Mr. Silla, wife Sue, and family were neighbors when I was a youth in the 1970's. He was kind and gave us kids the "time of day" when other adults thought kids should be seen and not heard. My Mom would often babysit his daughter Bonnie. This past April, I was touched when I heard of his passing. He will always be an example of how if you can find your gift here in the USA, you can build a nice life.

Thank you for adding your piece. Isn’t it great how these little bits of information are shared and we all get to feel like we knew him, but you actually did! Sounds like he was a true human being! Some folk think only of themselves and treat others like trash. I avoid those people like the plague. But it’s so refreshing to hear of these truly nice people. 🙂

Cousin Itt may have been on only 19 times but he made such a huge impact you would think he was on a majority of the Addam's Family episodes. Now that's the result of great acting and character building

Thanks for your tribute to Felix. In 1972 I was a student at Florida State University majoring in theatre. The university partnered with a professional theatre company to produce the musical, Halloween starring Jose Ferrar, Barbara Cook, Dick Shawn and four little people, Felix Silla, Billy Barty, Tommy Madden and Emory Souza. The producer, director and composer had all been involved with the Broadway production of Man of La Mancha along with lead actor Jose Ferrar. We all thought this would be a hit. Halloween premiered t FSU in May 1972, ran for 2 weeks and then went on to Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope Pa, ran for one week and never opened on Broadway. A victim of the critics. In September of 2021 I attended Dragon Con, a multigenre convention which feature the Walk of Fame where actors sign autographs and chat with attendees. I have been attending since 2007 and had seen Felix sitting next to Gil Gerrard. I had downloaded the Halloween program from the 1972 FSU production, showed it to Felix and he laughed. He said he remembered it very well, his agent came to him with two opportunities, one was Halloween and the other was playing the part of Mordecai in the Clint Eastwood movie "High Plains Drifter". The part went to Billy Curtis who had played a Munchkin in Wizard of Oz. The film grossed 15.7 million and Halloween lost money. I believe Felix's comment was That's Show Biz.

Thank you so much for posting this! Felix Silla was a dear friend of mine...a very talented but extremely modest gentleman who was always full of fascinating stories about his unique Hollywood career. True story- on many occasions- when we would meet up around the country for breakfast, lunch, or dinner- patrons at other tables would inevitably notice him and sometimes pick up the check for us, in which case Felix would inevitably invite them over to thank them. They would then say how much they loved him in "The Wizard of Oz"! (Felix, of course, was only two years old in 1939 and never appeared in "The Wizard of Oz".. lol). Felix would always get such a kick out of that!😊 To those of you on this message board who have left such nice comments- thank you!❤ Felix loved entertaining people and I know he would have been so appreciative of your kind thoughts.

It's wonderful to hear all these comments. Cousin Itt is such an indelible character and has given me and millions so much joy. I love that character so much. I can't get over the ingenuity and cleverness of the Addams family and Felix was a huge part of it. This video was incredibly well done. What a full, resourceful life Felix had. I wish I could have talked to him. I wish he would have been interviewed before he died. I wish the media would pick up on these things and honor people with an interview so that when they die they can be honored. Felix deserved that. It is amazing how much work he did and how hard he worked his whole life and the great, diverse experiences he had. I'm so glad this video could honor him. Aside from being such a good performer and actor Felix seemed to be so genuine and down to earth. And with a lovely family. I honor him so much.

I’ve watched a number of interviews with Felix - he was quite a character. I’ve always thought that the Addams Family sound engineer could have pulled off Cousin Itt’s voice just fine if he’d ever thought to bring Felix in, and worked with him in the ADR studio to develop the character’s voice that way. Your piece on Felix is superb! You asked for suggestions on who else you could do one of these videos of yours on, and I immediately thought of the late Bob May - best known for portraying on screen the Robot on Lost In Space You’ll find Bob has quite an interesting background like Felix. The American Archive Of Television did a full length interview with him not long before his death which has been uploaded here on KZbin in brief segments. I think if you dig into researching that delightfully funny guy in even as much depth as you gave here to Felix that you will find the entire process quite enjoyable!

These stories are great, I work from home full time as a programmer and often have these running on another monitor for entertainment. I grew up watching a lot of these shows LIVE on TV so it's like visiting old friends.

I had the pleasure of meeting him at a horror convention some years back (2014 - 2016? I forget the exact year). I was only able to chat a short while with him but he was a fascinating guy and a total gentleman to everyone who came to his table.

Wow this guy had such a career. He started out a performer and later moved up the media ladder to a A list performer. I pretty much watched the majority of these shows and it's a surprise to see he was always there right in front of me. I always got a kick out of "Cousin It".

This was awesome. To be in so much classic cultural TV and movies. Mr. Silla should be given a posthumous award for all he has done in his life. This urged me to subscribe to this channel. I remember 96% of his shows. Really well done.

I always enjoy your videos! This one really is special to me to find out the man behind Cousin It. And then to find out what a long and interesting career he had and his fulfilling family life makes everything wonderful. Thank you very much for researching all of these details, providing excellent clips, and just doing an all around fantastic and entertaining job!

What a sweet, lovely video! You hear so many stories of stars with tragic endings, I'm glad that Felix had a long and happy life. I have a friend who is a little over 5 feet tall, and she has hair that grows past her feet. One year for Purim, she brushed her hair forward, put on a bowler hat, gloves, and high top sneakers. Nobody knew who she was! She didn't speak for the first half of the party. I remember seeing her and thinking "Wow, that's a pretty expensive costume. That hair looks so real!" My friend's hair grows like crazy, so she donates about 3 feet of it every 6 months for children with cancer. Yes, that's right - 3 feet of hair in 6 months!
