Roger Rockmore

"I was never his friend."

- Roger's response after Kenan's request to forgive Kel for the accidents he suffered



Roger Rockmore is Kenan and Kyra's father. Roger is a very tall, stern intimidating man with a big bald head, with a deep bass like voice. He works at O'Hare Airport as an air traffic controller, and is the only Rockmore who doesn't seem to like Kel. This is mostly due to the fact that Kel often makes a sarcastic remark about Roger's baldness and short-tempered attitude and tends to injure him and damage the Rockmore house during his visits. He usually tolerates Kel's presence, due to his friendship with Kenan, but he has been prone to get mad with Kel when he goes too far in his stupid actions. In the episode, Get the Kel Out of Here, Roger bans Kel for good from his house after Kel almost killed him, refusing to listen or forgive him (In the finale of the same episode, Kenan added that the only reason that Roger allows Kel to come back to his house is because he jumped out of the bedroom window, hit a tree with force, and forgot all that happened). Though he is a caring father, Roger has little to no patience with Kenan's schemes and punished his oldest child multiple times as a result of his troublemaking. In addition, Roger usually ends up having to pay for Kenan and Kel's mishaps, such as fixing the Crams' house or repairing the glass display at the jewelry store. He hates spending money and is also short-tempered, especially with Kenan's schemes and Kel's accidents. He's also been shown to be a sore-loser because he hardly ever wins any games.
