Not sure if he's already been discussed but John Astin, the gentleman who played Gomez in the 60s Addams Family, is still around. He'll be turning 94 in 2024, if he makes it. The most recent photo I've found of him was in 2021, and he didn't look so great then. Maybe he's someone to consider for 2024.
