John Ross Bowie (Barry Kripke)
Barry Kripke is one of TBBT’s antagonists, and he’s a character we’ve all grown to love and hate at the same time. He works as a string theorist and a plasma physicist, but for some strange reason, he has difficulty pronouncing the letters L and R and sounding like a real-life version of Elmer Fudd. That must be hard for someone named Barry Kripke!
He made his first appearance on the show in the second season, doing his best to use his intelligence to rile up the TBBT gang. Since the second season, Barry has been a recurring character on the show.
