Actor, stuntman and circus performer Felix Silla, perhaps best known for his recurring role as Cousin Itt in the 1960's sitcom The Addams Family, passed away today of pancreatic cancer. He was 84.
I remember Silla best for his portrayal of the robot Twiki in the late 1970's-early 1980's action adventure TV series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Silla donned the costume while Mel Blanc supplied the voice. His passing was announced on Twitter by Buck Rogers himself - Gil Gerard.
Silla retired from acting in 1995, but spent many years on the convention circuit with his former co-stars on The Addams Family and Buck Rogers.
I leave with you a short interview Silla did at one of these conventions back in 2015. R.I.P.
