Characters[]

Main characters

  • Ezekiel "Zeke" Falcone (Hutch Dano): Zeke was born in Japan, as revealed in the episode "Head of Skate". His birthday is on April 7th as mentioned in "Not My Sister's Keeper". He is the smarter of the two, but still he is a C- student and only got an A+ once in the episode, "Board in Class". His biggest weakness is his crush on Olivia Masterson, his next door neighbor - however, later on in the series he does not care for girls and thinks that the only "perfect girl" is his skateboard, as he states in the episode "Double Crush." His last name is revealed to be Falcone in the episode "The Bro List". He has a cousin named Mia whom Luther despises for taking the mascot position in the 7th grade. Zeke's best friend is Luther Waffles.
  • Luther Jerome Waffles (Adam Hicks): Luther was born in Don's Donuts, as revealed in the episode "Head of Skate". His birthday is on February 29th as mentioned in the episode "Luther Turns 4". He is a cup stacking champion and also an excessive gamer. At times he can be a bit of an airhead. He adopted a rat that "Jumpsuit" Johnson captured, and named it Lucky. Lucky is both his pet and good luck charm. Luther is also a C- student in class but in the episode "Summer School", Luther gets an A+ by filling in the circles on his ScanTron test sheet in such a way that it resembles a T-Rex. Luther's best friend is Zeke Falcone. He was also skinned alive in Fred: The Movie (2010).
  • Kornelius "Kojo" Jonesworth (Daniel Curtis Lee): Mainly an antagonist throughout season 1. His relationship with Zeke and Luther varies as he's shown to be their rival for the reputation of a best skater in town - in the beginning of the series he disliked Zeke and Luther equally and referred to them as losers but later on they seemingly work it out. He is full of himself to the point of him having his own calendar. He is sponsored by "Dastardly Skate". Kojo also calls his girlfriends "female ladies". It is revealed in the episode "Luck Be a Rodent Tonight" Kojo's mother's name is Nancy. He also thinks he is a better skater than both Zeke and Luther. When something goes well for him he will usually say "Watch out!" and then attempt to slap his buttocks. Kojo had a crush on Zeke's cousin Mia. However, since Mia only stayed in Gilroy for a few days. He dated an extremely tall (yet pleasant and helpful) blonde model in the episode "Daredevils". As revealed in the episode "Crash and Learn", Kojo is a big fan of turkey jerky.
  • Ginger Falcone (Ryan Newman): In the episode "Bros Go Pro", she uses Zeke and Luther to make money. She's smart and constantly looks for ways to torture Zeke like telling Olivia he likes her and ratting Zeke and Luther out when they hid in "Bros Go Pro". She frequently runs different stands such as a falafel stand in the pilot episode and a lemonade stand in the episode "Bros Go Pro". She stresses personal hygiene and having a clean and sanitary surrounding as seen in the episode "Robo-Luth". She's also an accomplished flutist and can tumble as shown in the episode "Skate Camp".

In the episode "Luther Unleashed" he became the grade A skater of Gilroy.
  • Donald "Don" Donaldson (David Ury): Owner and proprietor of Don's Donuts, Zeke and Luther's favorite hangout. In the episode "Luther Leads", Luther called him a donuthead because he finally realized that Don is the only one that works at Don's Donuts and that he's always the employee of the month because he's the only one who works there. In season 2 he remodels his shop and hires more workers.
  • Dorothy "Nana" Waffles (Marianne Muellerleine): Nana lives in the Crusty Arms apartment complex with her husband Carl. She often inspires Luther because he does not want to disappoint her loft view of him, and the boys often come to her aid when she's in trouble.

  • Reginald "Jumpsuit" Johnson (Lawrence Mandley): Zeke and Luther's cranky ex-astronaut neighbor who commonly throws old space stuff in the trash and has a gravity simulator in his garage. His nickname is because of the fact that he wears a jumpsuit every day. He once called Luther a menace but made no comment about Zeke. However, it is more probable he despises Zeke more than Luther.
  • Dale Davis (Ron Fassler): A local television news reporter always on the scene of a big event.
  • Poochie Mcgruder (Lily Jackson) (seasons 1-2): Ginger's friend who helps her to prank Zeke. She is weird, likes clapping at anything Ginger says or does, and her catchphrase is "Yay!".
  • Olivia Masterson (Juliet Holland-Rose) (season 1): Formerly the olive girl for the "Langley Olives" company, she was once Zeke's next door neighbor and crush. She tried designing him a skater look in the episode "Cape Fear" but only for it to fail, mainly to a large cape that became a safety hazard. it is noted that she has a crush on Zeke. She did not know if he liked her until he liked her in the episode "Adventure Boy". She is said to like brave guys.
  • Garrett "Stinky Cast" Delfino (Andy Pessoa) (seasons 1-2): A local boy who constantly wears the same sleeveless white shirts, jean shorts and an arm cast. He's Zeke and Luther's camera guy. He has the hugest crush on Ginger which Zeke uses as leverage for Stinky Cast's videos. He had his cast removed in the episode "The Big Red Stacking Machine" which he was upset about due to losing his trademark. He then proceeded to try to injure himself to get a new cast and succeeded, thus restoring his name.
  • Kirby Cheddar (David Gore) (seasons 1-2): He lives near Zeke and Luther. He plays the airdrums and the trombone. His father is Dr. Ricardo and his mother is very overprotective.

  • Roy Waffles (Davis Cleveland) (seasons 2-3): Luther's younger and rarely mentioned brother.
