The Big Bang Theory thrives on the highly intelligent people who are at the center of the series. In real life, of course, we are dealing with actors who have only slipped into the role. But one of them actually has a doctorate that even matches the one her portrayed character holds in the series.
The Big Bang Theory actress Mayim Bialik actually has a doctorate in neuroscience
Most cast members in The Big Bang Theory had to laboriously memorize and have their lines Often most things are not understood at allwhen it got scientific. Jim Parsons, for example, explained that he learned science talk like a foreign language and didn’t really understand anything about it.
But Amy Farrah Fowler actress Mayim Bialik hasn’t had that problem for the most part. She owns namely, in real life, a doctorate in neurosciencemuch like the role she played. That must have been very helpful during filming.
She is therefore the only one of the actorswho works on The Big Bang Theory, who has a Ph.D. Many other stars in the cast have studied and, for example, have a master’s degree, but no one else in the illustrious group has a doctorate (via ScreenRant).
Mayim Bialik’s doctorate was even discussed in The Big Bang Theory
Curiously, Mayim Bialik’s real doctorate was already discussed in The Big Bang Theory, before Amy Farrah Fowler even properly appeared on the sitcom. In the 13th episode of the first season, the Superbrains are looking for a fourth member for their bowling team and Raj ultimately alludes to the actress:
You know who seems to be very smart? This is the girl who played Blossom on TV. She has a PhD in neuroscience or something!
Or of course it’s not entirely true, because as we know she actually has this exact doctorate. Before her career as a scientist, Mayim Bialik namely She starred in the series Blossom as a child star. She has been a permanent member of The Big Bang Theory cast since the third season. So the circle closes.
