First Look at<\/strong> Larry Gilliard Jr.<\/a> as The Walking Dead’s New Character Bob Stookey<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>With the release of Entertainment Weekly<\/em>‘s next cover story, season 4 of “The Walking Dead,”<\/strong> and we got a good look at some of the returning characters and a little bit of information on a new threat. Now, EW<\/a> has debuted the first official image of one of the new characters in the series, Bob Stookey<\/strong>, as played by Larry Gilliard Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Described as a “former Army medic,” Stookey’s name should be familiar to fans of the comic book series and prequel novels, but he will be undergoing some changes in the show. Instead of hailing from Woodbury and working for the governor, Stookey will instead be found by Daryl Dixon about a week before the events of season 4 start.<\/p>\n

\u201cHis backstory is not entirely the same as in the comic and the novel,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> explains new showrunner Scott M. Gimple. \u201cI think he\u2019s seen things go bad over and over, and winding up in this stable place doesn\u2019t shake him from his experience. He struggles with that.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see there\u2019s something deeper and darker that\u2019s going on with this character, just from the first episode,\u201d says Gilliard. \u201cWe don\u2019t really know what it is. We just know he\u2019s got some issues that he\u2019s dealing with.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Check out the image below and let us know what you think.<\/p>\n

“The Walking Dead” will have a panel at Comic-Con on Friday and we’ll be there, so stay tuned for the play-by-play. The series returns to AMC this October.<\/p>\n
