Lil Rel Howery Has Quietly Become A Family-Friendly Star

Though having first risen to stardom with the NBC sitcom The Carmichael Show and Jordan Peele's breakout horror movie Get Out, Howery has quietly been building an expansive resume with a number of family-friendly projects. In addition to PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, the comedian has leant his voice to Disney Channel's Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure, Prime Video's The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Cartoon Network's Craig of the Creek. His voice work has also been prominent on the big screen with The Angry Birds Movie 2, Tom & Jerry: The Movie and Apple TV+'s Luck.

One of the more notable was that of his turn as Buddy in the Ryan Reynolds-led comedy Free Guy. Though it could be argued the movie was made for a more adult audience considering its lead star, the humor was largely praised for its more innocent approach to its PG-13 rating, with Buddy and Guy being two of the biggest figures to stay on the lighter side of things even as the stakes rose for their characters and video game world.

Howery's family-friendly work isn't stopping with PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie either. This year will see him reunite with the sequel's studio Paramount for the long-awaited Good Burger 2, as well as the Disney+ comedy Dashing Through the Snow as a twist on Santa Claus, and Sony's live-action adaptation of Harold and the Purple Crayon set for an August 2024 release. Though still part of more adult-oriented fare, namely the recent Hulu sci-fi thriller The Mill, it is exciting for fans of Howery to see him continue to spread his wings across so many genres.
