His work as Uncle Fester capped a long and storied career for Jackie Coogan. Here's a look into the saddest moments in the life of the late Jackie Coogan.. Fester Addams is the brother of Gomez Addams and the brother-in-law of Morticia Addams. He is the uncle of Wednesday and Pugsley Addams. He is portrayed by Christopher Lloyd and appears in the 1991 film The Addams Family and the 1993 film Addams Family Values. Michael Hittesdorf portrays him as a teen, and Ryan Anderson portrays him as a pre-teen.
Fester is still lost, his look alike Gordon didn't have amnesia but likes the Addams family better than his unloving mom. He's just cool now so the Addams are open to him. The amnesia excuse is just for the legality of it and so the kids don't have too hard of feelings.. Uncle Fester is a completely hairless, hunched, and barrel-shaped man with dark, sunken eyes and often a deranged smile. He always wears a heavy, full-length greatcoat. Fester was derived from a character drawn by Charles Addams for a series of cartoons featuring a grotesque family, though Addams never gave the characters names.
