Where You’ve Seen The Cast Of The Munsters Before

Fans of the 1964 series know Herman Munster well as the patriarch of the family and the husband of Lily. Created by Victor Frankenstein, he moved to Transylvania, where he met his wife and then relocated with the rest of his family to the U.S. The role was originated with the iconic performance of Fred Gwynne, but other actors, including Richard Long and John Schuck, have portrayed the character in later TV movies. Jeff Daniel Phillips is starring in Rob Zombie’s film as Herman, with a character design that’s generally very faithful to the original look (via Yahoo).

Phillips made his first movie appearance in 1991 with an uncredited role in “Son of Darkness: To Die For II,” and followed that up with appearances in “Sneakers” and “Peephole.” He subsequently had parts in a number of television series, including “Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction,” “Standoff,” and “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” and he memorably played Tenderloin in four episodes of “Westworld.” The actor is most recognizable, though, for his portrayal of a caveman in a series of Geico commercials that was later developed into an infamously unsuccessful TV sitcom called “Cavemen” (via Film School Rejects). “The Munsters” is Phillips’ fifth collaboration with Zombie, following roles in “Halloween II,” “The Lords of Salem,” “31,” and “3 from Hell.”
