regina king
huey freeman (voiced by regina king) is a young, leftist, black radical revolutionary and retired domestic terrorist. he is a near master practitioner of chinese martial arts, as seen in the episodes "let's nab oprah", "attack of the killer kung fu wolf bitch", "stinkmeaner 3: the hateocracy", and "...or die trying". he maintains an austere, yet strangely loving relationship with his brother riley, and occasionally goes out of his way to prevent his brother from succumbing to bad influences (giving some "tough love"). over the course of the comic strip and television series, huey consistently maintains a sober demeanor. during most episodes, huey is the narrator, and it is often only through his narration that he reveals his thoughts and emotions. in the comic strip, huey's best friend is michael caesar, who effectively counters huey's pessimistic world outlook with his upbeat personality and temperament. in the television series, this role is played by huey's neighbor jazmine dubois, who balances huey's character with her childlike, naive innocence, often causing huey to have to resolve a situation where she is being taken advantage of. huey also can speak perfect mandarin chinese as shown in "the big red ball", though how he knows this is never explained.
list of the boondocks characters
the freeman family in "the boondocks" series is portrayed as an all-male, african-american trio, each having very different personalities. the main protagonist and narrator is huey, who possesses the cognitive functions of a child genius. his brother, riley freeman, is more practical, streetwise, and outspoken. the brothers rarely get along, except for example in the episode "guess hoe's coming to dinner", where huey and riley work together to find out the truth about the character, cristal. for the most part, huey and riley behave like polar opposites, and many stories revolve around their feeling embarrassed by the other's actions. the third member of the freeman family is robert, the "grandad" to huey and riley. robert cannot remember his own age, yet he never dates women of his own generation.
