Wednesday Cast: All You Need To Know

Wednesday was a show that instantly became everyone’s favorite. Deriving itself from the cult classic The Addams Family ensemble, the show focused on the relatively-adult adventures of the mean and intelligent daughter of the family, Wednesday. Played by the now very famous Jenna Ortega, Wednesday quickly climbed up the ranks in terms of popularity as well as viewership. 

More than one actor is needed to build a whole fantastic show. The fantastic cast of Wednesday has had everyone in a chokehold. Wednesday is among Netflix’s top five most-viewed shows. Here are all the facts about important actors from the show Wednesday (tv series.)

Jenna Ortega-Wednesday Addams

Interestingly, the heartthrob had passed on the role a few times before finally accepting it. Ortega always wanted to do films and felt scared to take on yet another role in a TV show. Previously she had worked on You, Jane The Virgin, and Stuck in The Middle. 

The actress was stuck on the small screen despite wanting to move on to doing films. She was already famous as a child actress showing up in Jane The Virgin as well as Marvel’s Ironman 3, in which she had a small cameo.

Emma Myers-Enid Sinclair

The ensemble of Wednesday characters feels almost lonesome without the cheerful and colorful Enid. Emma Myers played the werewolf-turning character.

She found most of her fame through her role in Wednesday (tv series.) The actress, however, is not new to acting; she has previously appeared in movies including Girl in the Basement and A Taste of Christmas. She undoubtedly brightens up Wednesday’s usually bleak life.

Catherine Zeta-Jones-Morticia Addams

Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Morticia Addams, the hauntingly beautiful mother of Wednesday Addams. She portrays Morticia Addams, the beloved gothic character who is the family’s loving yet strict mother. From plays to television to movies, she has worked extensively in the field. She performed in well-known movies, including The Mask of Zorro, Entrapment, and Chicago, after relocating to Los Angeles to advance her career. She won an academy award for Best Supporting Actress for her role as Velma Kelly in Chicago (2002.) Interestingly, Zeta-Jones won an award around the same year Jenna Ortega was born! 

Luis Guzmán-Gomez Addams

Luis Guzmán is a veteran actor just like Zeta-Jones. He plays Morticia’s husband and Wednesday’s loving father, Gomez, in the show. The man in his suit showing up in Wednesday episodes always lightens up the mood. He was the favorite of just about everyone.

Luis has worked before on movies like Punch Drunk Love as well as Traffic. The latter was where he first met and worked with Zeta-Jones. Who knew fate would draw them together once again?

Victor Dorobantu-Thing

Thing from Wednesday sat with his five fingers right in the center of everyone’s hearts. Played by Romanian magician and hand performer Victor Dorobantu, Thing is the interesting house pet of the Addams family. Wednesday was Dorobantu’s very first acting project. 

“Thing was a very different type of Thing. It was scarred with stitches. It’s a whole different kind of interpretation,” the actor said about Thing from Wednesday in particular since the iteration by Burton was a bit different from the previous ones.
