Arthur P. Spudinski, or commonly known as Spud, is a fictional character from the Disney animated series American Dragon: Jake Long. He is voiced by Charlie Finn.
[edit] Personality
Spud is Jake's other best friend and is extremely loyal. Although apparently slow-witted, he often comes up with intelligent things to say at random times because he is truly a genius as shown in "A Befuddled Mind." He also has the entire works of Shakespeare committed to memory.
In Season 2, it also seems that Spud has a very comprehensive technological knowledge. He owns a laptop computer that sports surveillance capabilities and other functions. In "The Academy", Spud uses the computer to decode the encryption in the Huntsclan teleportation system, allowing them to intercept the teleportation of #88 and #89. In "Bring it On", he developed a global-positioning device to track his cheerleader crush, Stacey. In "A Befuddled Mind" it is revealed that Spud is, in fact, a genius. Despite this Spud generally prefers not use his genius IQ, as he fears that upon the discovery of his intelligence the ensuing pressure would not allow him to enjoy his life.
According to "Half Baked", Spud has a tremendous fear of clowns that started when he five years old.
There have been hints that Spud may have a magical background. In "The Talented Mr. Long", he unknowingly uses a magic incantation to seal a Djinn, thought to be lost for centuries; in "Bring it On", the Gorgon sisters remark that Spud is the splitting image of the warrior who originally sealed them away (although this might be due to the "Fighting Trojans" mascot costume he was wearing at the time); in "Something Fishy This Way Comes", he mentions his family's tales of a mermaid city in the East River. He also displayed mastery with the use of two magical wands while battling Pandarus in "A Befuddled Mind". In "The Rotwood Files", Spud maximizes the smell of an onion, using a powerful voice, to defeat one of the giant bugs Sigmund Brock sent.
Going with the cliché of friends who start dating, there was constant hinting that he might actually have romantic feelings for Trixie, but in the episode 'Homecoming' he and Trixie say flat out that they are 'friends and nothing more.'
