JOHN ASTIN | 89

John Austin played the part of the patriarch, Gomez Addams in the Addams Family TV show and his portrayal of that character gained him a lot of recognition. Right from that period, Astin was on a success roll in his career. John Austin was born March 30,1930,in Baltimore,MD. He attended Johns Hopkins University and studied Mathematics and he also discovered a passion for theater and started performing in minor plays and doing voice-over work for commercials.

Getting advanced in age, the American actor refused to give in as he keeps making a positive impact by lecturing young actors at the famous Johns Hopkins University. Austin has since lent his comedic talents to numerous appearances as Dr.Gangreen in several Corny killer Tomato movies and has contributed his voice to recreate Gomez Addams in the animated series, The Adams Family. It is wise to assume that the veteran actor must have cleverly secured his future and final moments and that of his family with smart investments and suitable insurance policies.
