PE Line- Hollywood CA, In a bizzare case, Hollywood Police found "Thing", the former character actor from the Adams Family television series, dead on Sunset Boulevard with tire tracks across his hand...er...body.
"It appears that "Thing" was the victim of a hit and run." said Officer Riley, the first officer on the scene, "He's been seen around this area before, this is not the best stretch of Sunset, sort of a Red Light district, if you know what I mean. We've even seen Britney Spears and Paris Hilton around here before."
When asked what he thought "Thing" would have been doing in a red light district, the officer blushed and smiled sheepishly, "Well friend, what would any red blooded American, uhmmm, "hand" want? I'll let you use your imagination on that."
When reached for comment, John Astin, who played the part of Gomez Adams said, "I'm deeply saddened to hear about my friend. "Thing" was a...a hand of few words, I think I speak for all the former cast, at least those of us still living, when I say, "Thing" touched all or our lives in one way or another."
"Thing" would have been 78 years old this June, he is survived by his children "Thing 1" and "Thing 2", both of whom appeared in the hit Adams Family movies.
