According to the producer and executive writer Steve Molero, Mayim Bialik had competition for the role of Amy Farrah FowlerIn particular, another actress who appears later on the series anyway. “Kate Micucci, who would end up playing Raj’s romantic interest, Lucy, auditioned before Mayim, and we thought she was great and really funny,” Molaro told Radloff in her book. “And then Mayim entered, and except to be great too, Chuck [Lorre] I loved that she really had a doctorate in neuroscience. It could have gone in both directions between Mayim or Kate, but because Mayim could bring authenticity to the science and the intelligence of the character, Chuck was like: “I think it’s so cool. Let’s go with her. ‘”
Ken Miller, who worked as a casting director on “The Big Bang Theory”, added that Bialik’s hearing was exactly … so it was obvious not to launch her. “When Mayim came for hearing, Chuck said:” You know, we are looking for a female version of Sheldon “, and Mayim says:” I understood it. “She knew exactly what she was going to do with the character,” recalls Miller. “But the role could have been one and did if it didn’t click. And that was something else. They continued to write for her.”
As for Jim Parsons, who ended up being the most constant partner on the most constant screen of Bialik – Amy and Sheldon start as friends, start to go out together, and finally get married before the end of the program in season 12 – he was familiar with Bialik beforehand thanks to the affection of his sister for “Blossom” “film” Beachs “, and to Bialik’s 2009 TLC series “” What to Wear. ” When they met for the first time, let’s say that he was not sure where things were going to go from there. “Anyway, when she came to the series, I did not know what was the plan because it was for a scene in the [season 3 finale] And we took a break after that, “he said before praising his co-star.” But I quickly started to count Mayim as a major gift they had offered me. I did not know how significant it would be to be twinned with someone like that, as an actor. It is no different from what it feels in real life when you are single and all your friends are twinned. It may seem very alone, so I felt this immense feeling of gratitude that I had this kind of partner. “”
“The Big Bang Theory”, including the “Nom-Drop” by Bialik And His appearance as Amy Farrah Fowler, broadcasts on HBO Max now.
