Ted Cassidy: Lurch On The Addams Family, And Reporter In Dallas On November 22, 1963

Before he became an actor, Ted Cassidy worked as a staff announcer for WFAA radio in Dallas and was part of WFAA's ongoing coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. He was among the first to interview assassination eyewitnesses W.E. Newman Jr. and Gayle Newman.

By the way, don't confuse the late Ted Cassidy (1932-1979) with the still-alive-but-retired Richard Kiel (1939- ).

He was also the growling voice (if you can call it that :) ) of the Incredible Hulk in the TV series, and also the narrator at the beginning...you know...."Dr. David Banner: physician; scientist. Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have. Then an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry...."....and so on....

I use to watch the Adams Family. I didn't know he was the narrator in the Incredible Hulk. Great information.
