[The Big Bang Theory] Main Cast- Leonard Hofstadter




Leonard Leakey Hofstadter needed a place to stay when he started at the university, so he answered an ad and went through all of the hurdles to become Sheldon's roommate, even though he was warned at the time that Sheldon was crazy. For some reason, he didn't believe it, and chose to sign the Roommate Agreement and move into Sheldon's apartment. Leonard put a couch in the living room, so they could actually have guests, and brought in new friends (Howard and Raj), much to Sheldon's displeasure. When a new girl, Penny, moved next door, Leonard wanted to meet her. She talked him into getting something back from her ex-boyfriend, and a relationship of sorts was formed between Penny and the men across the hall. Leonard always wanted to date Penny, and eventually his dream came true. Eventually, they broke up, and Penny dated a not-too-bright guy. After spending time with her new man and Leonard, she found out she can no longer handle being with a stupid guy, so perhaps the door is open for Leonard to get back together with her? We shall see. Whatever happens there, Leonard always has his friends Sheldon, Howard and Raj to fall back on to hang out with.


Leonard suffers from myopia (nearsightedness) and allergies.


Leonard is from New Jersey.

[The Big Bang Theory] Main cast-Sheldon

Sheldon Lee Cooper,[1] B.S., M.S., M.A., Ph.D., Sc.D.[2] (born 1980) is a fictional character on the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by actor Jim Parsons. Parsons has won two Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for his role.
Sheldon is a Caltech theoretical physicist who shares an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki). They live across the hallway from a highly sociable waitress named Penny (Kaley Cuoco), with whom Sheldon clashes due to her "free-loading" and un-organized lifestyle, even though he identifies her as one of his friends despite her lack of scientific education. The "free-loading" was involved in one of Sheldon's Wi-Fi codes (pennyisafreeloader). Sheldon exhibits a strict adherence to routine, a total lack of social skills, a tenuous understanding of irony, sarcasm, and humor, and a general lack of humility or empathy. He is vocal about his own superior intellect compared to those around him. These characteristics provide the bulk of his character's humor and the center of some. He has been described as the show's breakout character.[3][4][5][6] Reviewers and fans have speculated that Sheldon's personality traits are consistent with a diagnosis of Asperger syndrome and/or obsessive–compulsive disorder and asexuality;[5][7] although this has been repeatedly denied by the co-creator Bill Prady.[8]
Beginning with the season five episode "The Flaming Spittoon Acquisition", Sheldon began dating Amy Farrah Fowler in a platonic relationship.

 

[The Big Bang Theory] Introduction





The Big Bang Theory is an American sitcom created by Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady, both of whom serve as executive producers on the show, along with Steven Molaro. All three also serve as head writers. It premiered on CBS on September 24, 2007.[3]
The show is centered on five characters: roommates Leonard Hofstadter and Sheldon Cooper, two physicists who work at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech); Penny, a blonde waitress and aspiring actress who lives across the hall; and Leonard and Sheldon's equally geeky and socially awkward friends and co-workers aerospace engineer Howard Wolowitz and astrophysicist Rajesh Koothrappali. The geekiness and intellect of the four guys is contrasted for comic effect with Penny's social skills and common sense.[4][5] Three other supporting characters have also been promoted to starring roles: Leslie Winkle, a physicist colleague at Caltech and, at different times, a lover of both Leonard and Howard who left the show after season 3; Bernadette Rostenkowski, Howard's fiancée, who is a microbiologist and former part-time waitress alongside Penny; and Amy Farrah Fowler, a neurobiologist who joins the group after being matched to Sheldon on a dating website.
The show is produced by Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions.[6] In August 2009, the sitcom won the best comedy series TCA award and Jim Parsons (Sheldon) won the award for individual achievement in comedy.[7] In 2010, the show won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy, while Parsons won a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.[8] On January 16, 2011, Parsons was awarded a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical, an award that was presented by co-star Kaley Cuoco (Penny). On September 18, 2011, Parsons was again awarded an Emmy for Best Actor in a Comedy Series.
When the third season premiered on September 21, 2009, The Big Bang Theory ranked as CBS's highest-rated show of that evening in the adults 18–49 demographic (4.6/10), along with a then-series-high 12.83 million viewers.[9] On May 19, 2010, it was announced that CBS would be moving the show to Thursdays at 8:00 ET for the 2010–2011 schedule. On January 12, 2011, CBS announced that the show had been renewed for an additional three years, extending it through the 2013–2014 season.[10] The fifth season premiered on September 22, 2011, in its usual time slot with two back-to-back episodes.[11][12]
