Johnny Galecki was born John Mark Galecki, on an Air Force Base in Belgium, April 30,1975. When he was 3 his family moved to Chicago, where he started working in theaters. He knew at four that he wanted to be on TV and by eleven he was getting recognized for his talent. In 1989 a video reading that he sent to the people doing Chevy Chase’s ‘Christmas Vacation’ got him flown out to L.A. and prompted his whole family’s relocation. In 1990 his family moved back to Chicago leaving the 14 year old Johnny by himself in L.A. In 1991 the fifteen year old was picked by Roseanne Barr, one of his idols, to play a role in a made for T.V movie, ‘Backfield in Motion’. She also took him from there to do a guest spot on her sitcom, ‘Rosanne’(1988). That guest spot turned into a recurring role, which became his breakout role, David Healy. Since ‘Rosanne’(1988), Johnny has been busy doing all levels of television, movies, and even Broadway. Currently you can find him playing his most popular role to date on ’The Big Bang Theory’, where he plays a socially awkward scientist Leonard Hofstadter.

Johnny Galecki Quotes
Johnny: I don't know what to do with myself between films. I end up doing unhealthy things like shopping or drinking. I'm pretty schizophrenic about it.
Johnny: I'm not at all competitive. I'd rather play Solitaire than ping-pong.
Johnny: We have Nobel Prize winners asking if they can guest-star on the show. The image of the scientist in the last 10 to 15 years has changed dramatically. It used to be the pasty guy in the basement with beakers, and now it's Steve Jobs. They're almost the rock stars of our age.
