Robbie was portrayed by Matt Bennett.
Rex Powers[]
Rex Powers is Robbie's alter ego, who is a dummy that Robbie carries around everywhere. Robbie has had Rex since he was young. Since Robbie is too shy to speak for himself most of the time, he talks as Rex, using him to voice his actual feelings and thoughts. The others treat Rex as a real person, and both Robbie and Rex dislike it when Rex is called a "dummy" or "puppet". Rex is obsessed with "Northridge Girls", dumb, talentless and 'easy' girls from a Los Angeles neighborhood.
Rex was puppeteered by Matt Bennett and voiced by an uncredited Jake Farrow.
Jade West[]
A sarcastic goth girl. She and Tori were adversaries at the beginning of the series, but their rivalry has decreased through the series and Jade has occasionally asked Tori for help. Although she has a caustic personality, Jade is hard working, talented, and popular, but she can be somewhat of a masochist, implying in several episodes that she likes pain. She was Beck's girlfriend for three years, but it could now be considered longer. She wears a lot of black clothing. Jade is seen to get jealous easily.

Cat Valentine[]
A sensitive drama queen. She tends to overreact and is extremely emotional, but becomes close friends with Tori, André, Beck, Trina, and Robbie. She is a brunette but dyes her hair to a red velvet cupcake color. She is seen as eccentric and random. A running gag about Cat is that she gets easily offended by people even when they are not trying to be nasty. Its usually results with her saying, "What's that supposed to mean?!" Her favorite foods are cupcakes, candy, noodles, and potatoes. In the episode "The Birthweek Song", Cat admits that she has psychological problems. She is always talking about her weird brother and the strange situations he gets into.

Beck is also nice, sweet, and always friendly to everybody, including those that he doesn't know so well. He lives in a trailer that is parked in his parents' driveway so he can live by his own rules. It is said in Tori Goes Platinum that he has developed feelings for Tori but is rejected because Tori doesn't want to hurt Jade's feelings.

Trina Vega[]
Trina is Tori's obnoxious older sister. Although she is likable and have good intentions, she is a diva and believes everything is always about herself. She truly believes stardom is her destiny. Unfortunately, while she behaves like an diva, her performance level is of a significantly lower grade. Not a lot of people really like her because of her diva ways.

Recurring Characters[]
Sinjin Van Cleef[]
Sinjin is a dorky and somewhat creepy boy at Hollywood Arts. He has a crush on Jade, but she can't stand him.

He is also the first non-major character so far to have a profile on TheSlap.com. His name is a portmanteau of Sen'jin and Edwin Van Cleef, both characters from the popular online game "World of Warcraft".
Erwin Sikowitz[]
Sikowitz is the school's barefoot acting teacher. He has strange methods of teaching. Tori (and possibly everyone else) believes he is crazy. He also loves drinking coconut milk because it gives him "visions." Despite being eccentric, he is caring, smart, and has a lot of wisdom.
David and Holly Vega[]
David and Holly are Tori and Trina's parents. They have been seen in the episodes Pilot and The Birthweek Song. Although Holly has been featured in more episodes than David, she was recently seen in the episode Robarrazzi. They are depicted as typical parents from a teenager's point of view: caring parents that look after their kids, but can be embarrassments sometimes. In "Pilot" & "The Birthweek Song," Tori revealed that her father is a cop.
Lane Alexander[]
Lane is the school guidance counselor. Lane is a good guidance counselor, and often helps students with their problems and resolves their arguments, but sometimes can be reluctant at times, asking students "Why Me?".
