Lurch (The Addams Family) Lurch (The Addams Family) Lurch (whose first name is unknown) is a fictional character created by American cartoonist Charles Addams as a manservant to The Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by Ted Cassidy, who used the famous catchphrase, "You rang?" (a similar phrase was the trademark of the character Maynard G.

In a couple of illustrations, the Family is seen decorating Lurch like they would a Christmas tree.
Work It (TV series) failed earlier in the season.
