'' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Tyler James Williams Information Nickname ( s ) Little Dude from Across the Street, Chrissy The Black, DJ Chrissy Chris, Juicy Fruit, Mr. Cool, Swish, Short Bus Gender Male Occupation Grocery store clerk, football team manager, student Relatives Julius ( father ), Rochelle ( mother ), Drew ( brother ), Tonya ( sister ) Tyler James Williams as Chris, the ambitious, normal, responsible, kind - hearted, but unlucky, unpopular, untalented, nonathletic, nonacademic, hapless, awkward, nerdy, vulnerable and mischievous eldest child and main protagonist of the series. He wishes he was more like his younger brother, Drew. Regardless of whether Chris possesses any of these traits, he 's certainly never treated as if he does ( being disliked by the opposite race, unlike his siblings ). He tries hard to fit in with his peers, but often finds himself a victim of circumstance. Chris is bullied at school ( with little help from teachers or faculty members ), tortured by his sister, shown up by his brother, victimized by the racist teaching staff, rejected by girls, slandered by his neighbors, gets his money stolen by neighborhood thugs, does poorly in class, is underpaid at work, and receives tough love from his mother and distressing treatment from his father. As the eldest child, he is often put in charge of his younger siblings, but they usually disobey him and he usually has to take the blame for them. Next to all this, Chris is always the butt of the last jokes on each show. People just seem to hate him for inexplicable reasons. His luck improves as the series progresses. One of his talents is playing Asteroids and the other is calling basketball games. As he gets older, Chris becomes interested in stand - up comedy and begins telling jokes in school. At the end of the series -- after being told that he has to repeat the tenth grade for constantly being late for school -- he drops out and gets his GED. Julius Julius Everybody Hates Chris character First appearance `` Everybody Hates the Pilot '' Last appearance `` Everybody Hates the G.E.D. '' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Terry Crews Information Nickname ( s ) Herc, Big Man Gender Male Occupation Newspaper delivery man, security guard, cab driver, fish packager Spouse ( s ) Rochelle ( Wife ) Children Chris ( Son ), Drew ( Son ), Tonya ( Daughter ) Relatives Louis ( Brother ) Ryan ( Brother ) Pete ( Brother ), Gene ( Father - in - law ), Maxine ( Mother - in - law ), Mike ( Brother - in - law ), Charlotte ( Sister - in - law ) Julius ( played by Terry Crews ) based on Chris Rock 's real father, he is Rochelle 's cheap, frugal, worrisome, levelheaded devoted, husband and the father of Chris, Tonya, and Drew. He is known for his extreme cheapness and taking the easy way out when it comes to purchasing essential items for his family ( such as by using food - stamps and buying store - brands ). Julius ' cheapness is also exhibited by how he uses duct tape to fix everything and anything broken in the house. He has even been shown to memorize the price of nearly every object in his family 's possession, shouting it out loud when such an item has been wasted or ruined. One of his most famous character attributes is bargaining his way out of having to pay full price for an item. He coddles Tonya and is more likely than his wife to give her what she wants, and will react with a lecture every time one of his children considers quitting or asks him about receiving money. Said lectures having been known to last for hours on end and be encouraging to his kids in order to avoid bringing up such subjects around him. It is implied that Julius can understand Chinese but can not speak it due to the fact that when he communicates with Mr. Fong, ( who speaks in Chinese towards him ) he is able to respond back. Whenever Chris has a problem, he goes to Julius, who gives him advice in a confusing manner. Once, Chris remarked that even though he did n't understand what his father said, it made him feel better anyway. Rochelle Rochelle Everybody Hates Chris character First appearance `` Everybody Hates the Pilot '' Last appearance `` Everybody Hates the G.E.D. '' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Tichina Arnold Information Nickname ( s ) Chelle Gender Female Occupation Secretary, Beautician, Waitress, Realtor, Store Worker, Shoe Saleswoman. Spouse ( s ) Julius ( Husband ) Children Chris ( Son ), Drew ( Son ), Tonya ( Daughter ) Relatives Michael ( Brother ), Gene ( Father, deceased ), Maxine ( Mother ), Charlotte ( Sister ), Mousey ( Aunt ), Louis ( Brother - in - law ), Ryan ( Brother - in - law ), Pete ( Brother - in - law ) Rochelle ( played by Tichina Arnold ) is Julius ' strict, humorously cheeky wife and is the mother of Chris, Tonya, and Drew. She is an assertive woman who frequently becomes apprehensive over things that often have nothing to do with the current subject matter ( such as Tonya becoming pregnant or her kids selling drugs ). She is noted for the saucy comebacks that she uses to put a stop to any complaints that her children might have. She uses the comebacks to ensure that they do not end up performing a crime or great misdeed of some sort ; she also fears that they may wind up as street criminals. The narrator describes her as a `` Ghetto Snob '', likely because of her cautious behavior towards the way her family is perceived in public. She shares loving moments with her children, showing that her true intentions for her assertive ways are sincerely because she cares for them. She also has a passion for chocolate Turtles, which often calm her, and experiences symptoms of withdrawal whenever she must sacrifice them for whatever reason. She is also noted for having to get jobs, and then quitting her job whenever she has a problem with it. Rochelle 's famous catchphrase that refers to this running gag is : `` I do n't need this, my man has two jobs ! '' This expresses her using Julius ' having two jobs as an excuse to quit her job and be comfortable at home. She is very judgemental towards Julius when it comes to their marriage. This can be seen in the episodes where she starts to think that Julius will leave her for a white woman or finds something which leads her to believe that Julius is having an affair. She sometimes disagrees to Julius ' methods about being cheap, like when they celebrated Kwanza instead of Christmas. Julius believes that this method is an effective way to save money for more important things rather than materialistic items. There are times where Rochelle understands Julius ' behavior, like in the episode where he got a second job in order to earn more money for the family. However, Rochelle eventually developed second thoughts about the situation, for she believed that Julius was actually throwing money away. In the final season of the series, Rochelle works as a beautician at Nessa 's Beauty Salon, where in previous seasons she would often get her hair done. She also shared gossip with her friend and owner of the salon, Vanessa ( Jackee Harry ) and other workers of the salon. Another running gag about her is that she regularly threatens her children with physical violence but does not hit them. It is only when she takes them into a room saying `` we need to talk '' when she smacks them. Drew Drew Everybody Hates Chris character First appearance `` Everybody Hates the Pilot '' Last appearance `` Everybody Hates the G.E.D. '' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Tequan Richmond Information Nickname ( s ) My Baby Boy Gender Male Occupation Student, Grocery Store Clerk Relatives Julius ( Father ) Tonya ( Sister ) Rochelle ( Mother ) Chris ( Brother ) Drew ( played by Tequan Richmond ) is Chris 's popular, lucky, talented, athletic, academic, not - virgin, and handsome younger brother. As opposed to the malicious rejection and harassment Chris receives from his peers, Drew is idolized above all of his classmates. His supreme charm earned him a multitude of girlfriends in the past. Secretly, Chris envies the limitless amount of luck and talent possessed by his younger brother, who appears slightly older than he does. Drew 's height as opposed to that of Chris provides his elder brother with a number of disadvantages. Ironically, Drew himself looks up to Chris and envies all the responsibility and trust their parents give him. Highly athletic, Drew loves hockey and idolizes Wayne Gretzky. He is also shown to be interested in magic and karate. Drew also has the talent of copying things he sees off of television, especially karate movies. He becomes more responsible and more hardworking as the series progresses. `` Was n't Me '' is a familiar catchphrase of his, often to get himself out of any possible trouble he is sure he had nothing to do with. In one episode, the narrator even claims that this was his first phrase as a baby. This was first introduced in the Pilot episode. Tonya Tonya Everybody Hates Chris character First appearance `` Everybody Hates the Pilot '' Last appearance `` Everybody Hates the G.E.D. '' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Imani Hakim Information Gender Female Occupation Student Family Julius ( Father ) Rochelle ( Mother ) Drew ( Brother ) Chris ( Brother ) Tonya ( played by Imani Hakim ) is Chris and Drew 's younger sister. She is a smart - mouthed, and shrewd little girl who enjoys getting her brothers in trouble by whining to her parents about things they never actually did, and Julius and Rochelle always believe her. However, in the third and fourth seasons, she tends to hold a soft spot for Drew and Chris ( when Chris got thrown out of the house, she admitted she does n't want him gone and she and Drew try to rethink Chris 's and her mother 's decisions ) by charging money to keep her mouth shut if they do something wrong ( particularly to Chris ), and sometimes hangs around Drew. Billy Ocean is her favorite entertainer ( though later on she adopts a fondness for Danny Glover ), and telling by the way Tonya believes that he originally was responsible for the invention of the Moonwalk instead of Michael Jackson, she might not like to believe what she does not want to believe. Julius over-indulges Tonya and is usually the parent apt to give her what she wants, whereas Rochelle is normally not afraid to not provide Tonya with one of her desires if it is for something she is unwilling to give to her daughter, and worries that one mistake in raising her will be linked to her being pregnant one day, and `` She ai n't raisin ' no babies ''. She is very attractive, and is usually given nice gifts from the neighborhood kids ; for example, James ( one of her admirers ) bought her a car in one episode. Greg Greg Wulliger Everybody Hates Chris character First appearance `` Everybody Hates the Pilot '' Last appearance `` Everybody Hates the G.E.D. '' Created by Chris Rock, Ali LeRoi Portrayed by Vincent Martella Information Gender Male Occupation Student Relatives Art Wuliger ( Father ) Vincent Martella as Gregory `` Greg '' Wuliger, Chris 's weird, nerdy, and anxious best friend.

On top of being a good student, Greg also has a series of odd quirks ( such as going to bed dressed as different superheroes ), but considers himself cool. He has a book about almost everything in his locker. He is an only child and is of Italian and Swedish descent. His mom married his dad because she lost a bet but ran off with his uncle Patrick Wuliger, who later had a gender change. After graduating from Corleone, Greg went to a different high school from Chris in Season 4, but got kicked out due to poor grades when he tried to portray a tougher image. He transferred to the same high school that Chris attends and the two continue their friendship. Although his father was seen in one episode his mother is never actually seen. Greg 's catch phrase is `` You 're so in there ''. He was absent from only two episodes in the entire series. The Narrator Chris Rock as The Narrator ( voice ), a sarcastic older Chris looking back at his youth, like that of The Wonder Years. His narration is usually the opposite of what his younger self says, but is actually thinking. The Narrator also mentions his disdain for George W.

Recurring characters Bed - Stuy residents Mike Estime as Risky, a street dealer who sells items that are always bootlegged or stolen by him. His real name is Richard. Whenever he appears, a chorus of people whispering `` Risky ! '' is heard in the background in the early episodes. He later works at Manny 's barbershop.

A dimwitted, older teenager in the neighborhood who frequently greets Chris with `` Lemme hold a dollar '' to which Chris almost always complies. He 'll sometimes ask for a dollar just out of boredom. He nicknames Chris `` li'l dude from across the street '', or simply `` li'l dude ''. In Jerome 's first appearances on the series, he is a predatory, minor villain but that idea is soon abandoned and subsequent appearances portray him as a much friendlier person. Chris soon finds him becoming an unlikely friend, and on occasion, Chris will go to him when in need of some useful teenage advice, advice that he is only too happy to give -- as soon as Chris gives him the dollar he asks for. The family once caught him breaking into their apartment with a credit card. Despite all of this, he does display genuine concern for Chris when he needs him. Ernest Lee Thomas as Mr. Omar, a funeral director, who rents an upstairs room in the family 's building. He is seen with a different newly widowed woman for almost every appearance he makes. He claims just to be consoling these attractive women in their time of grief. He frequently says `` Tragic ! Tragic ! ''. He also frequently requests to `` borrow '' things and takes advantage of Rochelle 's need to keep up appearances to the chagrin of Julius. For example, he uses their phone and racks up a huge phone bill, invites himself to dinner, and even borrows his way into a Thanksgiving dinner invitation. He seems to have something wrong with his right eye. Jeris Lee Poindexter as `` Kill Moves '', an insane, senile, homeless man who practices martial arts and at one point teaches Drew some karate moves. His real name is Edgar Devereaux. Kill Moves ' mother is actually a millionaire, but he prefers to live freely on the streets.

When asked her again for his $25, she pretends that she forgot about it and that she does n't have any money despite that there 's a cash register in front of her. J.B. Smoove as Manny, the local owner of the barbershop who appeared in season 3. He is always shown giving helpful advice and joking around.

He is the main antagonist of the series. In each episode, he refers to Chris by a different nickname such as `` Satchmo '', `` Kareem '', `` Tito '' or `` Cornbread ''. In the series finale, it is revealed that Caruso actually admires Chris and the only reason he has picked on Chris in school is because he has been jealous of his determination and achievement and had crushed Chris 's spirit only so he himself would not feel inferior. Jacqueline Mazarella as Ms. Vivian Morello, Chris ' naively racist teacher, and later his high school principal. Due to her apparent attraction to African American men, she holds a soft spot for Chris and tries to support him at every opportunity ( such as giving him a Valentine 's Day card out of sympathy, or giving him advice on running for the class president ).
