Who played Stuart Bloom?

Kevin Sussman played Stuart Bloom on The Big Bang Theory. Stuart is the socially awkward owner of the comic-book store that becomes an important gathering place for Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Raj, and their friends.

Sussman appeared as Stuart beginning in the second season, initially as a recurring guest star. The character’s financial difficulties, loneliness, and dry self-deprecating humor gradually made him a familiar part of the ensemble. Stuart is a talented comic-book artist and retailer, but the store often struggles financially and he repeatedly faces personal setbacks.

The other choices are actors who played different characters. Mark Harelik portrayed Dr. Eric Gablehauser, John Ross Bowie played Caltech physicist Barry Kripke, and Simon Helberg played Howard Wolowitz. Kevin Sussman is also known for roles in Ugly Betty and Wet Hot American Summer, but Stuart remains his best-known television character.
