- Additionally, Samm Levine has appeared as "Chambers" in the Liv and Maddie episode Steal-a-Rooney, "Zorro" in the Kirby Buckets episode All Hands on Dexter, and "Noah Stone" in the K.C. Undercover episode Catch Him If You Can, and has done voices for the Disney cartoon Fillmore!
- Coincidently, in both his Liv and Maddie and K.C. Undercover appearances, Samm Levine's fellow guest star was Cozi Zuehlsdorff.
