Fred Figglehorn (stylized on webpage and on T-shirts as FЯED) is a fictional character created and portrayed by American actor Lucas Cruikshank. Fred is a six-year-old boy with a high-pitched voice, and has a dysfunctional home life and "anger management issues". Cruikshank, a teenager from Columbus, Nebraska created the Fred video series for his channel on the video-sharing website YouTube, to center on the Fred character. Although Cruikshank voices Fred, the audio is digitally altered to sound higher-pitched than Cruikshank's true voice.
