2
3[[folder:The Boys]]
4!! Common to the four:
5* BigBrotherInstinct: All four, but ''especially'' Kendall and James, are protective of Katie.
6* TheDanza: The boys share first names with their respective actors.
7* DeadpanSnarker: All four have plenty of snarky moments, but Carlos' are less frequent.
8* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: All four of them get different hairdos throughout the show. Kendall's becomes shorter and more mussed, James goes from long and wavy to short and slicked back, Carlos gets a buzzcut, and Logan switches from messy to gelled, resembling Ace Ventura slightly.
9* FourManBand:
10** OnlySaneMan: Kendall
11** TheSmartGuy: Logan
12** ButtMonkey: Carlos
13** CasanovaWannabe: James
14* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
15** Kendall: Phlegmatic
16** Logan: Melancholic
17** Carlos: Sanguine
18** James: Choleric
19* LovableJock: They were on the hockey team back in Minnesota.
20* MinnesotaNice: Despite their quirks and flaws, the boys are genuine {{Nice Guy}}s, which sometimes clashes with the LA lifestyle.
21* MrFanservice: All four, but James is the most notable example.
22* PrettyBoy: Many girls in-universe have mentioned how cute they are.
23* TeensAreMonsters: They often misbehave to the point that Gustavo and Kelly have to parent them all the time.
24** When it comes to backtalking Gustavo, NiceGuy Kendall is surprisingly the worst offender. In the pilot, he repeatedly mocks Gustavo for not having had a hit comeback in over a decade. To be fair, though, Gustavo had just finished insulting his best friends and telling James he had no talent.
25*** Kendall sometimes pushes him to the point that it becomes a plot point, such as in "Big Time Guru."
26** In "Mansion", they outright trash Gustavo's mansion (littering popcorn in his $1 million living room, eating up his pudding, destroying his belongings) despite his warnings he'll fire them for this. Kendall ''especially'' encourages the other three to break the rules.
27** In "Jobs", they do a lot of illegal things to WorkOffTheDebt they've accrued to Gustavo for vandalism to the Palm Woods Hotel, such as running an illegal daycare center, forcing children to wash cars, and destroying an $8000 prototype coffee machine.
28
29!!Kendall Knight
30--> Played by Creator/KendallSchmidt
31The de-facto leader of the boys, thanks to his constant level-headedness and penchant for motivational speeches. He is the only one who doesn't want to let being a celebrity get to his head.
32* AffectionateNickname: Katie calls him "big brother" with genuine fondness.
33* AlliterativeName: ''K''endall ''K''night.
34* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: PlayedWith. Boy band tradition dictates there has to be one so he has the job by default, given how the others already have their archetypes (Logan being the smart one, Carlos the funny one, and James the beauty). Ironically enough, this is despite being the most obvious NiceGuy of the four.
35** On the other hand, BewareTheNiceOnes is in full play. Humorously, he ''does'' have the most vitriolic relationship with their manager despite (or maybe even because of) being the OnlySaneMan (and being the one Gustavo liked in the first place).
36* BewareTheNiceOnes: Kendall can be your best friend or your worst nightmare. For example, when Jo's co-star fakes the two of them being in a relationship for the press and mocks Kendall about it, Kendall flat-out tries to punch him.
37* BigOlEyebrows: Kelly even points them out in the first episode.
38* BigBrotherInstinct: He's ''very'' protective of Katie. Most notably shown in "Big Time Contest" and in the BigDamnMovie.
39* CoolBigBro: To Katie. Unlike most brother-sister relationships in sitcoms, Kendall and Katie are on extremely good terms most of the time and aid each other in their schemes.
40* {{Determinator}}: In ''Big Time Movie'', he gets punched in the ribs by one of Atticus Moon's henchmen and gets up as if it were nothing. Keep in mind that particular henchman had a ''mallet made of silver'' for a hand.
41* DisappearedDad: Since Kendall and Katie frequently set dates for their mom, it's assumed their father is either divorced or gone. Nobody even mentions him throughout the series.
42* HeroicBSOD: He goes through a small one in TheMovie when he finds out that Katie was kidnapped.
43* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Kendall has blond hair and is pretty much one of the nicest guys you could ever hope to meet.
44* TheLeader: Of the band.
45* RealMenWearPink: In "Big Time Secret", he sneaks around with Camille without telling the other guys because he wanted to join a ''figure skating'' competition. He tried to hide it because they, as hockey players, would mock him mercilessly.
46* RousingSpeech: He's often the one who cheers the group up with his speeches about friendship, even when they are getting into crazy schemes. "Big Time Cameo" even lampshades this when the writers of the sitcom designated [[{{Flanderization}} Kendall's character in the script]] as "The Motivational Speeches Guy".
47* StraightMan: Compared to his friends, Kendall is usually the one who keeps his cool and actively tries to solve the crazy situations they often get into. It can either go well or fail miserably.
48* TheStrategist: Despite Logan being the brains, Kendall is usually the one who figures out a way to pull off the various schemes the boys do in the show.
49** From the first episode:
50---> '''James:''' Kendall, do something!
51---> '''Kendall:''' What're you looking at ''me'' for? Logan's the genius!
52---> '''Logan:''' What?! I panic under pressure and you ''always'' come up with the answer.
53---> (''James nods knowingly'')
54---> '''Kendall:''' What? That is ''so'' not true... [[EurekaMoment I know how to get there.]]
55* TallDarkAndSnarky: Kendall is one of the tallest members of the group, has dark blonde hair, and everything out of his mouth is either a rousing speech or a snarky remark.
56
57!!James Diamond
58--> Played by Creator/JamesMaslow
59The best-looking guy in the group who takes ''a lot'' of pride in it. James has a tendency to come off as extremely arrogant, but he actually has a sweet and goofy side that comes out around his best friends. He's also a bit of a playboy. By the series finale [[spoiler: he and Lucy are implied to have become a couple]].
60* AfraidOfNeedles: The only reason he got over this was because he got an allergy that developed to truly horrifying levels.
61* AnimalLover: In "Big Time Rescue", he's horrified to learn what "the big dog house in the sky" really means and adopts the remaining dogs.
62* CatchPhrase: Tends to say [[NoIndoorVoice "She will be]] [[LargeHam MINE!"]] whenever there's a pretty girl he's interested in. In the last two seasons, it's mostly directed at Lucy.
63* ChickMagnet: James is acknowledged as the 'face' of the band in-universe. On one occasion, while helping Logan to ask Camille to the Palm Woods prom, he gives examples of what to do by asking out five nearby girls. ''All'' of them say yes.
64* CompanionCube: He has a "lucky comb."
65* TheDitz: Downplayed. He falls pretty easily for scams (e.g. the fan who ended up kidnapping and locking him in a basement) and isn't very academically smart, but he's also come up with some pretty good plans on the fly throughout the show.
66* DramaQueen: He has a tendency to act like this a lot, like when Lucy friendzoned him the first time around, or when he started to apply magazine tests to Kendall, answering as if they were in a relationship.
67* DudeLooksLikeALady: Lampshaded in "Big Time Christmas." In the animated music video with Snoop Dog, the band is depicted as squirrels, but James is the only one with eyelashes.
68* DrowningMySorrows: In "Big Time Contest" he's seen going to the buffet to get what seems to be another meatball sub. He even says "Hit me" to the annoyed caterer, as if wanting another shot.
69* FreudianExcuse: He has an overbearing mom who owns a cosmetics company, which...truly explains a lot of his mannerisms.
70* HiddenDepths: In "Big Time Fans", James works out in front of pictures of his heroes: Creator/DavidHasselhoff, UsefulNotes/MahatmaGandhi, and UsefulNotes/AbrahamLincoln.
71* {{Hunk}}: James is extremely good-looking, and gets noticeably more ripped as the show goes on. Unfortunately for him, he knows it and tends to flaunt it, which more-or-less drives off the girls he's trying to impress.
72* IJustWantToBeSpecial: He's the one most interested in becoming famous in the pilot.
73* IconicItem: James ''loves'' wearing bandannas, to the point that his [[ItMakesSenseInContext superhero alter-ego]] is called Bandanna Man.
74-->'''James:''' Bandannas are cool!
75* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He’s often a little selfish with his desires, but usually always comes around, and is generally an otherwise friendly and supportive guy.
76* LadykillerInLove: Playboy James falls ''hard'' for Lucy, and it's implied that they get together by the end of the show.
77* {{Leitmotif}}: An electric guitar riff that plays whenever he's showing off his looks or trying to impress somebody.
78* MeaningfulName: His surname reflects he's the fancy "diamond" of the group.
79* MySisterIsOffLimits: Although they aren't related, he tends to view [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Katie]] as his own sister as well. In one episode, he gets very overprotective when she goes on a date with a boy her age, and does everything in his power to ensure that she doesn't watch a PG-13 film with said guy.
80* {{Narcissist}}: He has a tendency to think only of himself. Despite this, James is actually a pretty loyal guy who cares deeply about his circle of friends.
81* PapaWolf: Towards Katie. He even acts more like a [[MySisterIsOffLimits jealous big brother]] than Kendall himself.
82* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: James has a RunningGag of emitting a very high-pitched shriek whenever he's scared, such as when people threaten to cut his hair or when [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere an especially annoyed Gustavo comes charging at him.]]
83* TheUnfavorite: James reminds Gustavo of Creator/MatthewMcConaughey, which is why Gustavo dislikes him so much. Ironically enough, James was originally the only one who wanted to be a star.
84
85!!Carlos Garcia
86--> Played by Carlos Pena Vega.
87Arguably the most eccentric member of the group. Also known as the funny one. He was constantly seen wearing a helmet in earlier seasons but loses it around Season 4.
88* AgentMulder: He believes in almost anything. He even bought bottles of Zom-Be-Gone to protect himself from a zombie apocalypse.
89* AttractiveBentGender: In "Big Time Halloween", Gustavo's machine briefly turns him into a beauty queen.
90* TheBabyOfTheBunch: It's stated on the Big Time Rush Wiki that Carlos was only fifteen when their adventures as a boy band started.
91** Ironically enough, in real life, his actor is actually the eldest of the four.
92* BigEater: He is always seen with a corn dog or getting very excited when food is mentioned.
93* TheBigGuy: Despite being the shortest, Carlos is physically the strongest, as evidenced by him wielding a sledgehammer like it weighed nothing in "Big Time Mansion" and Kendall entrusting him to break down doors in "Big Time Photo Shoot" with just his ''head.''
94* CharacterTics: Tends to tap his helmet twice as a way of psyching himself up.
95* CloudCuckooLander: He is never seen without his helmet, which he sometimes treats as a living thing, and throws himself into all sorts of crazy situations on a daily basis. His life dream also involves him becoming a superhero someday somehow. When he tries to be the voice of reason, you just ''know'' that the situation is out of control.
96** For his Earth Day project, his and James' idea involved ''[having] a cow in every house''. Miss Collins immediately rejects their project.
97* CompanionCube: His helmet. He never goes anywhere without it and can't quite function if it's not on his head. He grows out of it in later seasons.
98* {{Keet}}: The most hyperactive of the four. Gustavo even has to change one of his break-up songs into a happy one because Carlos was ''too cheerful'' to sing it.
99* PintsizedPowerhouse: He's the shortest of the guys (which is ironic because he's the oldest of the four in real life), but also the toughest.
100* TokenMinority: The only one in the group who is Hispanic.
101* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Corn dogs.
102
103!![[spoiler:Hortense]] Logan Mitchell
104--> Played by Logan Henderson
105Labeled "the smart one," Logan had originally planned on becoming a doctor, but he quickly adjusts to the lifestyle of an LA pop star. As of Season 4, he is in a relationship with Camille.
106* AffectionateNickname: The gang tends to call him 'Logie' from time to time.
107* AttractiveBentGender: He managed to get into a lecture held at an ''all-girls'' college and only got discovered because he blew his cover in front of a room full of {{Straw Feminist}}s.
108* BrainyBrunette: He is the smartest of the group, to the point where his entire class was fighting to be partners with him in ''Green Time Rush''.
109* ButtMonkey: Poor Logan somehow always finds himself in harm's way, no matter the situation.
110** When the guys are worried that the addition of Wayne Wayne will lead to someone getting kicked out of the band, James remarks that he thinks it'll be Logan... ''while crouching right next to him''. Later, Gustavo and Griffin remark that they thought Logan would be the one kicked out of the band, ''Griffin going so far as to use the intercom so that Logan would hear him''.
111** Logan was also sat on by Gustavo and repeatedly run over by a horde of fangirls. Boy just can't catch a break.
112** In "Big Time Break", Logan goes through a lot of trouble to attend a lecture from his favorite math celebrity teacher only to find out that she's a [[StrawFeminist crazy feminist]] and, later on, gets beaten up by her students.
113** In "Welcome Back Big Time", Logan does several weeks of school work in a day--not just his own, but ''the rest of the group's too''. At least James and Kendall do something very minute to claim the work as their own; Carlos ''just signs his name''.
114*** Somehow their teacher doesn't put two and two together when Carlos' project includes ''a working laser''.
115** In "Big Time Moms," it is revealed that [[spoiler: Logan's real name is Hortense,]] but James' mother made him change it.
116** In ''Big Time Movie'' Logan gets shot by tranquilizing dart guns... [[RuleOfThree three times]].
117** In "Big Time Pranks", the guys hold a prank contest among all of the Palm Woods tenants and Logan is the first one to be disqualified. Funny thing is, nobody even pranks him. He actually pranks ''himself.''
118* CrazyJealousGuy: He can be this for Camille. In "Big Time Secrets," he started stalking Kendall and Camille because he thought they were secretly dating. He literally becomes AxCrazy in-episode and starts chasing them with an ax-shaped guitar.
119* TheDitherer: While filling out a form that asks him what his biggest weakness is, Logan denies it when the other boys says he can be pretty indecisive... then [[ComicallyMissingThePoint proceeds to go through]] [[{{Irony}} a number of choices]] before finally settling on 'weak bladder.'
120** {{Lampshaded}} in "Big Time Songwriters."
121-->'''Carlos:''' Okay, then you pick the song. Which one is better, Logan? The "Oh Song," or the "Yeah Song"?
122-->'''Logan:''' You guys, I'd really rather not get into the middle of this, so um...
123-->'''Carlos:''' Big surprise. ''Logan'' doesn't want to make a decision!
124* EmbarrassingFirstName: Logan's real first name is ''[[spoiler:Hortense]]''. Thank goodness for James' mom.
125-->'''Kendall:''' Me, Carlos, and ''[[spoiler:Hortense]]'' are here to see James.
126-->'''Mrs. Diamond:''' I don't like the name [[spoiler:Hortense]]. Call him Logan from now on.
127* EndearinglyDorky: Occasional lab coat, check. Brain of the group, check. Almost always wears a button down/necktie/t-shirt, check. Cute? DOUBLE CHECK.
128* KindheartedCatLover: In "Big Time Mansion," Logan visibly lights up when Gustavo mentions that he has a hairless cat they'll have to babysit.
129* NotSoAboveItAll: Even though he is the smartest one in the group and likes to think of himself as the responsible one, Logan is still a 16-year-old boy who is not free of being impulsive or clumsy as well.
130* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Played for laughs in the first episode.
131--> '''Kelly:''' You. Name.
132--> '''Logan:''' Me? No, thank you, I'm gonna be a doctor.
133--> '''Kelly:''' Yeah? Well, I'm a desperate talent scout, and you have a cute smile, and Justin Timberlake made forty-four million dollars last year.
134--> '''Logan:''' Hit me. (''Kelly slaps a number onto his chest'')
135* OppositesAttract: He and Camille are this at first. He's a bookish, down-to-earth guy who originally wanted to be a doctor; she's an outgoing method actress who tends to be the loudest person in the room.
136* SlapSlapKiss: His relationship with Camille is definitely this.
137* WholesomeCrossdresser: He dresses up as a grandma in "Big Time Crush."
138** He also dressed like a girl in Big Time Break.
139[[/folder]]
140
141[[folder:AroundThePalmwoods]]
142!!Katie Knight
143--> Played by Creator/CiaraBravo
144Kendall's younger sister. Dangerously clever and definitely [[WiseBeyondTheirYears wise beyond her years]], she spends most of her time thinking of ways to make money. Regardless, there are times when she acts like a normal preteen girl, but she'll always be 100% confident in her plans.
145
146* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted. She and Kendall actually have a good relationship with one another, and openly state that they love each other. She's also quite close to the other members of the band.
147* AffectionateNickname: Kendall calls her "baby sister."
148* AlliterativeName: ''K''atie ''K''night. Though in spelling only, not pronunciation.
149* TheBabyOfTheBunch: So much so that [[BigBrotherInstinct Kendall]] and [[MySisterIsOffLimits James]] can't handle the thought of anyone trying to kiss her.
150* BadassInDistress: In TheMovie, where she's kidnapped after Kendall accidentally gets [[ArtifactOfDoom the villain's suitcase]] by mistake at the airport and has to wait for the boys to rescue her. She’s not afraid of the villain at all and he is visibly irritated by her criticisms of him.
151* BewareTheCuteOnes: Do not mess with this girl. When she gets in the mood or has been crossed, she could make [[Series/DrakeAndJosh Megan Parker]] look like an angel by comparison. Unlike Megan, however, her victims generally deserve it.
152* BigBrotherWorship: Unlike many brother-sister bickering dynamics in sitcoms, Kendall and Katie have the best on-screen sibling relationship and aid each other with their schemes.
153* BrainyBrunette: Katie has brown hair and is scarily competent for someone her age.
154* CharacterTics: She tends to tug the boys' ears down to her level when she's pissed with any of them.
155* DefiantCaptive: In the BigDamnMovie, she's kidnapped. But she openly mocks her captor. He even describes her as "dreadful" and wonders how the boys put up with her.
156* DeliberatelyCuteChild: She ''knows'' she's cute, and uses this to her advantage every chance she gets.
157* DisappearedDad: Since Kendall and Katie set dates for their mom, it's assumed their father is either divorced or gone. Nobody talks about him.
158* EveryonesBabySister: Again, it's a given since she's Kendall's younger sister.
159* {{Foil}}: To both Kendall and her mom. She is the only one in the family who adapts quickly to competitive and business-focused Hollywood, while they try to stick to their [[MinnesotaNice Minnesota lifestyle views]]. However, they are still very close as a family and can work their way out of any situation.
160* GuileHeroine: She is equally as ambitious and manipulative as Bitters, or even Griffin, but her heart is in the right place.
161* ImprobableAge: One episode has her being in charge of the label, which she is exceptional at.
162* IntergenerationalFriendship: Is friends with the maintenance man, Buddha Bob, who would sometimes assist her in her schemes. Sometimes gets along with Gustavo, Kelly, and Griffin. One episode has her having a stock business meeting.
163* InformedLoner: Jennifer wants her to find more friend her age. Though, Katie insists she's fine with hanging out with the guys, and the maintance staff at the Palm Woods.
164* {{Leitmotif}}: A mockingly sweet melody. It's also used with other characters, but it's mostly associated with her.
165* LittleMissConArtist: She's ''very'' good at coming up with schemes to earn money.
166* LittleMissSnarker: A very sarcastic, witty preteen girl.
167* MouthyKid: Snarky, witty, and straightforward in any situation.
168* NotSoAboveItAll: Even though she is unbelievably independent and smart, she's still a preteen kid who has her moments of immaturity. This is shown whenever she has to learn that her mother still knows better than her in other aspects.
169* OneHeadTaller: Has this dynamic with Kendall and James, justafied as she's about six years younger than the boys.
170* OneOfTheGuys: So much so that in "Big Time Bad Boy" Jennifer desperately tries to get Katie a girl friend her own age.
171* PuppyDogEyes: She's highly aware that she has this and knows how to use them.
172* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Of the main cast during the first season. Averted starting with season 2 when Kelly was [[PromotionToOpeningTitles promoted]].
173* SpoiledBrat: She tries to get spoiled by her mother as much as possible. In "Big Time Strike", she trains BTR to be just as spoiled as she is by demanding Gustavo give them an ice cream bar, a hair salon, a petting zoo, hot tubs, and more.
174* WiseBeyondTheirYears: Tends to be one of the smartest characters on the show despite being the youngest in the main cast.
175
176!!Jo Taylor
177--> Played by Creator/KatelynTarver
178A fairly successful young actress and Kendall's girlfriend. In season two, she had to leave to film a movie for three years, [[spoiler: but she returns in season 3]].
179* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Of the three main non-Jennifer teenage girls, Jo is the blonde.
180* CareerVersusMan: When Jo is introduced, she tries to avoid relationships to focus on her acting career, but ends up dating Kendall anyway. During their relationship, many episodes showcase how they succeed in pursuing their relationship despite having very tight schedules. Jo eventually gets offered a three-year gig in New Zealand and is torn between taking it or staying with Kendall, with him later encouraging her to follow her dreams. [[spoiler:She returns earlier anyway and they rekindle their relationship]].
181* CuteBruiser: Trained in Judo and flips Kendall over her shoulder several times without appearing strained.
182-->'''Jo:''' [[BadassBoast Just let me know when you had enough.]]
183* [[spoiler:FirstGirlWins: An entire episode is dedicated to Kendall choosing between her and Lucy. He chooses Jo.]]
184* GirlNextDoor: Introduced as/fantasized as such, but subverted by her career-oriented ambition and subsequent success making her less "accessible."
185* GirlfriendInCanada: She claims she has a boyfriend named "Travis" back in North Carolina so Kendall won't flirt with her. Once Kendall realizes and starts to test her, she hires a guy to pretend to be "Travis", but it fails immediately.
186* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls Kendall out for being jealous of her completely professional relationship with Jet, yet four episodes prior, she was jealous of Kendall helping Jordin Sparks. However, both instances weren't without justification. Jet did text Jo "I feel the same way about you" implying romantic feelings between the two and Jo did catch Kendall in multiple instances between him and Jordin that could've easily been mistaken for romance.
187* OfficialCouple: With Kendall.
188* OnlySaneWoman: Between Camille's LargeHam moments and the boys being the crazy bunch, Jo is often relegated to being this.
189* PutOnABus: Breaks up with Kendall to pursue an acting gig in New Zealand.
190** TheBusCameBack: Just in time to find Kendall and [[spoiler: Lucy]] making out in the elevator.
191* LoveInterest: She is introduced to have the boys fight over who impresses her first. Then she becomes Kendall's girlfriend two episodes later.
192* ThoseTwoGirls: She and Camille become best friends. They're often seen hanging out together when they aren't working or with their respective boyfriends.
193
194!!Camille Roberts
195--> Played by Creator/ErinSanders
196An aspiring actress, one of the most eccentric characters on the show, and Logan's on-again/off-again girlfriend. She constantly acts out her roles as practice and has a tendency to slip too deep into character.
197* BetaCouple: With Logan.
198* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The brunette to Jo's blonde and Lucy's redhead.
199* CharacterDevelopment: She was one of the craziest person in The Palm Woods but she became wiser and more mature over seasons.
200* DopeSlap: Especially in the earlier seasons. Camille is easily the resident example of this trope in the show.
201* ForcefulKiss: She kisses Logan this way a ''lot''. Not to say that he doesn't appreciate it, though.
202* TheGlomp: She has a habit of welcoming Logan with a tackle hug. In "Big Time Returns", Logan's subplot has him trying to get Camille to tackle him and her trying to resist the temptation of doing it.
203* ImStandingRightHere: After Logan finds out that [[spoiler:she and James kissed and storms off]], Kate and Mr. Bitters (who've been watching everything go down like a movie), speculate that [[spoiler:Logan and Camille are finished]], leading Camille to saying this.
204* JustFriends: She and James only kissed because they got too into character while practicing for a role, not because there was any attraction. They promptly feel horrified and guilty by this and try to find a way to tell Logan.
205* LargeHam: InUniverse. She tends to exaggerate in her dramatic scenes.
206* MethodActing: In-Universe, which is also her main forte, but it's also why she keeps flunking her auditions.
207** On one occasion, she brought actual ''explosives'' for an audition for a witch character. And in another, she straight up steals $10,000 from Mr. Bitters' safe to stay in character for a special agent role!
208* PintSizedPowerhouse: PlayedForLaughs.Camille is shorter than Jo, but she managed to break the boys' apartment door down with a single kick in "Welcome Back Big Time" and knocked out Logan by slapping him in "Big Time Concert". Also in "Big Time Secrets" she flips Guitar Dude with ease playing a role of a spy movie.
209* QuirkyCurls: Her hair is usually styled this way.
210* RedBaron: Lampshaded by Tyler in the pilot to the Boys, she's known as "Palm Woods' Method Acting Queen".
211* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to Logan’s Savvy Guy.
212* SlapSlapKiss: Literally how her relationship with Logan works. She often slaps him (for auditions, but still) and in the drop of a hat, they flip to MakeOutKids.
213* StraightMan: In later seasons, she becomes less hammy and more sensible and mature than Logan.
214* SureLetsGoWithThat: She purposely sabotaged Logan's turn to flirt with Jo by smooching him [[BlatantLies for an audition]].
215-->'''Kendall:''' Series/OneTreeHill?
216-->'''Camille:''' [[SureLetsGoWithThat Sure. Let's go with that.]]
217* ThoseTwoGirls: In later seasons, she and Jo become best friends. They're often shown hanging out together when they don't have work or are with their respective boyfriends.
218* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Downplayed. In "Big Time Campus", she doesn't hesitate to jump aggressively on a guard to protect Logan, who was stuck in a bear costume.
219
220!!The Jennifers
221--> Played by Creator/DenyseTontz as Jennifer 1, Creator/SpencerLocke/Creator/KelliGoss as Jennifer 2, Creator/SavannahJayde as Jennifer 3
222Three beautiful but high-maintenance girls of the same name and Carlos's main love interests. Notorious around the Palm Woods for their slow-motion entrances and rejecting any guy without a movie deal or a top ten single.
223----
224* AlphaBitch: The three of them rule Palm Woods by being mean to the newbies to "mark territory". All of them share the role equally, unlike most {{Girl Posse}}s.
225* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Played with. Jennifer 1 is Brunette, Jennifer 2 is Blonde, Jennifer 3 is African-American with black or auburn-ish hair, depending on how she has it done.
226* {{Expy}}: Of [[WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} The Ashleys]].
227* TheFashionista: The three of them. Averted when Jennifer 1 is separated from the others. Carlos is told that the three of them help each other, which is the reason why she was acting strange during their prom date.
228* GirlPosse: So much that they can't keep balance if the group is incomplete. When Jennifer 2 was absent, they completed the trio by ''replacing her with Carlos''.
229* GiveGeeksAChance: Even though Carlos is no geek (but very hyper instead), they consider him the "better option" compared to the other guys, given their ridiculously high standards.
230* GivenNameReveal: Jennifer 1's surname is Woods, as revealed in "Big Time Prom Kings".
231* HiddenDepths: Even though they have a tendency to act like snobby divas, all three have a genuine soft spot for Carlos, with blonde and brunette/Latina Jennifer dating him at some point or another.
232* IdenticallyNamedGroup: The OneSteveLimit is triple averted with them, and that's also why they are called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin "The Jennifers"]].
233* LovableAlphaBitch: They can be completely mean and controlling, but they do have soft spots.
234* MamaBear: They warned Carlos about breaking Brunette Jennifer's heart and the subsiding consequences.
235* PutOnABus:
236** In "Big Time Fever", Jennifer 2 (Spencer Locke) was away. This becomes a plot point of the episode, making Carlos fill the void. It's never stated in later episodes if Jennifer 2 (Kelli Goss) is that same character or another blonde girl also named Jennifer.
237** They are notably absent during most of Season 4 until the final chapter, except for Jennifer 1, who is replaced by a cardboard cutout carried by the other two. According to them, she had to stay longer on the movie they were filming overseas during the season.
238* RomanticFalseLead: Carlos has been trying to be the boyfriend of either of them for three seasons. Each one gets to date him at different points, but ultimately he chooses Alexa Vega, who he met that day.
239* SupermodelStrut: Due to Hollywood Fever, they all walk with the confident strut of a supermodel, while in [[SlowMotion slow-mo]], [[TeamPowerWalk in perfect sync]] and with DramaticWind blowing their hair, all while their {{Leitmotif}} plays. It usually gets guys, or at least Carlos, to stare. Lampshaded in "Big Time Fever" that they walked normally prior to moving to Hollywood.
240* TeamPowerWalk: Their standard way of entering a scene is doing a dramatic, slow-mo SupermodelStrut towards the screen, in tune with their {{Leitmotif}} "City Is Ours". They even pay Tyler to work a large fan so they can get DramaticWind. They're so used to doing it in sync, that they can get clumsy when one of them is missing.
241* TokenTrio: Jennifer 1 is {{implied}} to be Latina, Jennifer 2 is white, and Jennifer 3 is African-American.
242
243!!Jett Stetson
244--> Played by Creator/DavidCade
245Jo's co-star, who is one of the most popular actors on the InUniverse show ''New Town High''. He has a crush on Jo and a bitter rivalry with Kendall.
246
247* ActorShipping: Invoked. Jet tries to pull this with Jo so he can get even more publicity for New Town High.
248* AttentionWhore: Adores publicity, no matter the context.
249* ArcVillain: For Kendall and Jo's relationship, but the rivalry was in its prime in season two.
250* BrainlessBeauty: You thought James was vain? Jett is ten times worse. Instead of helping Kendall on their school project, he wasted resources, time, and ''made himself a big cardboard box to pose as a Ken doll''.
251* TheDitz: He has absolutely no interest for anything outside of his appearance. In the Finale, he completely forgot the Tween Choice Awards date, missing also his nomination for "Perfect Hair".
252* EvilCounterpart: To Kendall and James. While Kendall is smart, a loyal friend, and loving boyfriend, Jett is completely egocentric, dumb, selfish (almost like James but without his good attributes), and only wants to hook-up with Jo for publicity.
253* JerkJock: Acts like one.
254* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Occasionally crops up. He makes a breakfast buffett for the boys while partnered with Kendall for a green project.
255* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: In ''Big Time Sneakers'', he actually worked with Jo's publicist to try to strong-arm Kendall and Jo into breaking up, or else they will ruin Jo's job on ''New Town High''.
256* NiceCharacterMeanActor: Presumably, as his character and Jo's are love interests on ''New Town High'', but Jett himself is a total jerk.
257* RomanticFalseLead: To Jo.
258* SixthRanger: In EnemyMine situations.
259* TookALevelInKindness: Season 4 downplays his negative traits and has him on better terms with Kendall.
260
261!!Lucille "Lucy" Stone
262--> Played by Creator/MaleseJow
263A girl who moves into the Palm Woods after [[spoiler: Jo leaves.]] There is some romantic tension between her and Kendall, but it fades when [[spoiler: Jo comes back.]] As of [[spoiler: Season 4, she's back, and is developing romantic tension with James. They're implied to have begun dating in the finale.]]
264* AsianAndNerdy: Her parents think that she is this as a classically-trained concert violinist. In reality, Lucy is anything but.
265* CarefulWithThatAxe: Played with. She has a guitar ''with'' an ax blade on it. [[CrazyJealousGuy Logan]] steals it when he thinks Kendall and Camille are dating, and [[ItMakesSenseInContext proceeds to chase them around the hotel while wielding it.]]
266* FreakyFashionMildMind: Lucy has red streaks in her hair and dresses like a stereotypical rocker chick, but is really quite friendly once you earn her trust.
267* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With James in Season 4. At 5'3, Malese is the shortest of the female cast; at 6'1, James is the tallest of the males.
268* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:She left the Palm Woods to allow Jo and Kendall to rekindle their relationship and not make drama for them.]]
269** However, she ''did'' [[spoiler: write a song about Kendall dumping her for Jo]] in "Big Time Swifted" and eventually [[spoiler: moved back into the Palm Woods]].
270* NotSoAboveItAll: While she's normally very frustrated with the boys antics, she's also known to get somewhat ridiculous and dramatic herself at times.
271** Exemplified in "Big Time Returns," where she dives head first into feeding the chaos to make a point.
272* OnlySaneMan: Is constantly remarking on how exceptionally weird the boys are with their many and often rediculous rules and high energy antics. That said, she still chooses to spend time with them.
273** Averted in "Big Time Lies," in which she is repeatedly complaining about the frankly insane goings on, but she still finds herself [[NotSoAboveItAll getting wrapped up in and enjoying their silly antics]] the longer she hangs around them.
274* TheRockstar: Subverted. Lucy is fairly level-headed and tends to be the voice of reason when she's around the guys.
275* RomanticFalseLead: She was starting a relationship with Kendall, [[spoiler:until Jo came back unexpectedly.]]
276* ShipTease: With James, after she returns.
277* [[StraightMan Straight Woman]]: See OnlySaneMan.
278* WomanScorned: While she was willing to leave when [[spoiler:Kendall chose Jo over her]] to stay out of the way for a while, she still didn't take it nicely. She ended up releasing a single about being [[spoiler:dumped in an elevator, basically [[Music/TaylorSwift swift]][[UnusualEuphemism ing]]]] him.
279
280!!Jennifer Knight
281--> Played by Creator/ChallenCates
282Kendall's mother, who moves to Los Angeles with the boys. She is probably the most sensible character on the show and acts as TeamMom.
283* AlmightyMom: Even Katie knows there're things her mom does better than her.
284* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: The redhead to Brooke Diamond's blonde and Sylvia and Joanna's brunettes.
285* DraggedIntoDrag: When Logan complains to her that he can’t attend a math lecture at an all-girls school, she suddenly dresses him as a girl in order to get him in.
286* {{Foil}}: To Katie. While she is a lovable mom who sometimes goes into MyBelovedSmother mode, Katie is very independent and ambitious, which clashes with [[MinnesotaNice her way of doing things in life]].
287* GoodParents: For a single mother watching five kids, three of whom aren't hers, she does a pretty amazing job. She's protective, supportive, and caring to all of them, and treats James, Carlos, and Logan [[ParentalSubstitute as her own]].
288* LastNameBasis: Aside from Kendall and Katie (they call her "Mom"), everyone else always refers to her as "Mrs. Knight" or "Mama Knight". Whether this is to avoid confusion with [[TokenTrio The Jennifers]] is anyone's guess. Her first name was only used ''once'' by James' mom.
289* MamaBear: She beat up another mom because she insulted Katie.
290* MinnesotaNice: Tries to adapt to LA while still being nice, but it doesn't always work.
291* ParentalSubstitute: To James, Logan, and Carlos.
292
293!!Mr. Bitters
294--> Played by Creator/DavidAnthonyHiggins
295
296The manager of the Palm Woods who has it out for the boys. He mainly has a rivalry with Katie.
297
298* ButtMonkey: He is one of the most frequent victims of the boys' shenanigans in the Palm Woods.
299* TheChewToy: As recurring ButtMonkey, he is also prone to receiving all the physical suffering, such as being stabbed in the hand with a pen by Jenny.
300* EvilLaugh: A RunningGag is that everything happens to him in the middle of his EvilGloatingLaugh.
301* FatBastard: During his Jerkass moments.
302* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Katie, since she seems to hang out more with grown-ups than with kids her age.
303* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While he is greedy and unsympathetic to his clients, he also has his moments towards the boys or Katie.
304* MeaningfulName: His last name gives you a good indicator of his personality.
305* MommasBoy: He ''adores'' his mom. It's the reason why he tries to pretend he has a family, just so she won't get disappointed in him.
306* SitcomArchNemesis: To Katie.
307
308!!Budda Bob
309--> Played by Creator/DaranNorris
310
311The Palm Woods' janitor. While appearing to be crazy, he is actually very sensible and likable.
312
313* AlmightyJanitor: Played with. He is very capable and has many hidden depths, but his communication skills are average and he is not very smart.
314* AxCrazy: Played with. He used an ax to ''cut a doughnut in half'', which causes Mrs. Knight to think he is this.
315* CompanionCube: With Plungie.
316* EasyAmnesia: When Ms. Knight accidentally hits him with a pan, he starts believing he is [[ActorAllusion the Fairy Godparent]] [[WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents Cosmo]].
317* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide Gordy]], who was also played by Daran Norris.
318* FaceOfAThug: When moving into Palm Woods, Mrs. Knight thought he was an AxCrazy serial killer after seing him in [[NotWhatItLooksLike very unlikely situations]]. It took her a while to realize he was the maintenance guy.
319--> '''Katie''': My mom thinks you're an ax maniac.
320--> '''Budda Bob''': That explains why she screams every time she sees me.
321* HiddenDepths: In ''Big Time Wedding'' Buddha Bob reveals that he's a great cook, mechanic, teller of make-believe stories. and can re-tile a bathroom pretty well.
322* NiceGuy: Despite his gruff appearance, Buddha Bob is one of the nicest characters on the show. Heck, he's even nice to ''Bitters.''
323
324!!Miss Collins
325--> Played by Creator/TaraStrong
326
327The teacher at the Palm Woods School.
328
329* BewareTheNiceOnes: She doesn't care about producers, as Gustavo well knows.
330* CoolTeacher: She's a very nice and charming teacher, but only if you behave in class.
331* HotTeacher: She ''is'' played by Creator/TaraStrong, after all...
332* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: She understands when Logan prefers to delay their project and properly tutor his partner, and concedes about giving them the extension.
333* SternTeacher: While she knows her students are also busy celebrities, she ''will'' put their education above everything, even over their careers.
334
335!!Guitar Dude
336--> Played by Creator/BarnettOHara
337
338One of the band's friends. As his nickname says, he is seldom seen without his guitar.
339
340* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In Season 3.
341* HiddenDepths: He's also really good at the cello, and initially came to L.A. to perform as one before Hollywood Fever kicked in.
342* SurferDude: Even though his nickname is "Guitar Dude", he really talks like a surfer would.
343
344!!Tyler
345--> Played by Creator/TuckerAlbrizzi
346* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: In season 3.
347* {{Foil}}: To Katie. He tries to avoid all sorts of celebrity jobs, while Katie loves the Hollywood business. Despite this, they're quite good friends, and seem to be the ''only'' friend their age that either one has.
348* StageMom: His mother tries very hard to get him any kind of casting, which results in him hiding from her all the time.
349[[/folder]]
350
351[[folder:Rocque Records and Associates]]
352!!Gustavo Rocque
353--> Played by Creator/StephenKramerGlickman
354
355The boys' manager. A disgraced music manager from the '90s trying to get back on top. He constantly refers to the boys as his "dogs" and nearly every episode has him writing a song.
356
357
358* BaldOfEvil: He isn't exactly ''evil,'' per se, but he ''is'' rather mean to everyone and barely has any hair left.
359* BigEater: Gustavo has an refrigerator in his living room that is packed to the gills with chocolate pudding.
360* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: Gustavo declares this with BTR in "Mansion". He decides that they drive him crazy with their backtalk ([[{{Jerkass}} Kendall]]), clumsiness ([[TheKlutz Carlos]]), arrogance ([[{{Narcissist}} James]]) and their singing being very below his expectations. But when he almost traded them in (as in fire and replace) with a more competent and ''polite'' band, Gustavo complains he can't stand it cause it's boring cause [[WeWantOurJerkBack there's nothing challenging to his job as band manager]].
361* TheChewToy: He gets beaten up, suffers from frequent rage-induced high blood-pressure (courtesy of Kendall), and he once even got hit by Snoop Dog's limousine.
362* FreudianExcuse: According to Kelly, he was forbidden to play as a child and was only allowed to practice piano all day long, hence his perfectionist nature and serious commitment to his job.
363* HatesEveryoneEqually: Lampshaded by Katie.
364--> '''Katie''': Don't you need to be in love to write a love song? You're not wearing a ring and... don't you hate every living thing?
365* HotBlooded: Probably his defining characteristic. His Kendall/BTR-induced rages are even enough to cause earthquakes.
366* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He clearly grows to care about the guys and even Katie, eventually admitting that he loves them.
367* LargeHam: And '''how!''' All of his lines are delivered by screaming.
368* MadeOfIron: He got hit by Snoop Dog's limousine in the Christmas episode and by a bus ''twice'' in "Big Time Scandal" and came out of both with only minor injuries (but a lot of bandages).
369* MeanBoss: [[InsufferableGenius He's constantly insulting and screaming at people he considers beneath him... which is pretty much everyone.]] Gustavo however also suffers from having a horrible boss himself: Griffin.
370** He's also bad enough that with only the mention of his name, Creator/NicoleScherzinger loses her cool and throws a telephone at his head.
371** In "Big Time Strike" he shocks the boys if they slack off.
372* NoIndoorVoice: He shouts whenever he is angry or annoyed... which makes it an everyday occurrence.
373* PapaWolf: He's fiercely protective of his "dogs", so much so that he sold his mansion and most of the assets at Rocque Records just so he can purchase the rights to Big Time Rush back after [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Griffin]] cancels the band's nationwide tour and album.
374* PetTheDog[=/=]KickTheDog: He literally calls the boys "dogs" (or "monkey-dogs"), and alternates between these two.
375** He literally says "ThrowTheDogABone" when he lets the boys keep their remodeled apartment.
376** The emergency password to his secret vault is "My Dogs" with the hint being "Something You Love".
377* PsychopathicManchild: He throws childish tantrums in almost every episode and is [[NoIndoorVoice very fond of screaming]].
378* PlatonicLifePartners: With Kelly. They are always together, and have a close, albeit tense, friendship.
379* RecordProducer: Of the Producer from Hell kind, but played for laughs. All his former artists grew to hate him due to his bad temper. Kelly points out that Big Time Rush is the first group Gustavo grew to like. Later on, he grows into Acrimonious Producer after he and the boys get along better and Griffin becomes more antagonistic.
380* SurroundedByIdiots: Gustavo is mostly like that with his boys.
381* TookALevelInKindness: He eventually mellows out towards the boys, especially in the later seasons. BTR is the first group that Gustavo has come to see more than just a typical boyband or meal ticket.
382* UngratefulBastard: BTR and Kelly both call him out for almost never thanking BTR for all their hard work. After all, BTR is the reason Gustavo can afford a huge mansion packed with expensive luxuries.
383* VitriolicBestBuds: ''Heavily'' on the vitriolic side with the boys (especially with [[RuleOfThree Kendall]]). He shouts at them constantly, and they do more than their fair share to get on his nerves, but he really does care about them.
384* WouldHitAGirl: With comedic purposes regarding his interactions with Kelly.
385** Well, in that episode, Kelly was [[ComicRolePlay "Gustavo"]].
386
387!!Kelly Wainwright
388--> Played by Creator/TanyaChisholm
389
390Gustavo's [[OnlySaneWoman saner]] assistant.
391
392* BadLiar: As seen in the "Big Time Bad Boy" episode, Kelly isn't very good at lying, especially to Gustavo's face.
393* BeleagueredAssistant: In Gustavo's worst moments.
394* BewareTheNiceOnes: She's nice but can be very fierce if pushed. Then again it's the entertainment business, so she'd have to be.
395* CuteBruiser: A OneOfTheBoys assistant who can easily knock out her boss.
396* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Gustavo. Neither show romantic feelings for each other, and have a strong friendship.
397* MamaBear: Towards the boys. She once snapped when Gustavo decided to break Carlos' heart by hiring an actress just so he could sing a break-up song properly. Her response? Threatening to smash every single one of his trophies with a baseball bat if Carlos got hurt in any way.
398* MoralityPet: To Gustavo occasionally.
399* ParentalSubstitute: She acts very maternal towards the boys and will protect them if they're threatened.
400* PromotionToOpeningTitles: Season two and beyond.
401* SatelliteCharacter: Zig-zagged. While Kelly is a main character, and she does get a lot of characterization, we don't learn too much about her that isn't in some way related to her work with Rocque Records and Big Time Rush over the course of four seasons (such as her interests, where she lives, details about her personal life, etc.).
402* ServileSnarker: She didn't need to be one to be Gustavo's assistant, but it sure helps!
403* StraightMan: Mostly overruled when the boys and Gustavo enter crazy mode.
404
405!!Arthur Griffin
406--> Played by Creator/MattRiedy
407CEO of the RCM CBT Globalnet Sanyoid Corporation, which also owns Rocque Records.
408
409* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Mercedes once said her father loved Lolo, the chimp, more than her.
410** And the chimp was the ''music inspector''.
411*** Later Griffin demotes Lolo to Nuclear Missiles inspector.
412** He also loves warm pants a lot.
413* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Even played with in Big Time Halloween. His supernatural alter ego was basically himself, but with a [[BigRedDevil red suit]].
414*** So, ''[[Creator/DanaCarvey he could be... Satan?]]'' [[TakeThat Well - it is the music industry...]]
415* DotingParent: He spoils Mercedes a lot.
416* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: And around and around and around he goes! One episode he can be the happy {{Cloudcuckoolander}} boss, and the next episode he may want to close Roque Records unless they make more money for him.
417* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It comes and goes.
418
419!!Freight Train
420--> Played by Creator/StephenKeys
421Gustavos's henchman in charge of "making people do what I say," mainly by carrying the guys back to the studio when Gustavo requires.
422
423* TheBigGuy: Of Gustavo's employees. He is "the guy who makes people do as Gustavo says."
424* GentleGiant: Despite being the big bodyguard in charge of dragging the boys to work, he is very insightful and well-mannered, [[HotBlooded unlike Gustavo]]. Carlos even admits to enjoying the free shoulder rides he gives.
425* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: They only refer to him as "Freight Train," which is very unlikely to be his real name.
426* RealMenWearPink: Despite his intimidating appearance, he admits he would be touched by the new song if he were a girl.
427* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After Season’s 1 and 2, he’s nowhere to be seen nor mentioned. He probably quit his job.
428
429!!Mercedes Griffin
430--> Played by Creator/CarlieCasey
431Arthur Griffin's daughter.
432
433* ConsummateLiar: She lied to the boys about being the musical-hit adviser so she could date each of them. When she actually tells her dad the truth, Griffin's first reaction is to verify with the others.
434-->'''Griffin''': Is all that true? Because she lies. A lot.
435* {{Expy}}: Of [[Series/NedsDeclassifiedSchoolSurvivalGuide Missy Meany]]. Justified as the same actress plays both characters.
436* FreudianExcuse: She attributes her mean and spoiled attitude to ParentalNeglect, as she even states her dad loves his chimp more than her.
437* ItsAllAboutMe: The reason she did not pick James as her boyfriend was because she would never date a guy prettier than her. James was very much happy with that.
438* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: After her outburst when Kendall tells her off, she returns to apologize and make amends by telling them how Griffin could pick them for the album release.
439[[/folder]]
440
441[[folder:Recurring Characters]]
442!!George Hawk
443--> Played by Creator/PhilLaMarr
444
445Producer of Hawk records and the BigBad of season one. His main motives are to bring Gustavo down and to ruin the boys' careers. In the season finale, he tries to get James to sign an independent contract but when the boys get back together, he kidnaps them and ends up arrested.
446
447* AnimalMotifs: He tries to make the [[ThemeNaming Hawk]] his signature style, even though nobody really likes the "Caw!!" shtick.
448* ArchNemesis: To Gustavo.
449* BigBad: Of season one.
450* DealWithTheDevil: With James; Hawk is the devil of the deal in ''Big Time Concert."
451* FromBadToWorse: In ''Big Time Superheroes''.
452* LargeHam: Even bigger than Gustavo, if you can believe it.
453
454!!Dr. Hollywood
455--> Played by Creator/LorenzoLamas
456A celebrity doctor, who is also egocentric and vain like James.
457* BadLiar: While trying to help Logan with his lie, he panics and makes the situation even worse by saying "It's serious".
458* TheDitz: He is very absent-minded on duty.
459* TheMentor: He sees a lot of potential in Logan as a future doctor and tries to convince him to work full time on the career (which also meant that he would have less time for the band). After that, he still gets along well with Logan.
460
461!!Jenny Tinkler
462--> Played by Creator/SammyJayWren
463A girl from Minnesota who was also in the boys' school and attended Gustavo's audition. Her dream is to be "the next [[Music/NoDoubt Gwen Stefani]]". She is also known to be accident-prone on a whole other level.
464
465* BornUnlucky: The boys know Jenny has been like this since kindergarten. James needed stitches in his arm ''for a papercut''.
466* BritishRockStar: She becomes the new lead singer of Death Smash because of her ''destructive talent'' and potential as the new face of the band.
467* TheBusCameBack[=/=]AscendedExtra: She started as a minor character who was rejected in the auditions of the pilot. She returns a season later in "Big Time Fans", as Carlos promised to help her in her singing career.
468* CuteClumsyGirl: Everywhere she goes, something is going to break or someone winds up going to the hospital.
469** Even after setting the building on fire '''''four times''''', the guys find it impossible to reject her and stomp on her dream.
470* LargeHam: Especially when she sings.
471* MinnesotaNice: She is as cute and nice as she is lethal.
472* PersonOfMassDestruction: A fact that terrifies everyone, including the boys.
473** James in particular suffered quite a lot.
474*** In second grade, Jenny accidentally broke his arm while playing marbles. Later in fifth grade, accidentally gave him a paper cut that was serious enough to require surgery. And then in eighth grade, as lab partners in science class; again, [[RuleOfThree accidentally]] did [[NoodleIncident something to James' hair that made him lose all of it. Logan even notes that it took almost a year for James to grow his hair back.]]
475** Her first two hours at the Palmwoods alone; she trashed an elevator, broke a water main, stabbed Bitters' left hand with his favorite pen and started three fires.
476* TheSmurfettePrinciple: When she joins Death Smash. The other two members are big badass rockers (who secretly hated their original leader for making them smash guitars and fake their accents).
477
478
479!!Mr. and Mrs. Garcia
480--> Played by Creator/ErikEstrada and Creator/JillMicheleMelean
481Carlos' parents. Both of them visit Carlos at the Palm Woods, although in separate episodes. They have a very close relationship with their son. Carlos' dad is a police officer who takes his job very seriously, maybe a little too much.
482
483* BumblingDad: He takes his job very seriously, even applying it to his son's daily tasks.
484* GoodCopBadCop: Although Officer Garcia is always missing a good-cop partner.
485* LikeFatherLikeSon: Both of them are impulsive, reckless, and carry their helmets everywhere.
486* PapaWolf: Back when Carlos was little, Officer Garcia lined up an interrogation session to find out who stole Carlos' lollipop, prompting the guilty kid to faint under the pressure.
487
488!!James' parents
489--> Played by Creator/BrianMcGovern and Creator/LisaRina
490
491* AlmightyMom[=/=]EvilMatriarch: To the point where the only time she didn't get what she planned was because the other three moms teamed against her.
492** She even got the boys to enroll in ballet instead of hockey and got them to call Logan by that name rather than by his given name, [[spoiler: Hortense (although this last one is probably for the best).]]
493* TheBaroness: She's the head of a major cosmetics company back in Minnesota--in fact, she's so successful that she's been dubbed the "Estee Lauder of the Midwest."
494* MayDecemberRomance: James claims that after his parents got divorced, his dad got remarried to a woman who's fifteen years younger than him--and that's at least part of the reason why his parents don't really talk to each other anymore.
495* MyBelovedSmother: Very much. She tends to decide things for her son without consulting him. When she makes the decision that he should move back with her, he can't even stand up to her despite clearly not wanting to go home.
496* {{Tsundere}}: His mother's excuse for taking James with her is because she plans for him to take over the business, but in reality she just misses him a lot.
497
498!!Beau

519----
520
521* ActionGirl: She's a ''spy.''
522* LoveInterest: She is James' love interest in the movie.
523* MeaningfulName: Most of the soundtrack consists of Beatles songs and takes place in England, so her name is an obvious reference to the song with the same name.
524
525!!Atticus Moon
526--> Played by Creator/TrevorDevall
527
528One of the richest men in England who blames the world’s problems on international disagreements and thus wants to start a revolution.

536* [[spoiler:KarmicDeath: Implied. [[FridgeHorror If you think about the logical circumstances, if the Beetle releases him, he'd fall to his death; if not, he'd likely float out of the Earth's atmosphere and die of asphyxiation]]. [[FridgeBrilliance Then again]], TheMovie is a homage to James Bond films and how many Bond villains do you know that live?]]
537* KnightOfCerebus: Doesn't act like one but let's analyze -- his evil plan would have resulted in countless deaths and/or injuries to people around the world, his henchmen appeared to have ''guns'', and [[FridgeHorror we don't know what he would've done to Katie after he abducted her]]. [[spoiler: Also let's come to terms with the possibility that he and some of his henchmen were some of the first villains to die on this show.]]
538** In addition, he's the first ''real'' threat the show has seen. Hawk may have been a nasty person, but he was just threatening a boy band. Moon? He threatened the ''entire'' world.
539* RightHandCat: Played for laughs as he always wants a cat in his hands at the right moment and his henchmen apparently have a cat on hand at all times.
540* SpoiledBrat: Acts like one at times.
541--->'''Atticus Moon''': I always get what I want.
542* TakeOverTheWorld: His goal.
543* VillainWithGoodPublicity: At first.
544* WellIntentionedExtremist: He claims that he wants to solve the world’s problems by uniting everyone under one leader, as opposed to bickering between nations.
