[edit] Character Information

His full name is Oliver Oscar Oken, and he is referred to as the "Triple O" in the episode Ooo, Ooo, Itchy Woman (the nickname is a play on the professional wrestler Triple H). He gives out his cellphone number in Mascot Love, which he first says is 555-0121, but later in the episode, he says it's 555-4127, due to a change in cellphone plans. In the episode Ooo, Ooo, Itchy Woman, Oliver was on-camera trying to imitate Steve Irwin.

Oliver and Lilly Truscott have been friends since pre-school, and he has been friends with Miley Stewart since she moved to California. Initially, Oliver was in love with Hannah Montana; however, this ended after he learned that Hannah was really Miley. Oliver's self-proclaimed nicknames are "Smokin' Oken" or "The Ollie Trolley". He helps students open lockers at their school, and is therefore also known as "Locker Man" and "The Locker Doctor". He is fond of impressing the ladies, and thinks that they all like him as well. Oliver got his first girlfriend, Becca Weller, with Miley's help; however, they almost broke up soon after because of Miley's meddling. When Becca asked why she would steal her PDA, Oliver said it was because Miley was madly in love with him.[3] He has had a great fear of gum chewing ever since his Aunt Harriet accidentally spat gum on him when he was a baby, and Oliver is often bullied by Chad the Chomper (Kyle Kaplan) and Donnie (Creagen Dow), who eats several cans of beans to annoy Oliver with his flatulence. Oliver is also very sensitive about public speaking and being embarrassed, but he is otherwise loyal to Miley and Lilly. He shares Lilly's interests in skating and surfing[4]; Oliver apparently likes Jessica Simpson, as he said in Torn Between Two Hannahs that he had a dream that a room was filled with many Jessica's (and he had more than one chest hair). Also, Oliver appeared in an episode in which he has to take care of "a flour baby". Oliver is revealed to have a strong desire to become a father. Miley often grabs Oliver by the shirt-front and pulls him close to her, causing him to make comments like: "You ripped out my only chest hair!", and "If I stay friends with you, I'll never have chest hair, will I?!", and even "I only have one chest hair, and I need it for gym class!" (Me and Rico Down by the School Yard). He is apparently very over-protective of his one and only chest hair. In episodes featuring Jake Ryan, he also frequently tries to take advantage of Jake's popularity, even proclaiming over a microphone that Jake is Oliver's close personal friend -- who says that he is the second coolest guy at their school.[5] When Jake attends the school's '70s dance, Oliver plans to get a date because after Jake picks his date "...there'll be a hundred depressed girls looking for a shoulder to cry on". In the end, Oliver attends the dance alone.

His mom is a police officer, as mentioned in the second season. "I'm not crammed inside your...My mom's a cop!" Oliver likes to rap, as seen in When You Wish You Were the Star, Achy Jakey Heart parts 1 and 2 and Everybody Was Best-Friend Fighting. He uses the term "fricky fricky fresh" in most of his raps ("Achy Jakey Heart").

In an interview, Emily Osment stated that there will be an episode focused on Oliver, in which he is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This episode is likely "No Sugar, Sugar". The episode was inspired by Nick Jonas when he and his brothers guest starred.


[edit] Mike Standley the Third

Lola (Lilly Truscott) helped him create his alias by dressing him up as rapper Mike Standley the Third[2], as his disguise in the episode Everybody Was Best-Friend Fighting in order to attend events with Hannah and Lola. His first disguise was a vampire, since it was very last minute. When he introduced himself to a Latin tennis player that Hannah and Lola both adore, he first said his name was "Mike Stand" (he had to think of a name quick so he looked at the mic stand for some inspiration). He quickly corrected himself as it came to him (Mike...Stand ...ley. Mike Standley.. the third!), and thus, he came up with the name "Mike Standley the Third"[2]. He also donned a fake goatee that he made out of armpit hair that Lola initially said no one would notice, but Hannah (Miley Stewart) ended up noticing. He switched outfits with one of the members of the crew, and his alias's wardrober consisted of a zip-up hoodie, sweatpants, upside-down visor, aviators, and his armpit hair goatee (though this varies, depending on the times). Mike Standley the Third was seen again in "(We're So Sorry) Uncle Earl".

In an interview, Emily Osment stated that there will be an episode focused on Oliver, in which he is diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The episode was inspired by Nick Jonas when he and his brothers guest starred.

[edit] Relationships/Crushes

Oliver has many crushes throughout the series, most not blossoming into much anything.

  • Lilly Truscott (Emily Osment) - In pre-school, but Lilly said she only held Oliver's hand because she wanted his crayons and crayon box with the sharpener inside of the box. "He had the 64-pack. With the sharpener!" Lilly said. The two are now best friends. As always with boy/girl friendships, there is question from the fanbase about a possible relationship, but so far there's little chemistry, though many fans have "proof" that Oliver and Lilly are in love.
  • Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus) - This was before he learned that she was really Miley Stewart, whom had previously been obsessing over. There is no chemistry between Oliver and Miley on the show.
  • "Saint" Sarah (Morgan York) - He begins to like Sarah while they were partners assigned to take care of a bag of flour for class, pretending it's a baby. After the assignment is over, both get bored because they did not share any other common interests. She used the nicknames, "Big Daddy Oken" and "Ollikens".
  • Becca Weller (Kirby Bliss Blanton) - Oliver and Becca were set-up by Miley and Lilly when they learned that Becca liked him from Hannah's e-mail. They only dated in one episode, Oops! I Meddled Again. The other episode that she appeared in was Miley Get Your Gum, when Oliver "The Locker Doctor" opened her locker, and she replied "You're amazing, Oliver". Becca has not been mentioned in any other episodes, leaving fans to wonder what became of her relationship with Oliver.
  • Luanne Stewart (Miley Cyrus) - Showed an interest in Miley's cousin, Luanne. He later decides that he does not like her when he finds out how mean and cruel she is. Luanne appears to also displayed some level of interest with Oliver. In fact it was the key difference between her and Miley that enabled Oliver and Lilly to distinguish them after Oliver proposed that both cousins kiss him. To which Luanne immediately became excited while Miley responded with a short 'ewww!'
  • Susan Stewart (Brooke Shields) - In the episode, I Am Hannah, Hear Me Croak, Oliver comments that Miley's mother is pretty, in a dreamy voice, but it was during Miley's dream.
  • Heather Truscott (Heather Locklear) - When Lilly wonders about what her mother should wear on her date with Robbie Ray, Oliver points out that she should wear her holiday dress ("Oh, tell your mom to wear that red dress she wore at my folks' Christmas party. She looked so hot-liday...ish, very festive"), but this was only after Jackson already made a comment about her being hot.
  • Joannie Polumbo (Hayley Chase) - In the episode Joannie B. Goode, Oliver falls in love with Joannie, who Miley and Lilly hate.
