September 29 ,1955 inLos Angeles, California ) is an American actor, best known for playingPugsley Addams on "The Addams Family" television series.After the "Addams Family" was cancelled, Weatherwax found it difficult to get work in Hollywood (a common occurrence for
child actor s) and was typecast as Pugsley well into his teens. This made life difficult for him when he returned to the public school system. Many children would recognize him and tease him and he was often forced to change schools to avoid this.At 17, Weatherwax entered the
US Army , with his only childhood friend, Adam Knowles, and, with the uniformity of the military being pressed upon him and his comrades, the image of Pugsley faded. Today, Ken makes appearances at conventions and still offers his services for acting jobs ranging fromvoiceover s to personal appearances.Ken Weatherwax has been working behind the camera as a movie studio grip for a number of years.
