Russ

Russ is a character that appeared in the episode Stage Fighting. He was a visitor at Hollywood Arts there to teach the students the art of stage fighting.

Russ's teaching method
His teaching method involved demonstration. He taught that it was all about angling the fight scene so it looked like they were fighting. He also used sound effects and told his example (Cat) to react like he told her.

Interaction with main characters:
Tori - Tori walks in on Russ and Beck having a fake fight and jumps on his back. Russ seems shocked and enraged and screams "WHO IS THIS CHICK?" Tori was trying to protect Beck from the fight.

Beck - Beck and Russ had met before Stage Fighting; Beck said they took an acting class together and they were practicing. This must mean Russ can't be much older than Beck to be in his class. Russ is first seen having a fake fight with Beck.

Cat - Russ chooses Cat to be his example in demonstrating fake fighting. He pretends to punch her two times - one that looks fake, and another that looks real. He teaches her to block stage punches. She thanks him for not actually hurting her which may mean she doesn't very well trust him.

Andre - When the teacher asks if the class had any questions for Russ, Andre blurts that he "thought his name was Steve." The rest of the class agrees that Russ does in fact look like a Steve. Russ gets enraged and defends that his name is Russ.

Trivia:

 * Russ and Beck have taken an acting class together. Apparently it had something to do with stage fighting since Beck and he had a fake fight before Russ taught them.
 * Russ is probably a student teacher since he and Beck have been in a class together before.
 * He has only been seen on screen in Stage Fighting.
 * Russ has a short temper and shouts when angry.
 * According to Andre (and the rest of the class,) he looks like a Steve.
 * He has a sweatband with his name on it.
 * He appears in two theSlap pictures - one with Tori, one of himself. He is wearing his RUSS sweatband in both.
