‘The Killer Robot Instability’ with Barry Kripke’s John Ross Bowie
About this episode
Helping to break down his very first episode on “The Big Bang Theory” is Barry Kripke’s John Ross Bowie. John reveals that he actually auditioned for the role of Leonard initially. He also shares how he landed the role of Barry and how his character came to have a speech impediment. He talks about how friendly the entire cast was, including Kayley Cuoco, who gave him a ride from the parking lot across the street to the studio. Plus, John discusses the brilliance of seeing Jim Parsons playing the role of Sheldon up close. You can watch all episodes of “The Big Bang Theory” on HBO Max.
