The casting for 'The Big Bang Theory' went through a couple of changes early on. In fact, to begin with, Kaley Cuoco's Penny personality did not exist. The position was a completely other one, referred to as Katie, who didn't exactly play nice with others. All the changes actually worked to perfection, as the show turned into an iconic sitcom, lasting 12 seasons and running for over a decade. Things could not had been very different. Heck, Johnny Galecki may just've doubtlessly been cast as Sheldon, had he not changed his mind on which function he wanted. Galecki mentioned his choice with Variety, "It was a very selfish request on my part. I hadn’t been able to traverse those stories of the heart. I’ve often been cast as the best friend or the gay assistant of whatever character got to explore those relationships. I said I’d rather play this guy, who seems to have a future of romantic triumphs and difficulties."
It all labored out for the better, however, during the casting process, Sheldon aka Jim Parsons felt a little uncomfortable. While operating his lines alongside Johnny Galecki, it was once a weird form of first for Parsons, as he explained with EW.
A First For Parsons
It used to be a unusual form of first for Jim Parsons. According to his comments along EW, he had never auditioned alongside someone he had seen work before. Jim was once aware of Galecki's paintings from his time on 'Roseanne', "I already knew who Johnny was from Roseanne. That was weird because I don’t think I’ve ever auditioned alongside someone I had seen act before. I read with other people, but it was very clear that no one else was making the part their own more than Johnny did. He knew what he was doing and was doing it in a strong way. I didn’t feel like he needed my help. I didn’t feel like he was bleeding into my work. He was his own distinct thing."
Turns out, everybody had their very own unique audition reports and that incorporates Kaley Cuoco. Kaley recollects assembly Jim Parsons in the ready room, the 2 shared a pleasant conversation, "At the audition, I saw Jim sitting there by himself, and we were the only two there. He was very quiet and had a BlackBerry in his hand, playing with it. He looks at me and said, “You don’t know how to work this thing, do you? I just got it.” He was very cute how he said it. I thought he could totally play Sheldon. Charming and innocent."
Everything worked how it should have. We in reality can't consider anyone else within the position of Sheldon and we will be able to say the similar for Leonard. Despite a couple of hiccups, everything labored out for the better.
