'The Addams Family' actor Felix Silla dies at 84

Felix Silla, known for playing Cousin Itt in "The Addams Family," has passed away. He was 84.

His longtime friend Gil Gerard on Saturday shared the sad news on Twitter.

Felix died just a few hours ago and the only good I can draw from his passing is that he didn’t suffer any longer. I will miss him terribly, especially the great time we had at our panels. Just him telling me to ,” go ‘ f ‘ myself”. ????
