Bobby Dagen is the protagonist of Saw 3D. He is a survival health guru who made a claim to fame after alledging that he had survived a Jigsaw trap and subsequently became a media sensation selling his story to the tabloids. What few people (only his lawyer, best friend and publicist) knew that Bobby was a fraud; he had never actually been tested in a game, and his story was a complete fabrication. Even his wife was unaware of his scheme. His lies and undeserved local fame caused him to be targeted for a series of actual Jigsaw traps. He is played by veteran actor Sean Patrick Flanery.
