I wonder if they ever met in person or even contacted one another to talk about the role when the latter was still living? Or even if Lisa Loring or Ken Weatherax ever met the movie kids Christina Ricci and Jimmy Workman.
shareI don't think Raul based his performance on John's at all. I don't think they even were remotely similar.
shareJohn Astin is the reason Raul Julia Played Gomez tho John created so much of what makes Gomez, Gomez for the tv show and Gomez Addams is the closest character to John Astin's real life personality I've heard
shareCristina Ricci did not base her performance on Lisa Loring so I would guess no on her consulting her.
shareKen Weatherax was working as a grip in the film industry. He was bothered that he was not even asked to work as a grip for the Addams Family movies.
shareTHE NEVER REALIZED,MOSTLY DUE TO JULIA'S DEATH THIRD FILM WOULD HAVE SEEN ASTIN INTRODUCED AS A FAMILY MEMBER(GRANDFATHER,UNLCE,ETC)....A TRUE SHAME WE NEVER GOT THAT FILM.
