Where Are They Now? The Cast of “A Different World”

Cree Summer

Though she came later, Cree Summer’s Freddie Brooks was by far one of the most interesting and drama-filled characters on the show. From losing her virginity to Ron, to dating fine a** Shazza Zulu, she had the most compelling relationship drama, and she was just very funny. And that great personality also reaches Cree Summer in real life as her personality comes through all the characters she has been a voice actor (actress?) for, both before and after A Different World. She’s been on everything from Inspector Gadget, and Garbage Pail Kids, to Tiny Toon Adventures. Since A Different World went off the air, she showed up in many shows, and a few movies (she just finished a film called, Strange Frame: Love & Sax), but has mostly stuck with voice work. And she sings if you were wondering. As much as she’ll always be Freddie, Cree Summer will equally be known as Susie Carmichael on Rugrats.
