Bruce is a survivor of the outbreak in The Walking Dead. He is resident of the Alexandria Safe-Zone and a member of the construction crew, alongside Tobin, Clyde, Jamie, Holly, and Abraham.

Nothing is known about Bruce's life prior to or as the outbreak began. Bruce is shown to be rather cynical and blunt. While talking with Abraham, he reveals he has a low opinion of Alexandria, calling the place "fucked". He is irked by Douglas' interview process due to the women often being put in positions he'll see them frequently while people like him are sent to do hard labor due to being the most "expendable". Despite this, Bruce is generally a kind and friendly individual.

Like most Safe-Zone residents details of Bruce's time in the community before Rick's group's arrival is unknown. The only known detail is that Bruce was not part of the original founding group of the community, as he told Abraham that he had arrived later. Bruce is first seen as one of the four heavily armed men led by Tobin who save both Rick and Aaron's groups from being overwhelmed by the undead masses in Washington, D.C., while they attempted to save Scott. Bruce later returned to the Alexandria Safe-Zone to escort the two vehicles. 

Abraham is introduced to Bruce as a member of the Community's assigned construction group, which included Tobin, Holly, and the two other unnamed men who saved Abraham and Rick. Bruce revealed to Abraham that like him, he arrived at the Community much later from its initial establishment.

Unlike most residents of the community, Bruce spoke openly with Abraham about the dystopian nature of Alexandria - one of his observations being that Douglas placed attractive women in prominent occupations within the community. Bruce also believed that the people assigned to the construction site were not sent because they were necessarily the most physically able, but rather that they are who Douglas viewed as the most expendable. Bruce was featured more prominently than his other two unnamed construction peers, and helped Rick and Abraham defend the walls from the hostile Scavengers. He was also seen attending the church services run by Gabriel Stokes.

Bruce was one of the first victims of the horde attack in the Safe-Zone. He was part of the party that tried to clear the zombie herd that was attracted in the wake of the deadly firefight with the Scavengers. While the party tried to get back inside the gate, Bruce was severely bitten on the neck. Despite this, he managed to push the attacking zombie away and make it inside the gate. Once inside, he fell to the floor and gasped for breath, tearing up and screaming "I don't want to die!", while choking to death on his own blood. He was quickly killed by Abraham out of mercy, who bashed the front of his skull in with a single blow from his weapon. His remains were presumably buried.
