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 appeared on HBO's series "The Wire", the other being Chad L. Coleman, who portrays Tyreese Williams.
- Bob is the second main character to die while being listed under "Also Starring", the first being Gareth, the third being Deanna Monroe, the fourth being Jessie Anderson, and the fifth being Spencer Monroe.
- Bob's death in the TV Series is very similar to Dale's death in the Comic Series.
