Personal Quote:

[on credentials for playing a physicist in The Big Bang Theory] I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology. I didn't have an interest in the particulars - but what a wonderful basis for a show. See more »
