Brody stands 5' 2" tall and his sister Bobbie Smith is a country music singer. Back in 1998 his mom and sister Bobbi sat waiting for an appointment. Brody started acting up somewhat, bugging his sister, essentially making like any other eight - year - old boy. At that moment, someone involved in the casting for a new Addams Family TV series to be shot here happened by, glanced over at Brody and stopped dead in her tracks. Here was her Pugsley. After a quick audition, and having never acted in his life before, Brody Smith got the role of Pugsley Addams.
