Although he’s been based in the US for the past decade, having starred alongside Eliza in post-apocalyptic drama The 100 for seven seasons, he’s recently spent time back in Australia filming In Limbo, as well as the second season of Love Me.
“I love coming back to Australia,” he says. “Aussie crews are great, and it’s a great opportunity for me and my family to hang out with our families and for Henry to meet his cousins.”
For Bob, In Limbo was a show he felt he had to do as soon as he read the script. It’s a comedy drama about a man, Charlie (Ryan Corr), who’s haunted by the ghost of his best friend Nate (Bob), after Nate takes his own life.

“I’ve had my own mental health conditions and it’s something that really resonated with me,” Bob, 38, says. “I wanted to be part of telling this story and moving that conversation into the public, because I do think it’s really important.”
Bob, who first found fame as Drew Curtis in Home And Away, hadn’t done much comedy before In Limbo and admits to being “terrified”.
“I don’t necessarily think I’m a funny person, but Ryan was really supportive, Lucas [Taylor] had written a great script and [director] Trent O’Donnell was just like, ‘Get some confidence, man!’
