Like Luke and Rey (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/star-wars-theories-the-force-awakens_us_567edfbce4b0b958f65981bd) in "Star Wars," parentage is also a big mystery on "The Big Bang Theory (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=news/big-bang-theory/)." But now one of those mysteries is finally going to be solved.
Leonard, Judd Hirsch (http://www.etonline.com/tv/184690_the_big_bang_theory_casts_judd_hirsch_as_le onard_dad_but_when_will_we_meet_penny_mom/) is your father ...
The casting announcement happened Wednesday at PaleyFest in Los Angeles, and apparently Leonard himself was behind the whole thing.
Actor Johnny Galecki (http://variety.com/2016/tv/news/judd-hirsch-big-bang-theory-paleyfest-1201732151/) supposedly met Hirsch at the NBC special for James Burrows and, according to Galecki, "bombarded" him about the role.
"I just accosted him and cornered him and practically made him commit on the spot to play my father," says Galecki.
The actor, who says he actually watched Hirsch's character in "Taxi" as inspiration for his own role on the show, then pitched the idea to showrunner Steven Molaro (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=entry/big-bang-theory-end_us_567eef76e4b06fa688803c0b). That pitch obviously went well.
At this point, not a lot is known about Leonard's father. He's supposedly an anthropologist and he and Leonard's mom, Beverly Hofstadter, are divorced.
Now that we're finally getting answers, perhaps the show can take on some other "Big Bang Theory" mysteries (http://start.westnet.ca/newstempch.php?article=2014/11/06/big-bang-theory-mysteries_n_6104236.html) as well. Molaro said the show is "open" to meeting any of the missing family members, so it looks like The Force is with us.
