16->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RossLynch
17
18* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:It is revealed in the series finale that him and Ally end up having a son and a daughter together.]]
19* BadLiar: Just behind Dez as the 2nd worst at lying.
20* BigEater: Not to the extent of Dez, but whenever Dez has a wacky food moment, he immediately joins in. He is also very easily swayed with food.
21* BorrowedCatchphrase: In "Tunes & Trials", Ally gives Austin a songbook to help him write his first song. When she reaches for it to show him something, he says "Don't touch my book."
22* BunnyEarsLawyer: Austin can be too laid back, but yet can sing and play a variety of instruments, and can be a good mentor.
23* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Austin, although not to the extent Dez does. Austin usually goes along with whatever crazy idea Dez comes up with.
24* CutenessProximity: He loves animals, small children, and stuffed toys. He fawns over Ally's Dougie the Dolphin plushie, and is ecstatic when he wins a cute frog plushie at the arcade. His love for stuffed animals even becomes something of a RunningGag.
25* DumbBlonde: Downplayed. He's not as stupid as Dez, but can be very naive at times. Dez happens to make him the smart one by comparison.
26* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Monica.
27* EstablishingCharacterMoment: He runs into the store with Dez to play the drums with corn dogs.
28* EverythingIsAnInstrument: Austin is first shown [[EstablishingCharacterMoment playing the drums with corndogs]].
29%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine.
30* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Austin is seen twice wearing boxers with trucks on them.
31* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: He's sweet, a little naive and a genuinely NiceGuy.
32* HatesBeingAlone: When the 4th season starts, Austin doesn't take the news that Ally, Trish, and Dez aren't going to be with him in their senior year of high school. [[spoiler:However, they decide that their business can wait]].
33%%* TheHero
34* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Dez, they have been best friends forever since they were little.
35* HighSchoolSweethearts: [[spoiler: Double Subverted. They were revealed to have broken up for four years after high school when Austin realized what was supposed to be a break became longer and circumstances during that time kept driving them apart. At the end of it, they do reflect on it and decide to give their relationship one more chance, and they do end up married for almost a decade after]].
36* ItsAllAboutMe: All the time, even though he will figure out his mistake and right the wrong by the end of the episodes.
37* {{Keet}}: "I'm Austin, and I like [[TrademarkFavoriteFood pancakes]]!"
38* NiceGuy: Even if he screws up sometimes, he is nice to a fault. He's sweet, gentle and when he comes to understanding the feelings of others if he has hurt them, he will try his hardest to make up for it. Go look at the [[Heartwarming/AustinAndAlly Heartwarming page]] for examples.
39* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: He falls into this a couple of times:
40** In one episode, he borrows a guitar from the store to get it autographed by Music/BrunoMars for Ally, as a way of making up for the fact that he'd been late to rehearsal. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:he gets caught on the security camera in Sonic Boom, making people think that he's the person responsible for the string of thefts in the mall.]]
41** Another episode features him being grounded because his grades are slipping. He sneaks out of the house in order to keep his promise to Ally to perform at her fundraiser. As you might expect, his parents find out and force him to do nothing but come home and study as punishment.
42* ObliviouslyEvil: [[DownplayedTrope For a given value of "evil"]] in "Rockers & Writers". Stealing Ally's song was a pretty horrible thing to do, but in his defense, he didn't even realize he'd done it. He seriously believed the song was something he'd created. Even T-Fame even points this out to Austin, the former of whom ends up doing the same thing to him (though with full knowledge of what he was doing).
43* OfficialCouple: With Ally, as if that wasn't gonna be obvious.
44* OneHeadTaller: Austin is one head taller than Ally. The opening credits even show him bending down to meet her height.
45* PrettyBoy: According to many female fans.
46%%* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: Sometimes.
47* TeenIdol: Since he's a 15-year-old kid, this is how he starts out.
48* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pancakes.
49* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Has a crippling fear of umbrellas, after one got caught in his pants and [[ComedicUnderwearExposure ripped them off]]. [[spoiler: It goes away by the end of "Filmmaking & Fear Breaking" though.]]

52[[folder:Ally Dawson]]
53[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000001714_3.png]]
54->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LauraMarano
55
56The other central protagonist of the story, Ally is a nerdy, ShrinkingViolet singer-songwriter who tends to be the StraightMan to the constant shenanigans surrounding her. Ally is the brains behind ''Team Austin'', and is responsible for writing Austin's songs and taking care of the Sonic Boom music store owned by her father.
57
58* AmbiguouslyBi: Although Ally publicly dated only guys, while rest of the group were on tour she had really close relationship with Kira. It was implying that they've had a fling that time.
59* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:It is revealed in the series finale that her and Austin end up having a son and a daughter together.]]
60* BadLiar: While Dez is the worst and Austin is worse than her, Ally is still pretty terrible at lying.
61* BerserkButton: She really doesn't like when people touch her song book.
62* BrainyBrunette: Involved in book clubs, cloud watching clubs and wanted to learn calculus on her summer holiday. Also brainy in musical terms as she gives lessons in different instruments as well as being a great songwriter.
63* BunnyEarsLawyer: Ally is shy, neurotic and suffers from stage fright so badly she'll wreck a television studio to get away from the camera, but she writes amazing songs.
64* {{Catchphrase}}: "Don't touch my book!"
65* CharacterTics: Ally ''chews her hair'' when she's nervous.
66* ChildhoodFriends: With Trish.
67* CoolBigSis: Shows signs of being this to [[CheerfulChild Nelson]].
68* CreativeSterility: Ally when she's being pressured to write a song.
69* CuteBookworm: She's part of a book club, and she spends most of her time reading books.
70* CuteClumsyGirl: Because of her shyness, she once wrecked a television studio to get away from the camera
71* TheCutie: A cute and shy girl with a sweet personality.
72* DarkAndTroubledPast: She got nervous during her one chance to get into a music school and hallucinated the piano chomping at her. She got stage fright because of this.
73* DeadpanSnarker: Ally probably beats Trish out for the biggest snarker. Trish will often just get angry, thus losing the deadpan.
74* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite Ally being the central character, the show revolves around for the purposes of the plot and comedy, Ally is the Deuteragonist to Austin's attempts to become famous because she hangs back and write the songs for him. It will likely remain unless she decides to step out from the song-writing shadow and becomes a performer in her own right.
75* EmbarrassingMiddleName: It is finally revealed in the series finale that Ally's middle name is [[spoiler:Edgar]].
76* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Ally is introduced reading her book, then tells Trish not to eat in the store.
77* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Throughout Season 1, her hair was solid and dark, referring to her shyness and also to hint toward her stage fright. By the time Season 2 came around, her hair became brighter with blonde highlights, which hints she's coming out of her shell, and shows that she conquered her stage fright in "Chapters & Choices". When Season 3 came, her hair become paler but with brighter highlights, which shows her full progression to performing onstage once more.
78* FreudianExcuse: The reason she has stage fright is revealed in flashback in "Filmmaking & Fear Breaking" she was afraid of ruining her chance of getting into a music school (because of the strict headmaster) that she hallucinated the piano turning into a monster and the students laughing in return, and as a result, she ended up ruining her dream anyway. As a result, she refused to perform because she believed if she didn't perform, she wouldn't ruin her chances.
79* FirstGirlWins: She was the first girl Austin met in the series (and the first girl introduced in the series alltogether), and they end up becoming a couple for the rest of the show's run. By series' end, they're HappilyMarried with [[BabiesEverAfter two kids]].
80%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
81* GeekPhysiques: Ally is very short and skinny, but still manages to be somewhat lanky because of her long legs.
82* GeniusBookClub: Ally's part of one. It comes up in the plot as why it takes her so long to complete songs for Austin.
83* GrammarNazi: Being the smart girl of the group, Ally can dip into this every now and then. In ''Beauties & Bullies'', she responds to a mean comment by correcting whoever misspelled beauty as "beautey". It wasn't supposed to be a LameComeback, she just did it out of habit.
84* HappyDance: Ally has at least two endearing bursts of these in "Soups & Stars".
85* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Trish, they have always been best friends.
86* HumiliationConga: Ally suffers a condensed one when she accidentally destroys a television studio.
87* ICantDance: She hurts Austin's ankle when he tries to teach her to dance in "Club Owners & Quinceaneras".
88* TheIllegible: Ally's chicken-scratch leads to multiple misunderstandings in "Kangaroos & Chaos". Ally claims this is just due to being rushed, because she really went to [[BrainyBrunette calligraphy camp]]. Which if true would be an inversion.
89* JerkassBall: Ally, of all people, can be ''really'' bossy when she's not in ShrinkingViolet mode. She is SurroundedByIdiots though.
90* JustFriends: With Austin. [[spoiler:Not so much anymore, since in "Girlfriends & Girl Friends" she develops a crush on Austin.]]
91* TheLancer: As the foil to Austin and in some cases Trish by being TheSmartGirl to Austin's fun loving performer character, and to Trish's SpicyLatina character.
92* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The meek and innocent Light Feminine to Trish's snarky AttentionWhore Dark Feminine.
93* LikeParentLikeChild: Ally's mother is also a BrainyBrunette who "loves love" and uses her catchphrase "Don't touch my book!"
94* LoonyFriendsImproveYourPersonality: Ally is helped to become more open and extroverted by the three other characters.
95* MadLibsCatchphrase:
96-->'''Ally:''' There's no eating in X! - Once in "Rockers & Writers", four times in "Bloggers & Butterflies".\
97'''Ally:''' Don't touch my X! - Usually it is her book. In one case it became ''"Don't boop my nose."''
98* NiceGirl: While she has her flaws, Ally is mostly a really sweet, charming and kind-hearted person that it's very hard not to like and root for.
99* NoodleIncident: Whatever it was that caused Ally to develop terrible stage fright. Revealed to be because of [[spoiler:Ally freaking out during an audition for a prestigious music school, which caused a fear of rejection.]]
100* OfficialCouple: With Austin. Subverted at first, eventually played straight.
101* PerformanceAnxiety: Had a ''huge'' case of this in Season 1. She gets over it early on in Season 2.
102%%* SecretDiary: Her song book/diary.
103* ShrinkingViolet: Ally is this whenever she gets on stage. How bad is it? '''''She accidentally destroys an entire TV studio while trying to get away when Austin gets her on a live TV show'''''. Averted as of "Chapters & Choices" as she got over her fear.
104%%* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Trish's Tomboy
105* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Pickles.
106* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Ally clearly takes after her mom.
107* WaistcoatOfStyle: A major part of Ally's wardrobe.
108* WomanScorned: After she finds out that Austin read her book.
109* WomenAreWiser: Compared to Austin... Dez... Trish... her father... well pretty much every other member of the cast. Even her song writing is wiser and more soulful that Austin, who is more extroverted and fun loving when he involves himself in the song writing process. {{Deconstructed|Trope}} in that these traits sometimes get in the way rather than helping. (For example, in "Songwriting and Starfish", Ally's wisdom and soulfulness prove to be decidedly less effective at writing a "Hot Summer Jam" than Austin's fun loving personality.)
110* YoungAndInCharge: Ally's the head of the mall association at age fifteen.
111[[/folder]]
112
113[[folder:Patricia "Trish" Maria De la Rosa]]
114[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000001714_9.png]]
115->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RainiRodriguez
116
117Trish is a fashionista who becomes Austin's personal stylist and manager. She is also Ally's best friend since kindergarten.
118
119* AttentionWhore: She loves being in the spotlight.
120* BadJobWorseUniform: Approximately half of Trish's jobs. Her headbands seem to be deliberate. She could just be quirky.
121* BeneathTheMask: Trish purposely puts up a front of not caring about anything or anyone else's opinions of her in order to seem strong and not get hurt. In reality, she lacks motivation and feels inadequate for just about everything, which is why she is so partial to people who praise her, such as Miss Suzie, her former teacher, who gave her gold stars for the littlest tasks. And, while the RunningGag of Trish being fired OncePerEpisode is PlayedForLaughs, it's occasionally hinted at that she is genuinely disappointed and distraught over this cycle, which is why being able to be Austin & Ally's manager is so important to her. Many episodes show that beneath the mask, she actually cares a lot about what other people think of her, and only acts like she doesn't because she doesn't want people to see her cry, the most notable instance being in "Beauties & Bullies", where she receives many hateful comments on her appearance and plays it cool in front of her friends, but then goes somewhere private to cry.
122* BigSisterBully: Apparently, she's quite mean to her younger brother. Trish also seems to boss him around in Boy Songs & Badges.
123* BunnyEarsLawyer: Trish is shown to be lazy and irresponsible, but has gotten Austin a concert and interview and actually does a good job in her role. Perhaps because it's the only one she cares about. Ironically, when she lands several more clients besides Austin, she actually has trouble handling them no matter how hard she tried, but she at least puts in more effort.
124* {{Catchphrase}}: "Guess who got a job as/at the (insert name of [[OnceAnEpisode job]] here)!" It even stems from her days in kindergarten. "Guess who got a job as the hall monitor!" This can be anything not concerning a job, but sometimes can be used to express an achievement (or disappointment) of some sort.
125* CharacterDevelopment: By Season 4, Trish learns to act more responsibly, even putting more effort into her clients. More importantly, she learns to be more proactive in achieving her goals and does get kinder as the season progresses.
126* ChildhoodFriends: With Ally.
127* TheConfidant: [[SarcasmMode She's just not very good at it]].
128* DeadpanSnarker: She's the second biggest snarker, after Ally.
129* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Trish is first shown announcing her newest job.
130* TheFashionista: Fashion is one of the things she cares about the most.
131* FatBestFriend: Type A, the brash and extroverted overweight friend to the thin and quiet Ally.
132%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Choleric.
133* GenkiGirl: Very loud, talkative, and energetic.
134* GeorgeJetsonJobSecurity: Trish is [[OncePerEpisode invariably]] hired and then fired from a job that she holds for whatever reason.
135* GoodIsNotNice: She may be a bit rude, but ultimately a good and loyal friend.
136* GratuitousSpanish: Trish is fluent in Spanish, and attempted to tutor Austin in the subject.
137* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Ally, they have always been best friends.
138* ItsAllAboutMe: The most selfish character in the cast, especially when it comes to money.
139* {{Jerkass}}: For no known reason (other than his being a ditz), she seems to have it out for Dez. Although it's nowhere near as bad as some of the majorly {{Jerkass}} characters on [[Series/{{Victorious}} some]] [[Series/ICarly Nickelodeon]] shows. Of course, if she never became friends with Austin, she would be an even bigger jerkass than she is now.
140* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's much nicer to Austin and Ally. In Season 4, she does become nicer and more mature.
141* LazyBum: The reason why she's constantly fired.
142* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The snarky AttentionWhore Dark Feminine to Ally's meek and innocent Light Feminine.
143* NewJobAsThePlotDemands: She's practically the personification of this trope, getting hired (and fired/quitting) a new job at least once an episode.
144* QuirkyCurls: Has curly black hair and quite a quirky personality.
145* ShipperOnDeck: For Austin and Ally.
146* TheSmartGirl: For her managerial skills.
147* SpicyLatina: A feisty latina with a fiery temper.
148* StreetSmart: Her street smarts are what make her a good manager for Austin.
149* TokenMinority: The only latina in the main cast.
150* {{Tsundere}}: Type A with Dez. She bickers with him a lot but sometimes she can be nice to him.
151* VitriolicBestBuds: With Dez. Sure she's mean to him, but it's their thing. Even Dez tried to step up for her by identifying the girl who bullied Trish. It was the wrong approach, but it really shows how great his loyalty is.
152[[/folder]]
153
154[[folder:Dez Wade]]
155[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1000001714_38.png]]
156->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/CalumWorthy
157
158Dez is an aspiring director who films everything that he can. He filmed Austin singing Ally's song, "Double Take", and posted it online. Austin is his long time best friend.
159
160* AmbiguouslyBi:
161** When Ally's [[OldFlame friend from camp]] shows up, Dez goes "[[HoYay Hunk alert!]]"
162** In the episode "Glee Clubs and Glory", he acts more flamboyant than usual and sings "Finally Me" during the final mashup which sounds an awful lot like a coming out song.
163** He often remarks how attractive Austin is. But he finally gets a girlfriend, Carrie, in "Cupids & Cuties".
164* BadLiar: Dez is the worst and will crack under the slightest bit of pressure.
165* BagOfHolding: Dez's backpack contains whatever's relevant to the gag.
166* BigEater: Dez is known as "the guy who ate the twenty-pound hamburger".
167%%* TheBigGuy: With shades of TheLancer.
168* BunnyEarsLawyer: Dez is completely random, but from what we saw of the first music video he made, awesome at directing.
169* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: He always says completely random things.
170* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Too many examples to go into, but Dez fits this trope to a T.
171* DeadpanSnarker: He gets some good ones during season 2 and 3.
172* TheDitz: He thinks "BFF" stands for "Best Freckled Friend", he accidentally gave H8er Girl some advice on attacking Ally directly, nearly got them killed when he sank Shiny Money's boat, etc.
173* ExtremeOmnivore: Dez once deep-fried several objects, which he probably ate. One of these objects was his own shoe.
174* FieryRedhead: In the most innocent way possible.
175%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic.
176* FunTShirt: Dez's whole wardrobe consists of these.
177* GeniusDitz: He does have his moments of brilliance.
178* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Austin.
179* HonorBeforeReason: Dez is a man of his word.
180** When he leaves old, embarrassing pictures of Austin for H8r Girl to take as bait for a trap, he actually used real pictures because of this. If Dez wanted to continue keeping his word, it would've gone better had the gang acted sooner.
181** When he tried to get everyone to get out of line by telling everyone he'd hidden a horseshoe that could be redeemed for the [=MyTab=] the gang was standing in line for, it was also real and also resulted in them losing the [=MyTab=]. Since all employees of the store are bound by oath not to lie, Dez could've gotten away with lying, because he wasn't ''technically'' employed by the store that sold the [=MyTabs=].
182* IGaveMyWord: If Dez makes any promises, he will ''always'' make good on them, as long as he knows he can. Dez did promise H8r Girl embarrassing photos of Austin and a free [=MyTab=] because he actually hid a horseshoe, but that ended up costing the gang. A rather ''astounding'' example was when he promised Lily that Santa will bring her her dad for Christmas, and everyone thought he was being dumb as usual, because he was comforting her with false hope. Turns out Dez ''really'' meant it, and made every effort to make that possible.
183* {{Keet}}: He's even more energetic than Austin.
184* ManChild: Is extremely immature and gullible for his age, to put it lightly.
185%%* MotorMouth
186* NoFullNameGiven: It was a RunningGag that people would be interrupted before saying his last name, until "Fanatics & Favors" revealed that it's Wade and yes, he's distantly related to Dwayne Wade.
187* ObsessedWithFood: One of his main personality traits.
188* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: In "Directors & Divas", he actually loses it and [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech chews out]] [[ManChild an extremely childish and bratty actress]] when she refuses to cooperate in the filming of a movie. His anger is enough to make the actress realize he's dead serious, and she promptly apologizes (though she doesn't completely give up her childish behavior).
189* PairTheDumbOnes: He ends up with BrainlessBeauty and equally strange Carrie. Their lack of intelligence causes them to go through a lengthy separation due to them both believing the other broke up with them. It requires a third party to explain they didn't.
190* PluckyComicRelief: He provides humor and funny moments with his stupidity.
191* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: There's barely an episode where he isn't screaming at the top of his lungs.
192* ShipperOnDeck: For Austin and Ally. He really thinks they should date.
193* VitriolicBestBuds: With Trish. As he told Trent, nobody gets to be mean to Trish but him.
194* WackyGuy: Oh, and how! This is his main character trait, much to the frustration of characters like Trish and Ally.
195* YouthfulFreckles: He refers to himself as the group's "BFF" (Best Freckled Friend) and is the most immature of the four.

198!Recurring Characters
199[[folder:Nelson]]
200[[quoteright:220:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/082.PNG]]
201[[caption-width-right:220: Aww Nartz!]]
202->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ColeSand
203
204Nelson is an awkward young boy who takes music lessons from Ally. He tends to show up at the music store for one reason or another and turn out to have mixed up a word for a word that sounds alike, such as "oboe" and "hobo", resulting in him having done something difficult he didn't need to do.
205
206* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Is learning to play multiple instruments, dresses up nicely, and when given a wish, he wishes for a mustache.
207* {{Catchphrase}}: "Aww, nartz!" He usually follows this one up with "Do you know how hard it was to (insert strange thing here)?"
208* CheerfulChild: Is upbeat and has a positive attitude.
209* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He stops appearing after Season 2.
210* DreadfulMusician: He isn't really good at playing the instruments as shown when he hits notes in the wrong order and key.
211* NoFullNameGiven: His last name is never revealed.
212* QuirkyCurls: Is quite eccentric and has curly hair.
213* TagalongKid: On occasion. For example, Austin chooses to take him to an awards show when he had JustOneExtraTicket because he didn't want to be forced to choose between his three friends.
214[[/folder]]
215
216[[folder:Lester Dawson]]
217->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/AndyMilder
218
219Ally's father. He is the owner of the music store ''Sonic Boom'', and is cheerfully disdainful of Ally's musical talents.
220
221* AdultsAreUseless: Ally's father regularly leaves her alone with her friends to run the store...
222* AmicableExes: With Ally's mom.
223* FantasyForbiddingFather: ...he is also perhaps the ''only'' father in all of Disney to discourage his child from following her dream. However, by the beginning of Season 4, he leaves the store in her hands, allowing Ally and her friends to mentor a new generation of future performers.
224* HandsOffParenting: Ally's dad often gives her the responsibility of taking care of the music store herself.
225* JerkassBall: It's probably not on purpose, but he's very insensitive at times. He wouldn't even let Ally donate any instruments to Nelson's music class because he's very tight-fisted.
226* ManChild: He doesn't like working or responsibilities, preferring to leave everything to Ally instead so he can do whatever he wants.
227* UglyGuyHotWife: With Ally's mom.
228* WackyParentSeriousChild: He's more immature than his daughter Ally.
229[[/folder]]
230

233
234Ally's crush and a former employee at a cell phone accessories cart.
235
236* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He stops appearing after Season 1.
237* ICantDance: Like Ally, he's aware to be a bad dancer.
238* OnlyOneName: His last name is never revealed.
239* SatelliteLoveInterest: He only appears to be a potential LoveInterest to Ally.
240[[/folder]]
241
242[[folder:Carrie]]
243* BewareTheNiceOnes: When she found out Austin wanted to be at prom with Ally instead of her sister, Piper.
244* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Carrie is very quirky as well and takes interest in quirky things.
245%%* TheCutie
246* TheDitz: She makes [[GeniusDitz Dez]] seem smarter by comparison.
247* DumbBlonde: She's very clueless and has blonde hair.
248* PairTheDumbOnes: With Dez, who is idiotic and weird like her. Their lack of intelligence causes them to go through a lengthy separation due to them both believing the other broke up with them. It requires a third party to explain they didn't.
249* SixthRanger: In season 3. She has more appearances than her sister and Jace.
250* StatuesqueStunner: Although not actually brought up (partially cause Dez is very tall as well) Carrie is around the same height as Austin and Dez, and easily towers over every other female character on the show.
251[[/folder]]
252
253[[folder:Jimmy Starr]]
254[[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jimmy.png]]
255->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RichardWhiten
256
257Owner of Starr Records, and signs Austin to his record label in "Successes and Setbacks". He has formally banned Austin from performing for the remainder of his contract, due to Austin revealing his relationship with Ally. [[spoiler:However, "Mini-Me's and Muffin Baskets" sees him bringing Austin back into the music industry.]]
258
259* BadBoss: If his appearances in "Sports and Sprains" and "Relationships & Red Carpets" are any indication, it seems he couldn't care less about Austin's happiness. However, his concern in the former ''was'' quite legitimate.
260* DisproportionateRetribution: Jimmy practically kills Austin's career because of Austin revealing his love for Ally. [[spoiler: He lampshades his overreaction when he unbans Austin from performing in "Mini-Me's and Muffin Baskets".]]
261* JerkassHasAPoint: Jimmy may be antagonistic towards Austin, not to mention selfish, but in at least three instances he had a point:
262** In "Sports and Sprains" he tells Austin to quit basketball because he can't risk Austin getting injured. Unfortunately, Austin [[TemptingFate tempted fate]] and ''did'' get injured, and it was before he was assigned an important performance.
263** While it is an invasion of Austin's personal life, he is right that Austin being single or at least being perceived as such does tremendous favors for his teen idol image and therefore increases sales.
264** A dual example in "Austin and Alias": While Ronnie Ramone is his competition, Jimmy isn't wrong to acknowledge that Ronnie has every right to prevent Ally from writing songs for Austin.
265** In "Relationships and Red Carpets", he tells Austin that he wouldn't have gone far without him. No argument there, because Austin would not have become famous had it not been for Jimmy signing him to his label.
266* JerkassRealization: [[spoiler:He later admits to being at fault for taking away Austin's music career on the basis of his relationship with Ally]].
267* KickTheDog: [[spoiler: He was about to let Austin perform again, but after finding out Austin was performing at a karaoke joint in secret, he tells Austin that he can forget about performing, and ignores Austin's pleas that he was only satisfying his passion for music.]]
268* OnlyInItForTheMoney: "Relationships & Red Carpets" [[ImpliedTrope implies]] this at least twice as being his attitude towards the music industry.
269** The first one is when he says that Austin can't have a girlfriend due to the fact that he has a lot of female fans. Ally asks Jimmy if making millions of dollars is better than Austin's happiness, and Jimmy says nothing, which Ally infers to mean "yes".
270** The second takes place at the end. Austin takes the stage, tells the world about his love for Ally, and then says that music would be nothing without love. Jimmy's scornful look after the declaration and subsequent barring Austin from any future performances for the next 10 years further implies his seeing the music industry as being a way to make a quick buck.
271** [[spoiler:As of "Mini-Me's and Muffin Baskets", this is looking to be averted, as Jimmy says he overreacted about thinking that Austin having a girlfriend would flush his career down the toilet.]]
272* PetTheDog: [[spoiler: One episode after his KickTheDog, Jimmy lifts his ban on Austin's performances admitting he overreacted, along with signing a new talent from the A&A Music Factory, and gives the music factory his full support. He even compliments one of their students, believing that he has potential in the future]].
