John Allen Astin was born on 30 March 1930, in Baltimore, Maryland USA, and is an actor, known from appearing in numerous television shows and films. He has also tried his hand at directing and voice acting. One of his most memorable roles was playing Gomez Addams in “The Addams Family”. All of his efforts have helped put his net worth to where it is today.

How rich is John Astin? As of early-2017, sources estimate a net worth that is at $6 million, mostly earned through a successful career in acting. His directing debut – a short film called “Prelude” – would be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film. All of these achievements have ensured the position of his wealth.

Astin attended Washington & Jefferson College, and later transferred to Johns Hopkins University, graduating in 1952 with a degree in drama though he originally studied mathematics.

After his studies John started working in theater, making his Broadway debut in “Major Barbara” as an understudy. He also worked on commercials, mainly as a voice over. In 1962, he had his first break, in the musical “West Side Story” although a small part. He was noticed by actor Tony Randall who would later recommend him for various sitcoms such as “Dennis the Menace”. Astin would also appear in “Harrigan and Son” and “The Donna Reed Show”, and then he appeared in the final episode of “The Asphalt Jungle” before becoming part of “I’m – this show ran for a total of 31 episodes from 1962 to 1963. The following year, he starred in “The Addams Family” playing the head of the family Gomez Addams. Later in his career, he would become part of “The New Addams Family” television show as Grandpapa Addams. These opportunities slowly built his net worth.

John would then appear in “The Pruitts of Southampton” before playing the Riddler in the second season of “Batman”. He also became part of the television series “Operation Petticoat” playing submarine commander Matthew Sherman. Afterwards, he made a guest appearance in “Murder, She Wrote” as the villain, before having a recurring role in the sitcom “Night Court”, playing a former mental patient and the father of the lead character. In 1985, he would become part of the short lived “Mary”, before making guest appearances in “Duckman”, and “The Greatest Show on Earth”. Astin would then get recognized for creating the short film “Prelude” which garnered an Academy Award nomination, then worked on “Tales from the Crypt” which earned him an Ace Award nomination.

He then spent four years on the Board of Directors for the Writers Guild of America.

Other projects John has become part of include “The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.” He also headed the one-man play called “Edgar Allan Poe: Once Upon a Midnight”, and currently teaches at Johns Hopkins University as part of the Theater Arts and Studies Department. Thanks to these endeavors, he has continued to increase his net worth.

For his personal life, it is known that Astin was married to Suzanne Hahn (1956-72) and they had three children.

John Allen Astin Quotes

  • It is important to me that what Poe has to say gets across to people. I want to give people the feeling that I get from all this. I think that we are succeeding. The feedback is very warm.
  • Sometimes when I see a performance that really takes me, I struggle. How can I express this to this person, I want this person to know how I felt. I want to get this across, and it’s not very easy.
  • My background is basically scientific math. My Dad was a physicist, so I have it in my blood somewhere. Scientific method is very important to me. I think anything that contradicts it is probably not true.
  • The themes Poe used were universal and timeless. As long as the English language exists at all, we will be able to appreciate what he did. It will not age! It will not become dated!
  • I guess one of the reasons I’m doing the Poe piece is that I think Poe demonstrates that no matter how difficult things are, if you continue to move forward in life, you can eventually become victorious, even if it’s later in life.
  • United Artists wanted to do records with me. I had no idea, what a rare thing that was… to make an album. And they put a guy with me working on songs, and I got busy with films. I just kind of let it slide. Isn’t that amazing?
  • There was one where Gomez was on a Trapeze hanging by the legs upside down. I remember how much the backs of my knees would hurt until I got used to it. It was hard.
  • My work is to reach people with ideas, hopes, dreams, encouragement, insight, and revelation. That’s what an actor wants to do.
  • At a certain point he was very popular, from THE RAVEN. He was never fully appreciated, never made the money, and you know he was looked upon with admiration by some people, but also as an oddball. But that was his point.
  • One of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It’s nothing fake or jive. They’re giving sincere appreciation. And it’s not that easy to express.
  • I got things like the lotus position long before anybody else did, or at least in the mainstream. But I had fun. I guess my legs are pretty flexible, so I used to get a kick out of doing things like that. I would get into a full lotus with my legs and then roll around.
  • People are smarter than you might think.
  • The feedback that I get from my association with Gomez is heartwarming. It is very difficult for me to take anything but a positive view of the Gomez phenomenon.
  • We are running ourselves into a damaged earth. But I am optimistic. I believe that we can change; we must change. As a human race, we are very young and quite primitive. The sooner we learn the greatness of humanity the better off we will all be.
  • I think Poe had a mission to tell us what it’s all about. To answer some of the great questions of life.
  • One life is worth the universe. Poe was able to go right into the very depth of life and to demonstrate this.
  • There are things so deep and complex that only intuition can reach it in our stage of development as human beings. And to Poe… well, a great logician could be an enemy to him, what he called conventional world reason.
  • I love to play for audiences that are simply made of people rather than so-called special people.
  • I think people really want to be happy.
  • People are transported to that space that Poe wanted to make available to us.
  • Poe was a student of many things, and among those things he read and referred to in his work was the Bible.
  • I get into certain yoga positions at times, when I’m working out and for exercises. I use a little of it in some of my meditation, but I chant now and that sort of replaced it.
  • I figure I basically am a ghost. I think we all are.
  • [about filming The Addams Family (1964)] Sometimes it was tough doing take after take upside down! I did a lot of that sort of thing.
