Actor and author Melanie Chartoff has revealed she won't be reprising her iconic role of Didi Pickles in Nickelodeon's upcoming CG-animated Rugrats reboot - at least not for the first season.
In a interview with CTPost, Chartoff, 72, revealed that, as the new episodes will focus more on the babies with less attention on the parents, she hasn’t yet been asked to reprise her role, but hopes she can be a part of it in the future.
However, with Rugrats making a CGI comeback later this year, Chartoff, who voiced the red-haired mother of Tommy Pickles (whose voice she modeled after her own mother) and other characters for nine seasons, four movies and various spin-offs, has nothing but praise the cartoon’s ability to cater to both adults and children — a reason why it’s remained iconic for so long.
“Now it’s so popular because new kids are discovering it," Chartoff said. "Their parents are re-discovering it. It’s ageless.
“It’s been a huge part of my life,” Chartoff said. “I got a good 30 years out of it.”
