It’s hard to envision The Big Bang Theory without one of its key characters or with someone else playing the role, especially from season 2 onwards. However, an unexpected change took place after season 4 when Johnny Galecki expressed concern about his health and whether he could continue his journey in the series.
In the book “The Big Bang Theory: An In-Depth Look at the Popular Sitcom’s Journey” (as reported by Slashfilm), Galecki shared a story about waking up one day to find that one side of his face was drooping. He was concerned that this might be a sign of a stroke and that the paralysis could persist, potentially ending his acting career.
While en route to the hospital, the actor pondered over the realization that he could no longer act on The Big Bang Theory. Consequently, he decided to reach out to Chuck Lorre, the series’ creator, to inform him that it might be necessary to find someone to step into his shoes. Additionally, he expressed a desire to negotiate about continuing his work on the show, albeit in a slightly modified role.
During our trip to the hospital, my sister suddenly started crying heavily. In this situation, I phoned Chuck and shared that I had become unable to move my right side. I expressed my desire to work with him by taking over my character’s role, and I also asked if he could think about offering me a staff writing position on the show, which I found appealing.
Despite Lorre initially facing a challenging situation, he was determined not to back down and chose to support his show’s lead actor. He reached out to different physicians, discovering that Galecki’s symptoms seemed to match Bell’s palsy. This suspicion was eventually verified by Galecki’s personal doctor. Fortunately for the series, Galecki didn’t have to relinquish his role throughout The Big Bang Theory’s entire run, although he admitted that he occasionally grappled with “experiencing weakness on that side.
