Character's backstory: Frankenstein mixed with Albert Einstein. Formerly employed by the US Government as a Top Secret Research Scientist (worked as part of a classified U.S. Army experimental program called Kelvin Genetics, primarily called Fringe Science...the subjects of which include (but not limited to) mind control, teleportation, invisibility, astral projection, genetic mutation and reanimation). Spent 17 years in a mental hospital after an "incident" in his lab supposedly cost the life of one of his assistants. Found mentally unable to stand trial, he has been isolated for 17 years. Recently freed to help authorities investigate the PATTERN, as many of the incidents greatly resemble several of the research projects he originally worked on.

NOTABLE QUOTABLES

  • "They have this horrible pudding here. butterscotch pudding on Mondays."

  • "Whatever punishment you think I deserve, I swear i have already endured it. 17 years. please son."

  • "Oh! i just pissed myself... just a squirt."

  • "There was something important... Oh yes! I've decided on the pancakes. Blueberry!"

  • "Can you get me some cotton candy? Blue, not PINK !!!!"

  • [Looking around his lab] "So much happened here... and so much is about to."

  • [To Peter over the phone] "Hello, Peter. This is me...your father....Walter Bishop."
DEFINING EPISODES | MEMORABLE SCENES

  • He first gets his lab back in the basement in Harvard. Starts asking for all this weird equipment... and a cow.

  • Whenever he starts an experiment he's always laughing- letting go the programmed pigeons in an episode and then causing a fruit to explode in the one after it.

  • When he tries to examine Peter and Peter freaks on him.

  • The astral projection of a frog! Hilarious!!

Dr. Bishop computer profile
In the pilot episode, Agent Dunham comes across this article, written by Dr. Bishop about dissolved flesh. Interestingly enough, if zoomed in and read, the article is taken word for word from this website about nanomedicine.
