Overview
"Bob is deeply haunted by his past — pre- and post-zombie apocalypse. As a result, he’s a bit of a loner, although he maintains a charming/self-deprecating/confident public face."

- How the official character description from the casting call listed Stookey.
 * His appearance in the Comic Series was that of a Caucasian male in his late 50s, while his TV counterpart is that of an African-American male in his mid 30s to early 40s.
 * Bob is an alcoholic or at least has an alcohol problem (similar to his comic book counterpart), there are several examples of this:
 * In "30 Days Without An Accident", he walked past a wine aisle and, after some hesitation, picked up a bottle off the shelf only to put it back soon after.
 * Also, in "Indifference", he steals a bottle of whiskey instead of the medicine which angers Daryl.
 * In, "Alone"" he is seen drinking a bottle of over the counter cold medicine. Some cold medicines contain alcohol.
 * He is the second actor who has appered on HBO's series "The Wire", the other being Chad L. Coleman, who portrays Tyreese.
