TV Insider: Johnny Galecki - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 12-15-2007, 10:24 PM

Character: Nerdy physicist Leonard on CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory”
Age: 32

Hometown: Chicago

Where you’ve seen him before: Galecki is best known for playing Darlene’s (Sara Gilbert) boyfriend David on “Roseanne.” Gilbert plays a recurring role on “Big Bang.” Galecki also plays the obnoxious Trouty on the TBS comedy “My Boys.” He’s had roles in such movies as “The Opposite of Sex” and “Bounce.”

Fun fact: He was born in Belgium. His father was stationed there while serving in the Air Force.

On what he learned from being on “Roseanne”: “Rose (Barr) and John (Goodman) and Laurie (Metcalf) couldn’t be more different types of actors. Laurie, being from the theater in Chicago where I’m from, and John, being a very disciplined film actor. And Rose, who just likes to wing it, likes to go onstage and wing it as a comic. So to be able to pick and choose and create my own imagination of what worked for me was just a priceless experience. I wasn’t an actor before I did that show, before I started it. But when I started that show, learning from those three especially was amazing.”

On if he’s as smart as his character: “I’m not nearly as intelligent as the character, obviously, but I did really well all the way through the middle of eighth grade.”

Where you’ll see him in five years: Starring opposite Gilbert in a sitcom about high school sweethearts who reunite after 15 years.
