Johnny Galecki's Net Worth Soared On The Big Bang Theory, But Roseanne Served As A Major Turning Point In His Career

Johnny Galecki's career completely changed thanks to his role as Leonard on The Big Bang Theory. However, Roseanne proved to be a major part of his career success. According to the actor, the role helped to discipline him early on, and he was able to do so alongside some of the best 'professors' in the business.

Galecki tells Variety, "That experience, from 16-21, I really consider my college in many ways. To work with Roseanne, who's from the standup world, and John (Goodman), who's a terribly disciplined film actor, I had the best professors in the business."

Although The Big Bang Theory brought in success nobody could've predicted, like the actor making $1 million per episode, Galecki admits things could've been very different. At the start, Galecki decided to change his audition, taking a try at the role of Leonard, instead of the proposed Sheldon character.

Galecki explains, "It was a very selfish request on my part.

I hadn't been able to traverse those stories of the heart. I've often been cast as the best friend or the gay assistant of whatever character got to explore those relationships. I said I'd rather play this guy, who seems to have a future of romantic triumphs and difficulties."

Galecki's vision clearly worked, and it allowed him to enjoy the finer things' life has to offer, like a stunning vineyard.
