Seymour Crider

Seymour Crider, preferring to be known as Crider, is the main antagonist in Barbie: The Princess & The Popstar. Crider is Keira's greedy and selfish manager. He is a former singer who sang as a boy on "The Chipper Chipmunk Show", but his career ended when he was 14 because his voice broke.

One of Crider's ideas to become rich was to marry Duchess Amelia, as she is a rich widow. Instead, he tried to steal the Diamond Gardenia to pay for a comeback concert for himself. Rupert, his foolish assistant, tries to help him to do so, but Crider is stopped by Keira and Tori. He is voiced by Peter Kelamis.

Physical Appearance
Crider has brown hair and light brown eyes. He usually wears an animal print jacket, a purple sweater and a pink shirt with a yellow tie. His pants are red and he wears gold boots. His outfit allows him to glide through the air. At the tea party at the castle, he is shown wearing a black jacket, a yellow sweater and a light yellow shirt with a purple tie; his pants are black, as well as his boots. He always wears a gold watch on his left wrist and a gold bracelet in his right one.
