Career

2010–2013: The Virginity Hit, Victorious, and music career

Bennett starred in The Virginity Hit, released in October 2010. Described as a "documentary style comedy," Bennett stated in an interview that the film's "directors gave us cameras in our spare time, and he said do pranks, talk amongst yourselves, do things and film that. So we did, and most of the movie is what we filmed. So I feel like 20% is scripted but the rest is all real."[3]

The Virginity Hit was produced by Funny or Die founders Will Ferrell and Adam McKay; in an interview with MTV News, Bennett stated that reception towards the film has been "very positive...I'm glad that people are getting that it's not just another teen sex romp. It's a film with heart and a bit of a soul and deep-down it’s a cool love story."[4]

Bennett co-starred as Robbie Shapiro in the Nickelodeon sitcom Victorious. He was nominated for a 2011 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award (UK) in the category of "Nick UK's Funniest Person".^{[citation needed]}

In 2015, Bennett guest-starred in the Game Shakers episode "Tiny Pickles", and appeared in the films Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and The Stanford Prison Experiment. In 2016, he had a role on the show Fresh Off the Boat.^{[citation needed]}

On February 2, 2016, Bennett made a Snapchat press conference announcement about his debut studio album Terminal Cases.
