Find sources: "List of Diary of a Wimpy Kid characters"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( May 2022) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) Fregley Allen (known as Fregly in the online book) is Greg's acquaintance and neighbor noted for his many odd or disgusting eccentricities. He has been known to perplex others with his behavior (for example, exclaiming "Juice! Juice!" when he needs to use the bathroom) and does not have any known friends. Greg has been forced to hang around with Fregley on several occasions, to his chagrin or aggravation. It has been mentioned that Fregley is prohibited from eating sugar by his parents, and the consumption of it in large quantities will send him into hysterical, uncontrollable frenzies. This occurs in the first book when he eats Greg's jelly beans. In the film series, Mr. Jefferson is portrayed by Alfred E. Humphreys. He appears in the first three live-action films while making a cameo in the 2021 animated film. Notably, he does not speak in these adaptations, with the exception of Dog Days.

Although his family is vaguely referenced in the books, the Warrens (known as the Swanns in the online book) are what got Frank thinking of making Greg more manly. In the books, Mr. Warren is Frank's boss. Frank is deeply jealous of the Warrens. In stark contrast to Greg and his brothers, the Warrens' children are shown to be athletic and sporty. In the third film, Stan, the father of the family, is shown to be a neighbor of the Heffleys. He had a minor childhood rivalry with Frank, that they appear to have gotten over as adults. In the movie, Mr. Warren is the troop master of the Wilderness Explorers and invites everyone over for an Independence Day party. They only appear in The Last Straw. In the film adaptation of The Long Haul, Stan was replaced as Frank’s boss by a woman named Julie, who makes a brief voice cameo in the film when it is revealed that Frank forgot to ask Julie for time off from work, which results in Julie calling Frank on his phone. Since Stan has not appeared in any of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books since The Last Straw, it is implied that he retired or quit, which is why Frank now has a different boss. However, Julie has not appeared in any of the books. After Greg inadvertently causes the Snella family to move away due to a foul smell which (unknown to the Snellas) was caused by Greg dumping deviled eggs into a plastic plant, he decides that he should find a way of sneaking deviled eggs into Fregley's house.

Rowley, on the other hand, is not very bright and often does silly things that end up getting Greg in trouble. Despite this, he has a caring but naive personality and always wishes the best for everyone. He can also be quite immature, sleeping with his stuffed toys and prioritizing his Dinoblazer Action Figures over other activities like writing his comic, Zoo-Wee Mama! for the school paper. He also has a fondness for a children's singer named Joshie, which his parents find childish. He even thinks that "volleyball" is actually "bolleyball."

Robert B. Capron Jr. (born July 9, 1998) [4] is an American actor. He is best known for starring as Rowley Jefferson, Greg Heffley's best friend, in the first three installments of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid film series. More recently, Capron is known for starring as Mason in the drama series Elementary, and as David Lewan in the film The Polka King. The character appears in the online book wherein he is renamed as Darnell Washington and his manner of starting the Cheese Touch is that of him tripping over and accidentally touching the cheese. It is never revealed what country Rowley went to on his trip to South America in the book series, but the online book states that he went to Brazil for his trip to South America. It is said in the first film that Rowley went to Guatemala. Their most recent appearance was in The Ugly Truth when they move to another house because of a strange smell they cannot get rid of in their home following another half-birthday party for an unnamed child. The smell was caused by deviled eggs which Greg covertly threw into one of their plant pots when he was having dinner at their house; he had taken a dislike to the Snellas' deviled eggs, despite having had deviled eggs before. Despite trying to find the cause of the smell, after eliminating possible causes including a dirty carpet and a dead animal in a wall cavity, the Snellas cannot cope with the smell and eventually decide to move. Greg feels guilty when he sees that they are taking the plant pot with the deviled eggs with them, but he resolves to try to find a way to sneak deviled eggs into Fregley's house.Franklin Wayne "Frank" Heffley Jr. is depicted to be Greg's overreactive but well-meaning father. He is about 42 years old and is interested in U.S. history, with his replica of a Civil War battlefield serving as a recurring plot point in the series. [2] In the books, Frank despises Rowley, [2] and does not appreciate Greg's skill at video games. He is also shown to loathe heavy metal [1] and adolescents. [3] Frank tries to toughen Greg up and threatens to send him to a military academy in The Last Straw, although ultimately this does not come to fruition, much to Greg's relief. [3] However, Greg and Frank grow together in Dog Days, despite a brief period when Frank does not speak to Greg after almost getting arrested and going to jail.
