After his parents booked his first-ever audition, a television news promo for 6ABC, he decided to pursue acting[5](https://wikipod.mm.vg/article/who-is-travis-wolfe-jrs-father-details-on-the-parents-of-the-young-actor/).

## Bob Hearts Abishola
**Dele.** Wolfe's breakout role came in his first year in Los Angeles. His agent sent him to an audition that required a Nigerian accent, a skill he had never used before; he received a callback and booked the part of Dele, the young son of Nigerian immigrant nurse Abishola ([Folake Olowofoyeku](https://www.edgepedia.org/folake-olowofoyeku)), who is courted by compression-sock businessman Bob Wheeler ([Billy Gardell](https://www.edgepedia.org/billy-gardell))[7](https://eurweb.com/travis-wolfe-jr-shines-in-new-cbs-comedy-bob-heart-abishola/). The show was created and produced by [Chuck Lorre](https://www.edgepedia.org/chuck-lorre), and Wolfe called it his first-ever series regular role[7](https://eurweb.com/travis-wolfe-jr-shines-in-new-cbs-comedy-bob-heart-abishola/). He was the only child among the show's regulars, and the series taped at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank[7](https://eurweb.com/travis-wolfe-jr-shines-in-new-cbs-comedy-bob-heart-abishola/).
Dele's storyline tracked his coming of age under his mother's firm expectations, including a season 3 episode in which his dream of becoming a doctor was dashed and the family scrambled to find him a new career path[8](https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/releases/?view=59664). Wolfe appeared throughout the show's five-season run, which ended with a series finale on May 6, 2024, in which Dele appeared, in the words of TV Insider's coverage, very grown up[9](https://www.tvinsider.com/1134267/). IMDb credits him with 62 episodes; TVmaze lists his starring credit as 80 episodes[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6937648/) • [2](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/235609/travis-wolfe-jr).
