Chuckie Rugrats – Meet the little redhead – Charles “Chuckie” Crandall Finster Jr. (III), Tommy Pickles’ best friend from Rugrats.
Charles “Chuckie” Crandall Finster Jr. (III) is Tommy Pickles’ best friend from Rugrats and All Grown Up! He was originally voiced by the late Christine Cavanaugh until her retirement in 2001 and then death from pneumonia in 2014, after which Nancy Cartwright took over the role (though Candi Milo voiced Chuckie in at least two video games). He is the second oldest out of the original five Rugrats, at two years old.
Chuckie is distinguished from the others by his irrational fear of particular objects, most notably the guy on the oatmeal box and clowns. He is also the only Rugrat who is left-handed or south-pawed and the only one who has spoken an intelligible word to adults during the series (he said “No” during Rugrats in Paris: The Movie and would say it to them many times afterward). Chuckie’s appearance comes from Rugrats music supervisor and former Devo frontman Mark Mothersbaugh.
