PERFORMER | Frankie Cordero |
DEBUT | 2017 |
Rudy, a three-year-old orange monster, is Abby Cadabby's stepbrother on Sesame Street. He was first introduced in Episode 4731, and was also prominently featured in the following three episodes in Season 47. Rudy has a habit of borrowing his stepsister's magic wand and trying his own faulty spells.
He is the son of Freddy and stepson of Abby's mom, Maggie Cadabby. His birthday is June 1.[1] As revealed in Episode 5025 and on the Sesame Workshop website, Rudy is bilingual, having learned some Spanish from his mom.
In season 49, he became the co-star of the new recurring animated segment, "Abby's Amazing Adventures."
Cordero claims to base his performance of the character after his younger self, his two nieces and one of his cats.[2]
