More of comic book store manager Stuart on "Big Bang Theory"

 

 

Leonard, Sheldon & Co. may be hanging out at the comic book store more often next season. Kevin Sussman, who plays the more likable comic book store manager Stuart compared to the stereotyped “Comic Book Guy” Jeff Albertson from the Simpsons, will now be more of a regular on the show for the upcoming sixth season of the hit CBS comedy. He will not be a core character like other past actors on the show have been in the past. Sussum has been recurring on the show since Season 2, appearing in 15 episodes so far and there is always hope that he could be bumped to a main character.

Stuart played a key part in the relationship between Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Amy (Bialik) as it was Stuart’s date with Amy that prompted Sheldon to make her his girlfriend. His character also was behind a bet that produced one of the most popular images from the show with the main gang dressed as  Catwoman, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl.

Be on TV and meet Kevin Smith this weekend

Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma, Red State) just announced via Facebook that he is going to be in his hometown of Red Bank, New Jersey at his comic book store, "Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash" (featured on television's "Comic Book Men" and located at 35 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ) for a signing for his new book "Tough Sh*t: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good." If you've never met Smith or have yet to get his autograph, or if you need to purchase a copy of his new book, you can do both this Sunday, August 26, 2012 from 2:00 - 5:00 p.m. at the Stash. Just try to get there early, at the very least to secure a great spot at the front of the line.
