Main Characters

Here are the most important characters you'll see in Rugrats:

• Tommy Pickles (voiced by E. G. Daily) is the main character and the older son of Stu and Didi Pickles. He's a brave 1-year-old who loves adventure and always tries to do what's right.

• Chuckie Finster (voiced by Christine Cavanaugh and Nancy Cartwright) is Tommy's best friend. He's 2 years old, making him the oldest of the babies. Unlike Tommy, Chuckie is often scared and clumsy. He usually lists all the reasons why the babies shouldn't go on an adventure! Later, Chuckie gets a Japanese stepmother named Kira and a stepsister named Kimi, who he loves very much.

• Angelica Pickles (voiced by Cheryl Chase) is Tommy and Dil's 3-year-old cousin. She's often seen as the "villain" of the group because she likes to boss the babies around and trick them.

• Dil Pickles (voiced by Tara Strong) is Tommy's younger brother. He was born in The Rugrats Movie. Dil is the youngest of the babies and often just drools, cries, or babbles.
