Netflixs Wednesday Addams series has found its father figure, casting Luis Guzman as Gomez. Collider reports that Guzman (Traffic, Boogie Nights, Narcos) is set to play the Addams patriarch in the upcoming series Wednesday, joining Jenna Ortega who is playing the titular role.

Guzman follows in the footsteps of previous Gomez Addams actors John Astin (the original series), Raul Julia (the beloved 1990s films), and Tim Curry (the less beloved 1998 straight to video film), as well as Oscar Isaac who voiced Gomez in the 2019 animated film.

Wednesday is produced and directed by Tim Burton and will be an eight-episode series, described as a coming-of-age comedy with a supernatural mystery. The series synopsis says it will chart the titular heroines years as a student at the peculiar Nevermore Academy as she attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, while also thwarting a monstrous killing spree terrorizing the local town and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships of the strange and diverse student body.

Nah. In the original comic/cartoon, Gomez is a short pudgy dude.

Hey now, John Astin was plenty handsome too!

Ricci is only 5'1"

She's hot enough but not tall enough. They'll have to do some Peter Jackson camera trickery just to make it work.

They were all hideous and creepy looking by design. This idea of Gomez being some kind of casanova didn't happen until much later.

Ignoring the racist undertones, one of the most famous portrayals of the character was done by a Puerto Rican man....

And the original comic strip character was a short, pudgy ugly guy. He didn't become suave and sexy until the TV show.

While I think he has the acting chops to pull this off, I wish this would have been made ten years ago. I think he's a bit old to be playing the role.

I hope to be proven wrong, however.

I'm aware but the thing is Julia was a classical theater actor and brought an incredible energy to the character that's shadowed actors taking that part ever since. Even Tim Curry tried his damnedest to make it his own but he couldn't top Raul's.
I never saw whatever the hell the Oscar Isaac's version was but he probably could've come super close if it was live action.

Anyway, overall point is that the role needed to go to a more skilled Latino actor imo.

John Leguizamo is only 4 years older than Raul when Raul did it.

What do you think?

And Guzman is a trained theater actor as well. He's not some "NYRICAN street guy" as you so eloquently put it.

It's not Guzman's fault that the only roles for Latin actors we he came up have been drug dealers, rapists, gang members, etc...

Catherine Zeta-Jones will be Morticia.

Maybe I should have just started another topic about how hot I still think Catherine Zeta-Jones is, since this seems to be the Luis Guzman isn't hot enough topic.

Just to clear the air, I'm actually from the Bronx as well as half hispanic so when I say NYRican, it's a term of endearment because well, he's from both the island and city and he's been defined by that for most of his career. That shit isn't derogatory but it is what it is, I've never seen him act in a very over the top way that the part may require.

His one-man shows and impressions were masterclass so yes, definitely. Also I probably know where you're going with that choice, but John's also had a more varied character acting career.

Oh, I thought I had made a major fuck up on the names when I saw that pic.

Should have read more; I would be completely fine with that pick.

Will Tim Burton have the balls to cast Johnny Depp?

Does Johnny have what it takes to take on Fester?
