They are played by Kunal Nayyar, who also made the top paid list with $22 million annually, and Simon Helberg, another member of that exclusive list at $22.5 million, In fact, all of the top four spots on the list are filled by TBBT cast members! Pricey 30-Second Spots They round out the main cast of five very funny characters. The co-workers who rub elbows with Sheldon and Leonard include Raj Raj Koothrappali, who is an astrophysicist, and Howard Wolowitz, who is an aerospace engineer. In a later season, she ends up becoming a pharmaceutical representative. She lives across the hall and is an aspiring actress and waitress. Those other characters include Penny played by Kaley Cuoco, who is the eye-candy of the show so-to-speak. The other main characters either work with the two science geeks or live in their building. Sheldon and Leonard are both sharing an apartment in the sitcom.

In fact, they both earn $1 million plus per episode! About Sheldon, Leonard, and Penny Galecki earns $24 million annually and Parsons, who holds the absolute top position on the highest paid list earns $25.5 million annually. Both of them are at the top of the list of highest paid actors in television today.

These two characters are played by Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki respectively. They are two Caltech physicists named Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter. The sitcom is often abbreviated as BBT or TBBT and revolves around five main characters who live in Pasadena, California. I could sit back and just watch the Sheldon and Penny show and laugh my ass off.The Big Bang Theory premiered on September 24, 2007, on the CBS network. I don't think he does a bad job, but Jim Parsons is like the Daniel Day Lewis of nerds, so everyone pales in comparison when his character is written so well and given so much to work with. I really feel like the analogy 'adding sugar to something sweet' is the perfect way to describe Johnny Galecki's performance, it always feels a bit forced or too much. Sheldon is so bizarre, all Leonard would have to do is stand there and play off of him, which he does most the time. I buy that Sheldon is a nerd, I sometimes buy Leonard, but most the time feel like he's trying to tweak his voice and squint his eyes or posture himself into being a nerd, instead of just being himself and trusting he is nerdy enough without adding more. I wish I could say the same for Leonard, Johnny Galecki's character, who most the time just comes off as whiny and trying too hard. I believe that she's a Midwest girl trying to make it in LA. Kaley Cuoco is a very charming and quick, an actress who has a good grasp on comedic timing and just the right balance of 'sitcom acting.' She's attractive, but not in an off-putting phony way like any number of 'CW actresses' that are pretty to look at, but completely vacuous and interchangeable. I really like the interactions between Penny and Sheldon, she plays the 'straight woman' well and gives him a lot to feed off of.

He puts all other nerds on TV and film, past and present to shame. He spouts off what seems like pages of facts and statistics in a matter of seconds like a spastic super-computer and his comedic timing is dead-on. He is such a mess, whether it's over-analyzing the accuracy of the local renaissance fair or judging Penny's attention to safety because she's ignoring her 'Check Engine' light, he is always hilarious. Let's get down to business, the real reason this show is a hit and my only real reason for repeat viewing of episodes is Sheldon, played to neurotic and sometimes robotic brilliance by Jim Parsons. The comedy comes from what would be normal interactions, that these guys turn incredibly awkward with their immense lack of social skills. The show focuses on building the relationships and exploring new 'fish-out-of-water' situations to put Leonard and Sheldon in, with their friends Rajesh and Howard joining the nerd train. The second season picks up with a relationship potential for Leonard and Penny that is quickly dashed because let's face it, nerds are funnier when they are pining for the pretty girl, not when they actually have her. Of course both are smitten with her and hilarity and awkwardness ensue.

The show's premise is simple, in the first season a beautiful blonde struggling actress named Penny (Kaley Cuoco) moved in across the hall from two uber-geek physicists, Sheldon (Jim Parsons) and Leonard (Johnny Galecki), who know everything about the world through books, but have no idea how to relate to reality.
