16 roles
Cute and winsome, but not precious. Bright, but not precocious. A regular kid you wouldn’t mind having as a next-door neighbor. He’s a bit mischievous and rascally but with a twinkle in his eye.
Ralphie’s younger brother. Cute, cuddly and whiny. Admires Raphie but won’t admit it. He’s at the stage of childhood wherein he seems opposed to everything, but he’s still lovable - not a brat.
Ralphie’s friend and classmate.
Ralphie’s friend and classmate.
A classmate.
A classmate.
The textbook example of a school-yard bully, except this truant doesn’t go to school. He is loud, obnoxious and intimidating. Older than Ralphie and his classmates by a year or two, he wears a perpetual scowl beneath his trademark racoon cap. He always appears at the most inopportune times to scare and harass his innocent victims.
lways at Farkus’ side. Much younger and decidedly smaller than Farkus, Dill delights in being tethered to his “hero”. He punctuates the bully’s threats and warnings with a series of rapid-fire belly-laughs, thus making the two of them the scourge of the neighborhood whenever they appear. But, like most of their ilk, when the two are finally challenged and bested, they turn out to be the biggest cowards of all.
A classmate.
