‘The Big Bang Theory’s John Ross Bowie To Join Max Spinoff, Reprising Barry Kripke Role


John Ross Bowie, who played Barry Kripke on The Big Bang Theory, is joining alums Kevin Sussman, Brian Posehn and Lauren Lapkus in the Max spinoff.

John Ross Bowie, who played plasma physicist Barry Kripke on The Big Bang Theory, is joining fellow alums Kevin Sussman (Stuart Bloom), Brian Posehn (Bert Kibbler) and Lauren Lapkus (Denise) on the offshoot from franchise boss Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. Television. Since the project is still in development and has not been officially greenlighted, Bowie — just like Sussman, Posehn and Lapkus — has signed a WBTV talent holding deal with the purpose of starring in the proposed offshoot. His character Barry Kripke quickly became a fan favorite when it was introduced in Season 2 and continued to recur for the rest of the series’ 12-season run.
