Most actors would jump in a chance to act in the Sitkcom pilot, even if they don't know what the future pilot's future brings about the book about all the narrative about. "Big Bang's theory, "One of the Starswoles of That Show, Nyoni Galeckiwas so unwilling to join the "For Nervousness" show that he refused incredibly five times Before finally agreeing to play experimental physicist Leonard Hoffstader.

In the book by Essica Radloff in 2022 "Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inner Story of the Epic Hit Series", all included in the series ended up talking to the author, and the story of how casting directors Nicky Walko and Ken Miller worked with creators. After the pilot was written (by Pradi and Lore), Valco and Miller had to throw both Leonard and his best friend Sheldon Cooper; After all, Jimim Parsons rejoiced by playing Sheldon, but apparently, Valko immediately went to the Galecki. As Miller recalled Radloff, "by minute, Nicky read the script, she was like" Nyoni Galecki is Leonard. "

"We wanted Nyoni to come in and read, but he was not interested in the role at the time," Valco confirmed. "He just felt as if it were not the role of that nervous scientist."

"He gained a lot of fit and made a very sexy role in Broadway (...) and starred in a closed -closed star star," Miller then explained, citing "the little dog laughing", a relatively steam play in which he performed at the time. "He was phenomenal, but he just felt like moving out of his nervous roles. That's what we heard from his agent. Nicki called him as three times saying, 'Please, please,' but we heard" it's a pass ". And then later, his agent called and said, 'What about Nyoni?' Nicky is like, "He went three times! I guess his agent just really believed in the show and role. "

So how did the Galecki end to turn the show completely five times?

As Toldon Galecki told Esseca Radloff, he already knew Jacques Lore (Lore once wrote about "Rosana", the show originally made by the Starwar Galec) and one day, Lore called on him that he was Pradi had a project that could be perfect. With that, he said, there were some significant strokes at speed as concerned - like the fact that they actually talked to him about playing Sheldon Cooper at that moment in the process.

"They have not yet written much of anything, but they started with fax pages to the theater to read them once they did. I really fought with how to understand the premise, tone, characters, because I just got a page here and there. And at that time, they talked to me about the role of Sheldon, but I just couldn't think of it. "

Not only that, but Galecki hesitated to change things at the time. "I was very happy to be in the newuork," Galecki admitted. "And the original material was not exciting enough for me to leave my life in Newouper to make this sitcom for which I had only nine pages."

Galecki made it clear that his hesitation went down to one great thing: his role on Broadway was only differentAnd Sheldon's role felt like a step back. "I was usually caught as the best friend of the character's comic book or gay assistant, so I drove quite high on my ego in this role," he admitted before saying a different role Whether Catch the eye. "But then, the more material I got from Chuck and the more, the more I was attracted to the role of Leonard, especially since Leonard seemed to have a better chance of romantic relationships in the show," he continued. (By the way, Galecki was right; Leonard spends most of the series of romantic Denar of Kaili Cuoco, and the two eventually got married.) "I thought they would say," Go h ***, the end of the conversation, "but Jacques just said," Well, great, play it. " But I wasn't easy for them. I was a hard piece of casting. "

In the end, Nyoni Galecki's agent - who does not specifically name it in Essica Radloff's book - fed the actor's hesitation and called him out. "My longtime agent said:" Why do you continue to lower this? Are you afraid of gathering in a series and then you will have to sign another seven -year contract and not be able to return to New York full -time? "", Galecki recalls. "I said," No, I don't know if it will gather or be successful. " And, he said, 'Well, then, go that!

Galecki thought he could do his Broadway at the time, Brian Henderson, solid that he got his first official credit on the big white road and went so far as to pay for Henderson's parents to fly to see their son's debut; After that, he went to Los Angeles to deal with the pilot of the Big Bang theory, and the rest is history. As Galecki confirmed, "I can also admit this now because it just illustrates what an idiot I am, but I refused the role five times before I eventually say yes." Galecki is probably a lot happy to do it, pointing him calling himself "idiot" - even now, Galecki still uses the benefits of the remaining payments on the show from repetitionsAnd the "Big Bang theory" made him one of Sitkom's most famous and highest paid actors in the history of the media. It is quite amazing, given all this, that Galecki said that not an incredible five times the role that would continue to change his life.

"Big Bang's theory" is now moving to Max.
