Whether it's Halloween or not, The Addams Family will always be one of our all-time favorite movies. Between Wednesday's crazy antics and comedic situations the family gets themselves into, there's a reason why the family has become a go-to group costume. And, now with Netflix's anticipated new series Wednesday, you may be curious to know what ever happened to the OG characters of Addams Family Values.

Well, so far we know that Christina Ricci who played Wednesday will be returning to the upcoming Netflix show as a new character, but what about her brother Pugsley? Fans haven't seen much of young troublemaker since the '90s, so we did a little digging.

Here's what Jimmy Workman (a.k.a Pugsley) is up to now:

Jimmy Workman made his acting debut in 1991 as Pugsley Addams. Believe it or not, the whole thing was an accident.

At 8-years-old he accompanied his older sister Shanelle to her audition for the part of Wednesday. As he was playing around on set, the producer and director noticed young Jimmy. Once he read part of the script in an impromptu audition, he got the part as the eldest child of the Addams family.

Since then, Jimmy starred in the sequel, Addams Family Values and had small roles in As Good As It Gets and The Biggest Fan. Other than that, he decided acting wasn't really his jam, so he retired shortly after and began a career behind the lens as part of the technical staff of film and TV production.
