Rico (Hannah Montana)

Rico is a fictional character from the Disney Channel Original Series Hannah Montana. He is played by Moises Arias.

His father owns Rico's Surf Shop, the store that Jackson works at. He first appears in season 1 as a recurring character that annoys Jackson. In season 2, he is added as a main character and the opening credits because he got moved up a few grades and now goes to Miley and Jackson's school.

In the second season, he starts bothering Miley more. He also has a huge crush on her, even kissing her on the lips, causing Miley to get mad and chase him around the school. In the ending of Get Down Study-udy-udy, he recognized Miley's voice, dancing skills, in the tune of Nobody's Perfect, and it reminded him of Hannah Montana, but she, Lilly, and Oliver started laughing and Rico replies with "Yeah, what was I thinking?". He is also revealed to have a photographic memory (Get Down Study-udy-udy), he is lactose intolerant (Song Sung Bad), and that he is Latino, saying things like "make it hot, like my latin blood!" (Me and Rico Down by the School Yard), and singing Life's What You Make It in Spanish (Song Sung Bad). It is also evident that he has an interest in ballroom dancing, specifically Tango (We Are Family: Now Get Me Some Water!).

Later in the 2nd season, Rico gets a crush on Sarah (as seen in Song Sung Bad), but when Jackson tries to tell Sarah Rico loves her, Sarah thinks Jackson loves her instead. Rico later in the episode got another crush, on a another girl, Rosilita (who is the same age as he is).
