Robert Baccalieri Jr., portrayed by Steve Schirripa,[1] is a fictional character on the HBO series The Sopranos.

In "For All Debts Public and Private", Bobby mentions that in 2002 his mother is 69 and that following the September 11 attacks her mental health has gone downhill.

Junior eventually rewarded him by putting Bobby in charge of his loan shark operation during the later part of his prosecution.

Bobby was very loyal to his wife, Karen, and (as revealed in "Christopher") was the only made man in the Soprano crew without a comare.

When Ralphie walks back into the Bada Bing after beating Tracee to death, Bobby could be seen talking to another stripper.

Bobby lost his wife in a car accident and took it especially hard, refusing to eat a tray of ziti she put in the freezer prior to her passing.

Bobby stormed into his motel room, beat him up, and tried to extort money from him but learned that Paulie Gualtieri had been responsible for withholding the funds needed to repair the ride.

One of the gang members fired a shot at the sidewalk near Bobby's face and a concrete fragment injured his right eye.

Tony frequently asserted to Bobby, Janice, and Carmela that he would have won the fight had he not slipped on the rug nor undergone such physical impotence after being shot by Uncle Junior.

As a partial result of this awkward incident, Bobby was tasked with going to Montreal to murder the brother-in-law of one of Tony's Québécois associates, an important hit that formed part of a deal to save money on a pharmaceuticals racket.

While Paulie Walnuts nominally held the title of Underboss, Bobby attended high-level meetings and sit-downs alongside Tony and Silvio Dante, identifying him as a high-ranking capo.

Conscious of his rise from soldier to captain and then underboss, Bobby worked hard to keep Tony's trust and respect, rather than simply coasting on his goodwill as Moltisanti had.

When his name was brought up at a meeting of top New York associates and one of them (played by Dominic Chianese Jr.) mocked his rise by noting that he'd originally been Junior Soprano's driver, Albie Cianflone defended Bobby, noting that almost all "Mafiosi" started doing work considered low-level or menial.

FBI agent Dwight Harris informed Tony at Satriale's that a snitch in Brooklyn had implied that Phil had ordered a major hit on the New Jersey crew.

Bobby left his cell phone behind as he entered a hobby shop, preventing him from receiving the warning call.

While Bobby was looking at a vintage Blue Comet train set, two men entered the store and opened fire.

Several gunshots sent Bobby's bullet riddled body crashing on top of a model train display.

Around that time he was invited for an audition in New York City, initially for Agent Skip Lipari, and later for the role of Baccalieri.
