OT The Big Bang Theory

[Mike Schwartz]

    Howie, I think they should have had you play Howard's (the junior)
father!  That would have been a great trivia question!  (I don't recall that
there was ever a mention of HW's real father in the episodes; just his
mother...  If the story line goes that his father is dead, they should have
YOU come back as his ghost!  )
