It’s sometimes hard to believe that Sheldon turned out to be Parson’s big break, but he won several prestigious awards for his portrayal, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and a Golden Globe. Parsons made his Broadway debut in A Normal Heart in 2011 and parlayed his popularity into a $900,000 per episode salary with his co-stars.
Simon Helberg – Howard Wolowitz
Bernadette’s strange husband, who is considered a bit of a cuckoo on the team, especially according to Sheldon, who often looks down on him because he “only” got an engineering degree from MIT. Howard eventually succeeds in using his expertise to become a NASA astronaut, which earns him the recognition of many. In the early seasons, Howard often tried and failed to get dates with different women, as he had a rather bizarre relationship with his mother, they lived together for a long time. That all changed when Penny introduced him in season three to her co-worker Bernadette, who was working at the Cheesecake Factory to pay for her degree. In addition to playing Howard, the actor recently took on several film roles, among others, he appeared in the film Florence – The Imperfect Voice, in which he played pianist Cosme McMoon alongside Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant. As for his personal life, he is married and has two children.
Kevin Sussman – Stuart Bloom
Kevin Sussman was introduced to the series in the second season as Stuart, the owner of a comic book store that is crucial to the story and frequented by the guys. Although not a regular member of the team, Stuart often appears during their adventures, although the character struggles to fit in even more than they do. Stuart is characterized by his often depressed behavior, which is usually the result of some kind of failure. His character is closest to Howard and Bernadette, since he lives with them for a long time, because the couple does not have the heart to put the unfortunate Sutart on the street.
Sussman rarely talks about his personal life, but it is known that he has been divorced twice and that he has no children after 11 years of marriage. He previously starred in Ugly Betty, among others, and worked on the 2001 film AI Artificial Intelligence, directed by Steven Spielberg. Kevin’s real life doesn’t exactly resemble the struggling existence he portrays in Stuart, as he is still a successful actor to this day.
