he’s aged he well- looks his age.

He is the perfect actor for the role. He looks appropiate for a typical dad.

[yessica]

They all fit their eras, but I'll never ever get over my Raul Julia crush.

[flareboi]

the way i audibly said “EXCUSE ME?” because gomez addams is fucking gorgeous 😭😭😭😭

[Leviatiemily]

hes actually adorable, im glad they went with him. The addams family is all about embracing being different and loving it!

[skeletoon]

Bro he legit is perfect for the role, older cartoons portrayed him as a plump man with a big moustache he's picture oerfect

[thetrs]

Luis Guzman is a fantastic actor and deserves every compliment that comes his way.

[jamiephilip]

I'm glad Tim Burton actually hired him! He's perfect for the role. I instally knew who the character was when I saw him.

[aiissa]

he has this spooky but also loving vibe in his looks while having a gentleman and dashing mannerism.

[Smoloompaloompa]

He's been portrayed correctly with every actor in this video 😭
