Cast And Crew
- Sam Puckett (Jennette McCurdy) is an aggressive tomboy who loves pranks and hates working. She secretly has a heart of gold and a soft spot for Cat, but she'll threaten violence to anyone. Sam is not afraid of anything, and is handy at fighting or bossing her way out of any situation.
- Cat Valentine (Ariana Grande) is sweet, naive, bubbly and almost always happy. She has a playful nature, often takes things very literally, and faints when she is frightened. She has a very short attention span, and has bright red hair dyed to resemble her favorite snack, a red velvet cupcake. She can be very emotional and doesn't take criticism very well. Despite her ditziness, she is very intelligent and empathetic.
- Dice (Cameron Ocasio) is Sam and Cat's neighbor. He's cool, calm and connected, and he knows all the tenants and all the gossip. He makes extra money by wheeling and dealing, often selling unusual items like hair cuttings from celebrities, hats with misspelled logos, and odd gadgets. He is a talented pitchman.
- Dan Shneider (DanWarp)- On August 3, 2012, Nickelodeon announced that Dan Schneider, the creator of iCarly and Victorious, would be making a pilot for a spin off of both shows called Sam & Cat. The pilot was ordered in August 2012. The series was picked up for 20 episodes on November 29, 2012, with the show planned to premiere in 2013.
