Whiz

Whiz is one of the main characters of the live/action-animated series, Kidd Video and is portrayed and voiced by Robbie Rist.

Background
Whiz plays guitar and keyboards and sings many of the lead vocals. He is also the classic animated "smart guy" -- he can make anything out of... well, anything! He makes a lot of contraptions to get the gang out of trouble. He also made Toolbot.

Personality
Whiz can sometimes seem a little selfish or short-tempered. In "The Pink Sphinx," he gets upset because he feels that everyone else is just having fun and they're not trying hard enough to find a way home. In "Music Sports," he gets angry that the Copy Cats are winning by cheating and he keeps suggesting that the kids should cheat too to catch up. In the end though, Whiz always sticks by his friends and often gets them out of jams with his ingenuity. Mainly, he is also clumsy, helpful, forgetful, intelligent, smart and determined.

Physical Appearance
Whiz has blond hair and wears round glasses. In the Flipside he wears an orange-brown blazer and pants and a green shirt. In the second season, Whiz changes the most in appearance of any of the characters. Whiz also gets his sidekick, Toolbot, in the second season.

Trivia

 * In the second season, Whiz becomes slimmer and shorter and also looks a little younger than everyone else (including the real counterparts in the live-action version along with the music videos) in the group. Robbie Rist once said that it was because he lost weight then.
