Q&A – Lawrence Gilliard Jr. (Bob Stookey)

Actor Lawrence Gilliard Jr., who plays Bob Stookey on AMC’s The Walking Dead, talks about his apocalypse-ready clarinet skills and how his character from The Wire would react to zombies. Q: You’ve been in a lot of crime-centric shows. Were you excited to do something different on The Walking Dead ? A: Yeah absolutely.

As co-creator of the Dramatica theory of story, I didn't want to influence my development of Dramatica so I avoided direct interaction with competing theories. In 2006 I decided to lift my self-imposed ban. I figured my understanding of Dramatica was mature enough that I didn’t have to worry about "contaminating" it by exposure to the competing theories. It was past time that I figured out how other story theories are similar and dissimilar to Dramatica...
