Ken Weatherwax was an actor best known for the role of Pugsley Addams on the 1960s' television comedy The Addams Family.

Born in Los Angeles in 1955, Weatherwax began acting at a young age and was just nine when he was cast as Pugsley, the son of Gomez and Morticia Addams, played by John Astin and Carolyn Jones, respectively. The show, a macabre comedy that aired from 1964-66, was based on characters created by cartoonist Charles Addams.
