Benjamin Schmideg plays Russell "Russ" Skinner, Toby's loyal and brave best friend who loves skateboarding and pizza, even if he is not the sharpest. Saskia Burmeister is Dina Demiris, a smart and attractive friend to Toby and Russ who finds boys annoying and despises Elizabeth; she leaves for Hong Kong in the second season and is replaced by Sasha.
