Bob Pinciotti Actor Don Stark Wasn't Sure If He'd Be Invited Back For That '90s Show

Even though they weren't the primary focus of the story, "That '90s Show" Season 1 brought back most of the main cast members from its parent series. For a while, though, Don Stark wasn't sure what the future held for him. The journeyman actor initially found out about the revival via a press release announcing the returns of some of his old co-stars. This led him to believe that he may not have been part of the creators' plans for "That '90s Show."

"I had family saying, 'Oh, wow, that's great,' and I said, 'Let's just pump the brakes because you don't know exactly what this means,'" Stark told Entertainment Weekly. "It was a long time before I was approached on whether or not I would be coming back, so when they let me know, I was really excited about that and to see everybody again."

Sadly, Tanya Roberts — who played Bob's wife, Midge, on "That '70s Show" — passed away in 2021. In an interview with Movieweb, Stark revealed that her presence was missed on the set of the revival, but her former colleagues still kept her memory alive. "I was so sad when I heard about her passing," he said. "It hurts when you think about it, but I think about her often and her presence was there on set."
