Richard Galecki (father)

Date of birth: September 23, 1946

Date of death: 1991

Johnny is a real family man, and he posts pics with his mother, brother, sister and baby momma all the time. But you can hardly find a photo of his dad on social media. The reason is the pain, which the actor feels when he sees the photos of his father.

Richard suddenly died, when The Big Ben Theory star was just 16. The man was killed in a car crash.

Richard was born in USA, but he has Polish roots. He was a military man and served in US Air Force. He was sent to Belgium to station there, and that was the place, where Johnny was born.

Mr. Galecki and his wife took their family back to USA in 1978. They settled in Oak Park, IL and actually, there Johnny grew up.

After the retirement from the army, Richard worked as a rehabilitation teacher. He helped blind veterans to get used to this world after their injuries.

Date of birth: January 1, 1944

Johnny is incredibly close to his mother, although Mrs. Galecki is quite an eccentric woman, who can easily ask each of her kids “to get out” if she is tired of them. Obviously, it was she, who gave Johnny his talent to acting.

Mary Lou Noon was born in USA, although she has Irish and Italian roots. She studied at Rosary High School in Columbus, OH and then earned a degree in broadcasting from the University of Detroit Mercy.

During the years of studying, she sang and danced in amateur performances, and sewed clothes for herself and other members of the cast with her own hands.

She made a 40-year pause in her career after getting married to a US Air Force member Richard Galecki. They traveled a lot and brought up three kids. Mary missed a lot after her husband’s tragic death. She is single till now.

During many years Mary Lou earned her living as a mortgage consultant. But after the retirement, she returned to her roots and started to act again. She performed in the play “Love Affairs and Wedding Bells”, staged in the amateur theater in Chicago.

Allison Galecki (younger sister)

Date of birth: July 1, 1979

Allison, or Alli, as she is nicknamed by her friends and relatives, is Johnny’s younger sister. She jokes, that she is the only person in her family, who doesn’t look like other Galecki.

Johnny and his sister have a close bond, although both lead a busy life. She is in relationships with Milan Vuynovic. Alli resides in Oakland Park and serves as a spa manager.

Nick Galecki (younger brother)

Date of birth: February 1, 1981

Johnny and Nick are obviously brothers because they look almost the same. The siblings have cordial relationships and spend a lot of time together. Nick resides in Illinois with his wife Ann and their daughter. He works as a mechanical engineer.

He has a lot of projects he can be proud of and a lot of talented people he worked with. But when you hear the name of Johny Galecki, you immediately think about “The Big Bang Theory”. John portrayed one of four friends, talented scientists, who feel comfortable at work, but can be completely lost in everyday routine situations. During 12 years the TV show had been topping all the ratings, and John’s Leonard was one of the brightest characters on the show.

Johnny Galecki has made a long way from a simple boy in Oak Park to a TV star with millions of fans. He was born in Belgium, where his father – a military man – was sent to serve. Johnny is the oldest of three kids in a family. His parents moved back to USA when he was 3 years old.

He started the career of an actor at the tender age of 7. Then Johnny performed on the stage of a prestigious Goodman Theatre (Chicago) for the first time in his life.

In 1987 Galecki debuted on TV. He appeared just for a couple of seconds in the TV film “Murder Ordained”. That was enough for Johnny to understand that acting was his cup of tea.

His first career success found him in 1988 when he won the role of David Healy in “Roseanne”. Although his character was not regular on the show, still his guest appearances revived the show and made Johnny’s face recognizable. He portrayed the love interest of Sara Gilbert heroine Darlene. Two actors fell in love with each other in real life, too.

Johnny had a busy career, and appeared in numerous famous films and TV series, such as “Hope & Faith”, “Entourage”, “Hancock” and “The Master Cleanse”. But his real success was waiting for him around the corner. In 2007 he was cast as Leonard Hofstadter in “The Big Ben Theory”. This project has become the longest sitcom in television history and turned Johnny Galecki into a legendary showman.

He lived independently from his parents since he was 14. Johnny resided in a rented home Burbank, California.
He didn’t get the proper education. Actually, Johnny didn’t even attend a high school. He dropped out his studying after the 8th grade.
He is talented not just as an actor, but also as an artist. John likes painting and drawing. He makes sketches in his free time.
Johnny is an animal lover. In 2009 he found a homeless dog and immediately took it to his house. The pet got an interesting name – Vera.
He is a smoker. Quite often the actor can be seen with Parliament Light cigarette in his mouth.
Johnny is in great terms with each actor from The Big Ben Theory set. He has strong connections with Jim Parsons, and both had wet eyes after the last episode of the show. The other Big Ben Theory star – Kaley Cuoco – was his real-life love interest during several years.
