THE UNTOLD TRUTH 💚 TED CASSIDY

Large and loveable - Lurch was the Addams Family butler, but ironically Ted Cassidy didn’t want this to be the role that he was known for! Ted Cassidy hated that Hollywood had typecast him as a monster - it felt very similar to the bullying he had faced as a child. So let’s find out how Cassidy became so successful despite huge odds stacked against him.

Cassidy actually got his start on radio and was one of the first people to interview eyewitnesses in the aftermath of JFK’s assassination. This wasn’t Cassidy’s only experience working in radio though - he later recorded a song called “The Lurch” which inspired a 60s dance craze.

And if you’re lucky maybe I’ll teach you how to do the Lurch! I’m your host – Nostalgic Nick! If you enjoy this deep dive, please make sure to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel so you never miss an episode! Let’s Lurch on in!
