George Beard

George R. Beard is one of the two main protagonists (alongside Harold Hutchins) of the Captain Underpants franchise, And He Is A One Of The deuteragonist (Along With Kelly, Tex the Robot, Lincoln, Bob From Ready Steady Build, Ben Tennyson & Harold Hutchins).
He is an African-American nine-year-old fourth grader with a tie and a flat top haircut. He has created comic book characters like Captain Underpants, Super Diaper Baby, Timmy the Talking Toilet, Dog Man, Ook and Gluk, and the Amazing Cow Lady.
In the film, he is voiced by Kevin Hart, who also portrayed Calvin Joyner in Central Intelligence, Anthony Johnson/Franklin "Mouse" Finbar in the Jumanji films, Darnell Lewis in Get Hard, Snowball in The Secret Life of Pets films, and Ace in DC League of Super-Pets.
In the Netflix series, he is voiced by Ramone Hamilton.
In the scholastic audiobook series, he is voice by Len Forgione (while some scenes of the audiobooks he is voiced by Dazjon Freeman (Audiobooks 1-6), I'ke Mitchell (Audiobooks 7-9), and Jaden Rogers (Audiobooks 10-12).
== Personality ==
Just like his best friend, Harold, George is a mischievous, but ultimately good-natured prankster who, despite the practical jokes he pulls at the expense of his mean principal and teachers, does care about his friends and would help Captain Underpants in stopping whatever threats they may face.
== Physical Appearance ==
George is a 10 year old African-American boy. He is introduced as being "the kid on the left with the tie and flat top". True to this description, George wears a white collared T-shirt with a red tie and has a crew cut (before Harold gave him a haircut during their final anti-bully prank, he had an afro that was bigger than his body at the time). He also wears shorts and brown shoes. In the animated incarnations, his hair is curlier.
== Trivia ==
* In an interview about the Captain Underpants book series, the creator of the Captain Underpants books, it confirms that George and his best friend, Harold were similar to Dav Pilkey when he was a kid as Dav Pilkey mentioned it.
* Both he and Harold have Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
* Since the first season of The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants, he and Harold have made at least 500 visits to the principal's office.
* He, Harold, Mr. Krupp, and Captain Underpants are the only characters in The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants to appear in every episode.
* In book six, he actually breaks the fourth wall by yelling at the narrator to stop describing Melvin's booger form so frequently, as he is making everyone ill with his disgusting imagery.
* The film suggests that he may have a fear of bleeding.
* In the animated series, he has a particularly loud shriek.
* He broke the fourth wall in the fifth volume by referring to Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space (and the Subsequent Assault by Equally Evil Lunchroom Zombie Nerds) as "the book with the annoyingly long title."
* Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, both of which Kevin Hart starred in, came out in 2017.
* While all counterparts of George and Harold are portrayed as mischievous pranksters, the film portrays them as more noble; playing pranks on teachers to make school life more bearable for them and their classmates. Their book counterparts pull pranks and make jokes at everyone's expense, and usually only they end up laughing.
** In the animated film adaptation, they are still jokers, but they get more heroic moments compared to their book counterparts. While they were still heroic and likable in the books, they tend to create humor to brighten other people's days rather than use it for their own amusement. This leads to a plot in the movie that is almost absent in the books, George and Harold decide to be nicer to Mr. Krupp because he has no one to take care of him. This never happens in the books, where Krupp remains a fairly two-dimensional villain.
** This also applies to animated series, where they are not only kind and cooperative with their friends and classmates. Not to mention they willingly go to Krupp's office knowing it would result in their expulsion from Jerome Horwitz to return his rulebook. The reason is they know his job is the only thing that makes him happy in life and taking that away is the wrong thing to do.
