[[folder:Oliver Lorvis]]
->'''Played by:''' Billy Bob Thornton

A urologist with many celebrity clients and who develops a crush on Penny
----
* {{Foil}}: He mirrors all four of the male characters, essentially representing how they would have turned out if they never met Penny and the other girls.
** Like Sheldon, he has a poor understand of jokes and generally has bad social skills. However by Season 8 Sheldon had made enough progress that he was making jokes that Lorvis didn't understand, while being baffled when Lorvis laughed at something he said that wasn't a joke.
** Like Leonard, he seems to have had very little physical contact in his life to the point he counts in mississippi's when a woman touches him as well, as well as generally standing around in an awkward manner. However Leonard had improved since then to be more comfortable around people and even back in Season 2 he only counted for things like hugging, while Lorvis counts even when a woman is simply touching his arm.
** Like Raj, he develops crushes with any woman he believes is showing him interest while being desperate for love. Unlike Raj however, Lorvis views any positive interaction as romantic interest, and is so desperate for love he would literally accept anyone.
** Like Howard, he's an adult man living with his mother and collects memorabilia, thinking that will help him attract women. However Howard had developed to the point he no longer saw any similarities between himself and Lorvis, much to Raj's surprise, and having lived with with his mother for much longer Lorvis has clearly become more depressed than Howard ever was.
* DesperatelyCravesAffection: Lorvis just wants to be loved, but he's so desperate for it that he firmly believes that any positive interaction with a woman could lead to a romantic relationship.
