Rex Powers Fan Casting

Biography

Rex Powers (physically portrayed by a ventriloquist dummy named Christopher Cane, performed by Matt Bennett, voiced by an uncredited Jake Farrow) 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 Rex and Robbie 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. In "Rex Dies" he gets sucked into a wind machine and is taken to a hospital, even though he is a dummy. Rex is shown to have a huge crush on Tori and constantly flirts with her, though she is annoyed by his affection. Robbie often turns to Rex for advice and insight, though Rex's advice is almost always off-beat. Rex is sarcastic and mean, especially to Robbie, though it is shown that neither can stay without the other. In the first 3 seasons, Rex is always in Robbie's company. In season 4 for unexplained reasons, Robbie is frequently seen without Rex. Part 2 of 'Freak the Freak Out' was the first episode not to feature Rex. In 2011, Rex hosted a bloopers episode of Victorious titled "Blooptorious" in which he interviewed cast members and showed outtakes from the series. In the episode, Rex is named Christopher Cane and is not accompanied by Robbie. He also mentions that, prior to being offered the role of Rex in Victorious, he was almost given the role of Spencer Shay in iCarly, but was ultimately not chosen in favour of Jerry Trainor, whom he hates for that reason. As Christopher Cane, he also hosted a 2011 blooper episode of iCarly titled "iBloop 2: Electric Bloopaloo". Rex later had a guest appearance at the end of the 2015 Game Shakers episode 'Tiny Pickles' (Season 1, Episode 5) where he is a truck driver.
