In the show, Rock lends his voice to the adult version of Chris, sharing stories based on his own childhood experiences as an outcast in a big, working-class family in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood during the late 1980s. Crews returns as Julius, Chris’ dad, a kind and hardworking giant who’s frugal due to his humble beginnings. He works multiple jobs to support the family and is always mindful of the value of a dollar. Arnold reprises her role as Rochelle, Chris’ mom, a smart, determined, and caring person who also has a fiery temper, especially when it comes to her children. She has high standards and doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind, often quitting jobs when they don’t meet her expectations.
