Thomas "Tommy" Malcolm Pickles is the main character from the Nickelodeon animated television series' Rugrats and its spinoff All Grown Up!. Tommy is among the series' original characters, if not its central character.
In the two Rugrats pilot episodes, Tommy was voiced by Tami Holbrook. In the TV series, the character has been voiced by E.G. Daily.
Tommy celebrates both Jewish and Christian holidays (Hanukkah and Christmas for example), which is due to his father being Christian and his mother being Jewish.

[edit] Rugrats
[edit] Appearance
Tommy's distinct features in Rugrats are a skin covered head with a few strands of hair and stubble, a sky blue shirt, a diaper, bow-legs, and pigeon-toed feet. Tommy wears a white diaper with yellow straps (which sometimes falls from his waist, nearly showing his front private). Inside his diaper is a screwdriver collection, which he uses to get himself and his friends out of the play pen. He was the youngest character (although not much younger than Phil and Lil) until his younger brother Dil was born; despite that, he had a reputation for being the "bravest" baby, and would take the others along on adventures to wherever his imagination took him. These adventures of his usually involved stopping some sort of evil monster. He also stood up to his evil-minded cousin Angelica Pickles. He appeared in the most episodes of any character.

[edit] Personality
Similar to Susie's talent for singing, Tommy also has a newfound talent: making films with his camcorder. A few episodes have been made around this fact: "Truth or Consequences" (first US tx: November 30, 2003), which also revealed he made his first film at the age of 37 months, had him making a negative film about his friends; the main storyline of "Brother, Can You Spare The Time?" (first US tx: January 17, 2004) opened with him mentioning recently winning a young filmmaker's award; and one storyline in "Bad Aptitude" (first US tx: June 4, 2004) was about Tommy's sudden early retirement from filmmaking after making a flop and receiving an unfavorable (for his filmmaking aspirations) result on his career aptitude exam. However, he has not been seen with his camcorder since "The Big Score" (first US tx: April 25, 2005), when he was filming Lil at the soccer field.
As he's grown up, he's not as perfect as he used to be on Rugrats. In "Thief Encounter" (first US tx: December 6, 2003), he was discovered to be stealing goods from around the neighborhood, but that was because he was sleep walking; in "River Rats" (first US tx: December 13, 2003), he was shown to be afraid of water, stemming from an experience during a fishing outing with his grandpa; in "Dude, Where's My Horse?" (first US tx: July 16, 2005), he was the worst cowboy out of the regulars.
Up until early Season 2, Tommy was also either shown or mentioned as being part of the school soccer team, even trying to teach Dil how to play ("Fools Rush In", first US tx: June 5, 2004). Lately (more specifically since "The Big Score"), however, all the focus on soccer has involved only Phil and Lil DeVille. Also it is said that he may have feelings for his friend Kimi Finster and so does she in "TP + KF".
[edit] Appearance
Tommy now has purple hair like his father. He still keeps his screwdriver he had as a baby in his pocket. More recently, he had a keychain with a screwdriver on it.
Tommy has gained a bit of weight somewhere between Season 1 and Season 2. Francine even pokes fun at Tommy in "Fools Rush In" about this, referring to him as "Porky Pickles".
