This news will make you state, “Bazinga!”
According to an upcoming Big Bang Theory narrative history, fan preferred starlet Kaley Cuoco almost didn’t snatch a leading function at all. The book exposes that the pilot initially included a female lead called “Katie” who was the reverse of Cuoco’sPenny Instead of being a Midwestern optimist, Katie was “cynical, down on her luck, and off-putting,” according to anOct 6 short article from The Hollywood Reporter
And who remained in line to play Katie? While Cuoco auditioned for the function, it wasn’t offered to her due to the fact that she was too bubbly. Instead, Jim Parsons checked out with starlet Marisa Tomei while she was auditioning for the part.
“I read with Marisa Tomei,” Parsons shared in the book. “I keep in mind going to the treat space after we were done and informing [casting directors] Ken [Miller] and Nikki [Valko], ‘I’ve never ever remained in another person’s audition prior to!’ And they stated, ‘Well, she was type of actually auditioning you.’ And I went, ‘Oh, that makes good sense.’ But oh my gosh, what a various world that would have been.”
American Pie‘s Tara Reid and Saved by the Bell‘s Elizabeth Berkley increased for the function also. But the part of Katie eventually went to Amanda Walsh after another starlet, Jodi Lyn O’Keefe, did a not successful table read and was believed to have actually brought a “darkness” to the function that didn’t work, according to Valko.
