He is portrayed by Kevin Sussman, who also portrays Walter in Ugly Betty.
== Personality ==
Stuart's the owner of the comic book store who debuted in season 2. Stuart started pessimistic, never improving til late in the series. Stuart's overall kind-hearted, helpful, easy going, and well intentioned. He’s arguably the only main character to never have moments of being unpleasant and rude.
In most seasons, Stuart didn't have good luck til the second last season, in which Stuart got an assistant, more visitors and confidence. He's the only main male character who doesn't appear in all episodes and the only one who isn't in the university. While the other main characters are more important, season 9 and onward does have Bernadette and Amy with limited screen time on occasions, and Stuart appearing more often.
In season 12, he and his assistant Denise started their relationship. Stuart's Health hasn't improved fully even at the end of the series and he now lives with Denise and her buddy Mitch. He made his last appearance while talking to Bernadette and Howard about Halley's tooth and where it went in the series finale close to the end of the series.
== Trivia ==

* In "The Commitment Determination", Howard mentions that one of Stuart's aunts recently died since Debbie Wolowitz passed away.
* Stuart's middle name was revealed to be David in "The Commitment Determination".

* Stuart is the third main character (after Leonard and Sheldon) to have his birthday celebrated.
* Stuart knows where the soup kitchen is ("The Occupation Recalibration").
* Stuart stated that he has a brother and a sister. Emily and Amy are the only characters of the entire main cast who remain unknown of whether they have any siblings or not (Leonard, Penny and Sheldon each have one brother and one sister, Howard has a half-brother, Leslie has one sister and Bernadette and Raj each have five siblings (Raj: 3 brothers and 2 sisters; Bernadette: Four unidentified siblings (brothers/sisters) and a brother)).
* At Howard's bachelor party, Stuart reveals during his toast that he has "the bone density of an 80 year-old man", hinting that he may suffer from Osteoperosis or more likely its precursor Osteopenia.

* Stuart can't see well at night.
* While his name appears during the opening credits making him a main cast member, it only appears the weeks he is in the episode.

* He thought of Team Leonard as his surrogate family. With Howard and Bernadette, they are like his surrogate brother. To their kids, he is their surrogate Uncle and their caretaker.
