During "The Big Bang Theory" panel at PaleyFest, Johnny Galecki, Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and Kunal Nayyar were joined on stage by show producers Chuck Lorre, Steven Molaro, Steve Holland, and Bill Prady.

One of the biggest reveals of the night was the addition of Jerry O’Connell to the cast as Sheldon’s brother, Georgie whose younger counterpart is played by Montana Jordan in "Young Sheldon".

“This is the first time it is being announced, so don’t tell anyone,” said executive producer Holland of the news.

Q-Ball has aged well!

That's not to typecast, "Sliders" wasn't the most popular show but it was easily one of the most intellectual and risk-taking shows from the 1990s...

Wonder if he'll bring Dr. Jeffcoate to Big Bang with him?

Oh wait...wrong show.

Seriously... I had my doubts that Jerry could play an adult Georgie. However, watching his debut episode, followed by young Georgie on Young Sheldon... He was surprisingly physically convincing.

I don't know the actor but I think he hit the character spot-on. The accent was perfect !!!!

I agree. A very good actor. First saw him in "Stand By Me".
