YouTube's newest star is Fred Figglehorn, a lonely, speedy-voiced 6-year-old with anger-management issues. Fred is played by 15-year-old Lucas Cruikshank, a high school freshman from Nebraska whose web-based comedy series recently earned the distinction of being YouTube's Most Subscribed Channel of all time, with more than 650,000 viewers signed up. Cruikshank created his Fred character two years ago as a way to parody video bloggers who create self-important videos about their lives. "I just wanted to make a video for Halloween, so I created Fred and sped up the voice," Cruikshank tells People. He often looks to the youngest of his seven siblings for inspiration.
