[edit] Main characters
[edit] Kenan Rockmore (Kenan Thompson)
If you listen to his boss, Kenan Rockmore is the most mischievous kid in the world. But he's actually just the kind of kid who comes up with crazy ideas...and never comes down from them! Kenan is the brightest kid in his class, but he never seems to get his homework done on time. Why? Probably because he spends most of his time planning something big... like turning the local grocery store into a nightclub, or convincing everyone that Kel has ESP. Give him a chance, and he'll run the country. Give him a job, and he'll run you out of business!
[edit] Kel Kimble (Kel Mitchell)
Kenan is proud to call Kel his best friend. And why not? Anyone who helps Kenan climb all the stairs to the top of Chicago's Sears Tower deserves to be called a best friend. Kel might resist Kenan's loony schemes at first, but deep down they share the same dreams. Kel's just a teenager doing things his own peculiar way, but when he's with Kenan, things tend to go wrong. And since they're always together, everything seems to go wrong!
[edit] Chris Potter (Dan Frischman)
Chris is Kenan's boss and the owner of the local grocery store, Rigby's. He lives with his mom (or the other way around) and has frequent nightmares of being chased by a giant rabbit, as well as a phobia of sandwiches. While Kenan and Kel may have some similar interests as Chris, Chris' main causes of trouble are the two of them. He has also read all of Ernest Hemingway's books.
[edit] Kyra Rockmore (Vanessa Baden)
Kyra is Kenan's younger sister. Kyra's biggest mission is telling on her brother Kenan, but she has devoted herself to Kel, having a massive crush on him. For most of seasons three and four, Kyra did not appear, even in scenes showing the whole family; she did, however, appear in the series' finale and the TV movie. She often interrupts Kenan by saying "I was talking to Kel!"
[edit] Roger Rockmore (Ken Foree)
Roger is Kenan and Kyra's father. He works at the local airport as an air traffic controller, and is the only Rockmore who doesn't like Kel. This is mostly due to the fact that Kel often makes a sarcastic remark about Roger's baldness and tends to damage the Rockmore house during his visits. He is also short-tempered, and will punish Kenan if needed.
[edit] Sheryl Rockmore (Teal Marchande)
Sheryl is Kenan and Kyra's mother. Sheryl is kind and always seems to know what schemes Kenan and Kel are up to. She is also much more patient with Kel than her husband. Sheryl is much more of a listener than a punisher; she'd rather talk out problems with Kenan than punish him, though she has demonstrated her anger in several episodes.
[edit] Recurring characters
[edit] Sharla Morrison (Alexis Fields)
Sharla was introduced as a new employee at Rigby's at the start of season three. In the show, Chris hired her because he felt Kenan needed more help around the store. While there, Sharla started to develop a crush on Kenan, and he developed a crush on her. However, they only both realized it during a prom at their high school.
[edit] Marc Cram (Biagio Messina)
Marc was introduced in season three as a new neighbor of Kenan. He was an avid collector of watches, and excelled at spelling, at times during conversation never mentioning a word by its name, but spelling it out (one such line is, "It looks G-R-E-A-T!"). His name is also a palindrome.
[edit] Mrs. Quagmire (Doreen Weese)
Mrs. Ethel Quagmire was introduced in season one as an elderly customer at Rigby's. The character provided some light relief to the show during serious events, and has also "beaten up" Chris Potter on several occasions. In a season one episode, Chris Potter thought that Quagmire stole a tin of peanuts; following this, she "sucker-punched" him and called him a "Weasel". In the season two episode The Lottery, she entered the store hoping to purchase a lottery ticket, but Potter said the store was closing. She then held him against the door, again calling him a "Weasel". The character disappeared in season three with no explanation.
[edit] Principal Dimley (Hersha Parady)
Principal Dimley appeared in three episodes, notably in seasons 2 and 3. In the first episode she appeared in she caught Kel cutting class. The next episode she appeared in she called Kenan and his parents to her office to discuss his school work. Kenan thought that he was doing poorly so he hired actors to pose as his parents and when they found out from Dimley that he was actually doing quite well, she was invited to Kenan's house. In season three, Kenan drew a funny picture of her which says "Principal Dimwit" which ultimately got him in trouble when Kel accidentally revealed it to her.
[edit] Janet (Catherine Mangan)
Janet is a highly intelligent student who is also Kenan and Kel's classmate. Janet dislikes Kenan and Kel and has a tendency to rub her accomplishments in Kenan's face. A recurring joke in episodes featuring Janet is whenever she insults Kenan for doing something he is not supposed, Kenan tends to mock her with a phrase like, "Oh, I'm Janet and I can only concentrate in a world full of silence!" For example, when Kenan was caught with a video game in class, Janet said, "Ms. Kaso, he's not supposed to have that in class!" To which Kenan responded, "And you're not supposed to have that big old pimple on your forehead, but look at you!"
[edit] Minor Characters
[edit] Brianna
Brianna was a girl that Kenan had a crush on during season one. She first appeared in the episode Doing Things The Hemingway, where Kenan hung a banner declaring his love for her. She later appeared in Mo' Sweater Blues, where Kel accidentally ruined her special sweater while Kenan Was on a date with her.
[edit] Miss Horn
Miss Horn was a substitute teacher (and later principal) at Kenan & Kel's high-school. She appeared in 2 episodes, the first one being the season 2 episode The Crush, where Kel thought she had a crush on Kenan. She later reappeared in the Season 4 episode The Graduates as the principal of Capone High, where she banned Kenan from the graduation ceremony after a senior prank went wrong
[edit] Eric
Eric is Kenan's cousin. He was first introduced in the season 4 episode, The Honeymoons Over, where Kenan went to his house to get some privacy away from his parents. He later appeared in the episode Girl Watchers, where Kenan & Kel were supposed to pick up his girlfriend from the air port. However, they ended up picking up the wrong girl.
