"It doesn't matter if you're big and tall or ugly or pretty. Deep inside, every actor wants to play Hamlet--at least
I hope he does, because that's the craft."

Ahh...Thing. Always there when you need him. Always there to "lend a hand." But WHICH hand? Was he a lefty or
a righty? Was he ambidextrous? Click on Thing's picture for episode-by-episode "Thing Trivia."
Thing starts the music for Lurch's dance lesson. |

"I played Thing. I always have."--Ted Cassidy, Starlog magazine
Yes, that is true, but what about the episodes in which both Lurch AND Thing appeared in the same scene? See a list of
those episodes on my "Thing Trivia" page.
