Judd Hirsch (Taxi, Independence Day) has been cast as the father of Leonard Hofstadter in CBS’ on-going The Big Bang Theory sitcom.
Hirsch will make his debut as Leonard’s Father in the Season 9 finale, which is scheduled to air on May 12th.
This will be the first time Leonard’s Father appears on the show. Details on the character are still being worked on as the episode’s script is a work-in-progress.
Leonard’s actor Johnny Galecki is quoted as saying the following on meeting Judd Hirsch for the first time at a tribute to director James Burrows:
“We’re all honored to be invited to this James Burrows tribute … and we all had the opportunity to meet these incredible casts Jimmy directed, and I had the opportunity to meet Judd Hirsch. I ran up to him and bombarded him with conversation that went on for a long time about what a fan I am. I did share with him that when we were shooting the pilot, I re-watched the first two or three seasons of Taxi — not because I wanted to base Leonard on his character but the purpose his character served, this anchor in this group of people — and he was just as much at times a voice of reason as he was just as confused as everyone else. I shared that with him, and a lightning bolt struck … or another merlot … and I said, ‘Would you have any interest in playing my dad on the show?'”
Galecki brought the idea to the producers of The Big Bang Theory and a deal was worked out for Hirsch to play his on-camera dad.

Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) has confirmed that the eight season of The Vampire Diaries will be the final season.
Appearing at Walker Stalker Con in Nashville, Somerhalder confirmed that the series is coming to an end. He is quoted as saying the following:
“We have decided to do one last season to sort of do it justice. Work very hard on it, my role is shifting in the show, and we have a lot to do basically.”
Most fans had presumed that this would be the case even though The CW is yet to make an official announcement. Kat Graham (Bonnie Bennett) had previously announced that the eighth season would be her final season.
While it will be sad to see the show go, it sounds like Somerhalder and the rest of the cast are planning something special for the eighth and final season.

While creator Robert Kirkman has been adamant about The Walking Dead not revealing the cause of the zombie apocalypse, it was hoped that companion series Fear The Walking Dead would reveal the cause when it was originally announced. It didn’t in its first season and a new report indicates that the second season won’t either.
Executive producer Greg Nicotero is quoted as saying the following to confirm this report:
“We’ve never really wanted to go there. I know on ‘The Walking Dead’ we made a conscious decision to not open that can of worms. I think it’s safe to say that ‘Fear’ follows the same rule – it’s really not about how it’s happening. It’s about how you survive it. That ship has sailed.”
