He was played by Jackie Coogan in the original television series, by Christopher Lloyd in the two feature films, and by Patrick Thomas in the direct - for - video film Addams Family Reunion . Finally, Michael Roberds played Fester in The New Addams Family . In the Broadway musical, the part was originated by Kevin Chamberlin, with Brad Oscar taking over on March 8, 2011 . </P> <P> Uncle Fester is incorrigible and except for the good nature of the family and the ignorance of the police, would ordinarily be under lock and key...the eyes are pig - like and deeply embedded...he likes to fish, but usually employs dynamite...he keeps falcons on the roof which he uses for hunting...his one costume...summer and winter...is a black great coat with an enormous collar...he is fat with pudgy little hands and feet . </P>
