How Far The Big Bang Theory Cast Really Got In School

The characters in The Big Bang Theory are portrayed as geniuses in their respective fields of science. The actors who portray them do a convincing job of embodying nerdy scientific wizards.

But how does the real cast of actors hold up when it comes to brainpower? How far did the rest of the cast get in school? Actors are not primarily known for using the right side of their brain, but the cast of The Big Bang Theory may surprise you.

The Big Bang Theory ensemble are not all geniuses of course, but their educational background does range from Ph.Ds to high school dropouts. To find out how far the cast got in their education, watch this video!

You don't need to be smart to act smart.

[Elensila]

Jesus, Johnny was living by himself at 14?! That’s insane!

[zaz]

3:33 Mayim didn't go to school because Blossom ended. Blossom ended because Mayim left to go to school! I heard on a documentary anyways .

[goldensparrow]

And here we are, studying over 20 years, getting titles and still struggling to survive. Life is so unfair. :(

[SenmiMsS]

Well, they got far or not, they played their roles perfectly. This means they are great actors.

[meowmeow-nkmy]

Who else revised TBBT and still enjoy every scene like it was the first😉

[chuuu]

Mayim is one of the most admirable people ever.

A string of commercials occasionally interrupted by some content.

[gordonsirek]

They are all now rich and forever typecast as the characters from "The Big Bang Theory."

[MsKK]

I always had the feeing that Simon Helberg would be a fantastic evil heavy.... a real great antagonist. I think he should go for complicated dramatic roles.

[gamesplayground]

In my memory they were always be geniuses that makes me happy

[knottreel]

These people didn't need school. They intuitively know things about their craft that you couldn't teach.

I’m still obsessed with this show! It’s really done so much! Do you realize it made stars of not only its cast but Neal Degrasse and Stephen Hawkin! This show made science and being a nerd 🤓 cool! I love that! Thank you 🙏 for entertaining us all for years! I don’t care what their education levels are...they will always hold special places in my heart!

[alexstevenson]

I didn’t even know I needed this video in my life but I really did

[tonline]

[apollofn]

My favourite show of all time, can't believe it's gone. For sure a show I'm gonna show my future kids😣😭😤
