Big Bang's Mayim Bialik on Being "Amy Fowler," More
Check out what Mayim Bialik said about how she got her role as "Amy" on The Big Bang Theory. Plus, why she toasted some of production's most amazing magicmakers, as host of the recent 2011 Engineering Emmys in Hollywood.
The Big Bang Theory's Mayim Bialik, who hosted the recent 2011 Primetime Emmy Engineering Awards at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood, California, tells an awesome, funny story here about how she landed the role of "Amy Fowler" on the ratings-topping CBS comedy.
After starring in the title role of popular 1990s sitcom Blossom, Bialik veered decisively off well-worn Hollywood paths and went on to earn a Ph.D. in neuroscience from the University of California at Los Angeles. Imagine what the producers of Big Bang—who were searching for the right actress to be the female version of "Sheldon Cooper, Caltech physicist" (played by Emmy winner Jim Parsons)—said about that when they stumbled upon her resume.
