Robbie Shapiro (Victorious; Sam & Cat)

Robert "Robbie" Shapiro is one of the eight main characters on Victorious. He is a ventriloquist who almost always carries his best friend Rex with him. Robbie is shy, awkward, and a little weird, but he's also a good friend, loyal, honest, and smart. He is a student at Hollywood Arts High School who often gets into minor trouble.

He is portrayed by Matt Bennett.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Despite being portrayed as a Jewish and Nerdy stereotype, he is one of the most likable characters on Victorious.
 * 2) His obsession with Cat, while creepy, has got us laughing.
 * 3) He returned in the Sam & Cat episode, The Killer Tuna Jump along with Jade and Freddie.
 * 4) He's a great singer.
 * 5) Matt Bennett portrays him good.
 * 6) "" No! I'm not Andy Samberg!"
 * 7) He's a pretty talented ventriloquist. Because in Season 1, when he has his puppet, Rex, talk, it actually seemed like he was talking by command. But starting in Season 2, Robbie can be seen moving his mouth slightly for Rex to talk. But it can be unnoticeable.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) As mentioned above, his obsession with Cat can be creepy.

Trivia

 * Robbie is the only main character who wears glasses all the time.
 * Robbie seems to be unable to admit/realize Rex is a puppet for reasons that are yet to be known.
 * Early scripts for the pilot name him "Lane". Eventually, the school guidance counselor gained the name.
 * Robbie could be a fan of SpongeBob SquarePants, because in Tori Gets Stuck, he wears SpongeBob underwear.
