Kenneth Patrick Weatherwax (born September 29, 1955) is an American actor. He is best known for playing Pugsley Addams on The Addams Family television series. After the Addams Family was cancelled Kenneth found it difficult to get work in Hollywood (a common occurrence for child actors) and was typecast as Pugsley well into his teens. This made life difficult for him when he returned to the public school system. Many children would recognize him and tease him and he was often forced to change schools to avoid this. At 17 he entered the Army, with his only childhood friend, Adam Knowles and with the uniformity of the military being pressed upon him and his comrades the image of Pugsley faded. Today Ken makes appearances at conventions and still offers his services for acting jobs ranging from voice overs to personal appearances.
Ken Weatherwax has been working behind the camera as a movie studio grip for numerous years.
