Fan CastingThe Boondocks (2005-2011) (AU)

When Robert 'Granddad' Freeman relocates his family from Chicago's tough streets to the suburban calm of Woodcrest, he hopes for a peaceful life with his grandsons, Huey and Riley. However, their strong personalities soon shake up the seemingly idyllic community. Huey, a sharp revolutionary thinker, and Riley, a mischievous, street-smart troublemaker, create a dynamic filled with both conflict and camaraderie. The mix becomes even more intriguing with Elias Freeman, Granddad’s adopted son, a reserved and complex teenager navigating a turbulent past. Straddling the ideological divide between Huey’s activism and Riley’s rebelliousness, Elias often plays mediator—or instigator—in the family's constant clashes. Through sharp satire and heartfelt narratives, *The Boondocks* dives into pressing social and cultural topics such as systemic inequality and identity. Elias brings a fresh emotional lens that deepens the series' humor and drama, as he works to find his place in a lively, unapologetic household. Together, the Freemans challenge societal norms, question authority, and transform life in Woodcrest into anything but ordinary.
