"Also making a high-profile appearance was Thing, the faithful severed hand who accompanies the series' protagonist, and was perched on a purple cushion held aloft by Guzman, alternating between making a peace sign and giving the finger. But there was one last person, perhaps more difficult to place: he stood behind the others, wearing a purple shirt, perhaps in an attempt to blend in with the hand raised on the cushion of the same color."
"That was Victor Dorobantu, the 28-year-old Romanian magician whose real hand brings Thing to life. Many people think that Thing is CG, he comments to EL PAIS on a video call. But in fact, it is Dorobantu who brings to life one of the most beloved characters in the series, who is also one of the few to appear in every episode."
At a July 30 London premiere, the actors portraying the Addams Family posed seriously and in character while Thing rested on a purple cushion, alternately making a peace sign and giving the finger. Victor Dorobantu, a 28-year-old Romanian magician, stood behind the cast in a purple shirt and provides the real hand that animates Thing. Many viewers assume Thing is computer-generated, but Dorobantu physically operates the character. Growing recognition and producer visibility have reduced his anonymity, and fans praise Thing as a beloved, recurring presence across episodes.
