Before They Were Stars
The Cast Of The Big Bang Theory Before They Were Stars!
Snakkle looks back at the Emmy-nominated cast of The Big Bang Theory before they were nerds—er—stars. By Danielle Turchiano

Johnny Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter
Big Bang Character: Leonard Hofstadter, an experimental physicist with Clark Kent glasses, an impressive comic book collection, and a love for playing Klingon Boggle. A poster boy for geek chic, he lives with his best friend Sheldon in an apartment across the hall from his on-again-off-again girlfriend Penny.
Snakkle Snippet: Galecki’s first acting role was opposite future Roseanne costar John Goodman in the CBS miniseries Murder Ordained. Coincidence? There were plenty of times when Goodman’s Dan Conner probably wanted to murder his young daughter’s boyfriend.

Wrong! His first acting gig was not on the Roseanne show.
He was Rusty in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation!

you made me reload the page AND the ad on the video, which has nothing to do with why i came here, everytime to see 15 pics of the BBT cast before they were stars.. and yeah, we remember Roseanne and Blossom, so thanks for nothing.

This was my first visit to your site. Repeating the same ad that I can’t mute and the annoying pop ups made it my last.

Yeah, same here. Any site that needs to auto play these stupid annoying videos will never see me again. Don’t care if that’s the only way to make money. Find another way! Snakkle, remember the name……

He has definitely improved with age. I specially like his nice smile.
