Jenna Ortega is the first Wednesday Addams to also display a Latino descent like her father, with the actress being Puerto Rican and Mexican and Luis Guzmán being Puerto Rican himself. This brings us to Wednesday, which is available to stream with a Netflix subscription.

Isaac was also especially inspired by Raúl Juliá’s version of the character. With Isaac’s portrayal, Gomez kept his Hispanic roots, with Isaac even going for an accent for the character in his own version.
And so then getting my chance to put my spin on it.
And Raul Juliá being one of my biggest inspirations and seeing what he did with that character. Even reading Charles Addams’ comic strip. Gomez is a character that I’ve loved for such a long time just as a fan. When speaking to his approach to the role, Isaac said this in a Universal Pictures featurette for the 2021 sequel: With that casting, the latest Addams Family kept the same cultural makeup as the previous version, with Gomez remaining Hispanic and the rest of the family being largely white characters. In this Addams family, Guatemalan actor Oscar Isaac voiced the role of Gomez, while Charlize Theron voiced Morticia, Chloë Grace Moretz voiced Wednesday and Finn Wolfhard voiced Pugsley. The Addams Family found themselves a comeback in 2019 with the computer-animated version from MGM.

Through syndication, it continued to be part of popular culture and the family were featured in animation through Scooby-Doo a couple of times. The Addams Family found mainstream popularity in the ‘60s and ‘70s, despite the show itself only running two seasons. As Astin told the Ocala Star-Banner in 1965, he was given “free rein” to inject the “Latin-lover blood in Gomez’s veins” with his portrayal of the character for the first time outside his cartoons.Ĭlearly the ‘60s was a different time and the same Castilian Spain stereotype would likely not fly today, but that’s how the Addams family’s Hispanic roots truly got its start. The black comedy sitcom began the Hispanic origins of The Addams Family when Charles Addams left the name choice up to the series’ actor, John Astin, who went with “Gomez” rather than Addams’ preferred given name of Repelli (a play on the word repellent), per The Smithsonian Magazine. Then came the iconic ‘60s television series. (Image credit: MGM Television) The Original Addams Family TV Series
