how did they film thing in the addams family
Thing (The Addams Family) Since Cassidy was 6' 9" (2.06Â m) tall,[2] using him to depict Thing caused great technical difficulties on the set of The Addams Family. In many scenes he lay on his back on a wheeled trolley, below the line of sight of the cameras, and inserted his arm through the bottom of the box. Thing was usually a right hand, but Cassidy sometimes played it as left, simply to see if anyone would notice. Thing is credited as "itself" at the end of each episode.
