** 17-year old Adam Lamberg as Gordo; because he hit puberty late, he is actually able to pass as a 12-year old pretty convincingly in the pilot, and he managed to remain shorter than Lizzie and Miranda all the way through to the end.

* NamesTheSame: Gordo is safe. He doesn't [[Franchise/{{Kirby}} have spikes all around his head]].
