Andre Rock represents his family name on the highways of the United States with his work and is one of Chris Rock's siblings. He has six siblings, including an older half-brother who died tragically.
There will never be a comedy special by Andre Rock, though his humor shines through in the many "dad memes" he shares online. He keeps a low profile while supporting his famous siblings, not shying away from sharing snaps from old family albums.
The Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, resident is a huge sports fan, often posting images of boxers, football, and basketball games. He is rarely seen out and about with his famous big brother.
Andre Rock Is the One Who Did Not Follow in His Famous Brother's Footsteps
On April 16, 1967, Andre became the second-born son of Julius and Rose Rock. His trucking company was named after his later father, Julius Rock Trucking Inc. The business is based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Dre, as he is known to his siblings, was raised in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn. He shares a birthday with his brother Kenny, born on his 12th birthday in 1979. He was very close to his father, who passed away in 1988.
In 2022, he shared how much he missed Julius through two memes; the first is of a phone indicating a call from "dad" overlaid with the text "I wish to see this call," and the other said "Father & son, true best friends for life."

Tony and Jordan Rock Followed in Chris Rock's Footsteps and Are Stand-up Comedians Too
The Rocks have everything in place to build a comedy empire like the Wayans. Born in 1974, Tony Rock got an education in standup alongside the "Chris Rock: Never Scared" star by listening to comedy records of icons like Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor.
He challenged the "I Am Legend" star to a boxing match.
The comedian revealed that being in the same field as Chris means he can never have an off night on stage. He guest starred in the show Chris created, "Everybody Hates Chris." He was also on sitcoms like "Living Biblically" and "All of Us."
Will Smith mentioned Tony by name in his apology to the Rock family after slapping Chris at the 2022 Academy Awards. Responding to fans on Twitter, Andre revealed his disgust about the incident and was unconvinced by Smith's apology.
Tony labels his younger brother Jordan Rock the hipster of the family and his favorite comedian. Jordan grew up in South Carolina and dropped out of high school to move to Brooklyn to pursue comedy and be closer to his brothers.
Jordan, born in 1991, opens his comedy sets with the disclaimer that he is Chris Rock's brother, but he is the Solange of the family. He was in the second season of HBO's "Love Life" anthology and the comedy feature "Big Time Adolescence."
Other 4 Chris Rock Siblings
Kenny Rock is an entrepreneur and actor in films such as "Coincidental Killer" and "Vesuvius." He believes Smith belittled Chris at the 2022 Oscars. He challenged the "I Am Legend" star to a boxing match, demonstrating his intent by signing an open contract with a promoter.
Andre has shared a photo with Chris, Brian, and Tony of what looks like Brian's college graduation. Brian Rock, who is even more low-key than Dre, is believed to be a church minister.
Andi Rock grew up as the sole daughter in a household bursting at the seams with sons. She is a therapist who works with autistic children based in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
Charles Ledell Rock, born in 1953, is their half-brother on their father's side. A newspaper reported that Charles died at 52 in February 2006 while living in a homeless shelter. He struggled with substance abuse for most of his life and was in and out of prison.
