As it turns out, we've located the elusive Ranger Bob: http://www.attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2009/05/11/article-features-disney-streetmosphere-actor-vladimir-pooey/ "The Democrat and Chronicle newspaper out of Rochester, N.Y. has a good story about one of its former citizens, Tim Trombitas. But you may know him better as Vladimir Pooey, one of the Streetmosphere characters at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Who knew he used to be famous as Ranger Bob, was a football star, a disc jockey and is an ordained deacon." Thanks for the comments!
