    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. Krebs in The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis).

    When the phrase was delivered in the actor's slow basso profondo voice, producers found it so funny that it was incorporated into the show despite the character having been intended as a non-speaking part. Cassidy also voiced the character in the first animated series, as well as the episode of The New Scooby-Doo Movies cartoon that preceded it.

    In the second animated series, Lurch was voiced by Jim Cummings. Carel Struycken played Lurch in the later films. In The New Addams Family series, Lurch was portrayed by Canadian actor John DeSantis. Zachary James recently performed this character in the Broadway musical and Ben Hudson plays the role in the Sydney, Australia, production of the same musical.
