John Astin – 91
John Astin is responsible for giving us two amazing Hollywood characters. He gave us the quintessential blueprint for the Addams Family character Gomez Addams, which would be later mastered by the late Raul Julia. The other was raising Sean Astin right so that he could play Samwise Gamgee in The Lord Of The Rings with aplomb.
Astin played Gomez in the original Addams Family series from the ’60s, and also voiced the character in the early ’90s animated series. He was famous for more than that, starring in s string of films including the 1961 West Side Story and the 1976 rendition of Freaky Friday.
