A new book says 'Big Bang Theory' producers approached Selena Gomez to guest-star on the show.
Also revealed in the book: Before Johnny Galecki earned the role of Leonard Hofstadter, the producers pursuedstar Macaulay Culkin. “There’s a special ethereal quality to that actor that I thought might be great,” co-creator Chuck Lorre said in the book, with fellow co-creator Bill Prady adding: “We had a terrific meeting with Macaulay … and then we heard that he had decided he wasn’t interested.”
The book says Sandra Bullock was the “first go-to” to accompany Raj Koothrappali to Sheldon and Amy’s Nobel Prize ceremony before they cast Sarah Michelle Gellar to play herself. Why Bullock? Koothrappali has a “long love of her,” exec producer Steve Holland said. “We were excited about it, but we got a polite decline because she was shooting a movie and wasn’t available. But we were very excited Sarah was available to come on.
