The cast of Everybody Hates Chris was part of the Brazilian family for a long time on free-to-air TV. The comedy series that seeks to portray the adolescence of American comedian Chris Rock was an absurd success in Brazil for years, marking the childhood of many young adults today, dealing with heavy social issues such as racism and social class differences with humor and lightness.
Now, years after the end of the series that ended with four seasons, we've decided to put together a list of the main characters of this plot that spans generations and is still as popular as it was when it was first released. Here you'll find out who the cast of Everybody Hates Chris are and how they're doing, as well as other works in which they've taken part. Shall we take a look together?
Joey Caruzo (Travis T. Flory)
One of the most important members of the cast of Everybody Hates Chris is Travis T. Glory. Glory, who plays the bully Joey Caruso. The character is quite controversial, functioning as a villain who doesn't hide his racist ideals at all and who makes the lives of the protagonist and his best friend a living hell.
Travis' career didn't last long, however. He even took part in a few other films, such as the comedy Almost Brothers, released in 2008, and License to Wed in 2007, but then dropped everything to live his life as an ordinary civilian, living in a very small town in California.
Greg Wuliger (Vincent Martella)
Another key member of the cast of Everybody Hates Chris is Vincent Martella, who plays Greg Wuliger, the protagonist's best friend who is also bullied along with him. The boy is fearful and very nerdy, which draws the attention of the school bully in a negative way and brings him and Chris together in an attempt to protect each other.
Vincent Martella continued his career after the end of the series focusing on dubbing cartoons, becoming well known for voicing the character Phineas in Phineas and Ferb. He also made a cameo appearance in The Walking Dead, which made a big impression on fans of his career. It's worth mentioning that Martella recently gained a lot of visibility among Brazilian fans for paying homage to the country on his Instagram account. In a short space of time, his followers grew and surpassed those of the actor who plays Chris, the protagonist of the series, who doesn't seem very friendly when it comes to Brazil.
Miss Morello (Jacqueline Mazarella)
One of the biggest social criticisms conveyed in the series is passed on by the protagonist's teacher, played by Jacqueline Mazarella. In the plot, the character is called Miss Morello and is always trying to prove that she loves the black community and is on their side, but in doing so she reinforces various stereotypes and turns Chris's life into a living hell.
Mazarella's career didn't stand still after the end of Everybody Hates Chris. The actress can be seen in The Bachelors and Paradise Cove, as well as appearing in Jane the Virgin and The Morning Show. Her talent is well exploited in all the series she has appeared in and this only makes the fans' affection for her grow more and more.
Tonya Rock (Imani Hakim)
In the cast of Everybody Hates Chris, actress Imani Hakim plays the protagonist's younger sister, Tonya. She's extremely spoiled because she's the youngest and also her father's favorite. She never misses an opportunity to make Chris's life a living hell, but she also never fails to pick on Drew, his middle brother.
Imani Hakim has had a busy career following her success as Tonya in the series. The girl has appeared in works such as Sharknado, in the version released in 2016, and The Gabby Douglas Story, where she plays the lead role. The actress is very versatile and with each new character her ability is evident to the general public.
Drew Rock (Tequan Richmond)
Drew is the protagonist's younger brother and a constant source of insecurity for him. The boy is taller, more charming and more popular with the girls, which makes Chris feel bad around him. However, Drew doesn't do any of this out of spite, he's always showing himself to be his older brother's friend, as well as trying to screw over his younger sister Tonya in the same way that she tries to screw him over.
In the cast of Everybody Hates Chris, Tequan Richmond plays Drew. Richmond is also a rapper known by his stage name T-Rich and, as an actor, has appeared in Blue Chevrolet, Nowhere Michigan and Savage Youth. Tequan Richmond is currently 31 years old.
Rochele Rock (Tichina Arnold)
Rochele Rock is the protagonist's mother. Tichina Arnold is the actress responsible for bringing the character to life in the cast of Everybody Hates Chris, bringing all the complexity and irreverence of the role of the haughty poor woman who is always worried about what others will think of her and her family.
Arnold is a familiar face in American sitcoms, having been part of the cast of Martin, a series that aired from 1992 to 1997. She is also well remembered for her appearances in 2000's Grandma...Zona and 2018's The Good Neighbor. Still, her role as Rochele in the cast of Everybody Hates Chris is the most remembered among Brazilian fans, generating iconic phrases that have remained engraved in the public imagination to this day, such as the classic "my husband has two jobs" she always said before quitting.
Julius Rock (Terry Crews)
A central figure in the cast of Everybody Hates Chris without being the protagonist, Julius is played by Terry Crewsis one of the biggest names when it comes to comedy acting. The actor has starred in successful feature films such as The White Girls and played an important role in the series Brooklyn 99, which also won the hearts of fans around the world.
Julius proves to be a very thrifty man, working two different jobs to support his family. He drives a truck that delivers newspapers and also works as a security guard, but throughout the series he is always on the lookout for other menial jobs to make a little extra money. Julius is very devoted to his family and even though he works himself to exhaustion, he is still a present father and a loving husband.
Chris Rock (Tyler James Williams)
And finally, we come to the protagonist of the series, played by Tyler James Williams in Everybody Hates Chris. Chris is a simple boy with few friends and modest dreams, but his life is complicated and he's not one of the luckiest people in the world, which makes everything very complicated. To make matters worse, he is transferred to a school where he is the only black boy and almost everyone is extremely racist.
