What is “Hand”?
The story of the series focuses on a teenage member of the famous Addams Family , who begins her studies at Nevermore Academy. However, a strange companion is always by her side. The tiptoeing, scarred hand was initially designed to spy on our unruly Wednesday. The teenager, on the other hand, almost immediately “figured out” the trick of worried parents and convinced the little helper to remain faithful to her.
Netflix tweeted out some hilarious photos of what it was like working on the character. It turns out that a real man, Victor Dorobantu , was hired to portray the role .
It was very funny because the language of “Hands” was invented on the fly. Every day we would show up and say, ‘Ahh…’ ‘This looks good.’ I feel like I know what he’s saying. But Tim wanted it to be a real actor, like in the ’90s movies, so it was this magician named Victor. He wore a full blue suit and hid behind walls and under beds. They then built this prosthesis on his hand so that it looked like a surface on the wrist and he could walk.
