Kunal Nayyar appears in a new role in "Criminal: United Kingdom". What are his "The Big Bang Theory" colleagues doing today?

The second season of "Criminal: United Kingdom" will be available on Netflix on September 16. Kit Harrington (33, "Game of Thrones") and "The Big Bang Theory" star Kunal Nayyar (39) will also be seen as a suspect criminal. The actor, who most TV viewers might think of as the slightly clumsy Indian scientist Dr. Rajesh "Raj" Koothrappali is hardly recognizable in the Netflix series. Kunal Nayyar appears with a thick beard.

After the popular sitcom ended in 2019, Kunal Nayyar worked alongside Justin Timberlake (39) and Anna Kendrick (35) as a voice actor for the film "Trolls World Tour". The animation adventure appeared this year, in the middle of the Corona crisis. He also had roles in "Sweetness in the Belly" and "Think Like a Dog". In the thriller series "Suspicion" on Apple TV + he will be seen in a leading role alongside Uma Thurman (50). There is no official start date yet. And how did his "The Big Bang Theory" colleagues fare after the sitcom ended?

Jim Parsons aka Sheldon Cooper

When Dr. Dr. Sheldon Lee Cooper formed the focus of the series: Jim Parsons (47). Even after the end of the cult show, he remained true to his alter ego in a certain way: in the spin-off series "Young Sheldon" he has been the voice of the narrator since 2017 and acts as the executive producer. Parsons was also active outside of his star role: In the Netflix series "Hollywood" he played the eccentric talent agent Henry Willson. The drama "The Boys in the Band", which revolves around a group of gay friends, will be available on Netflix from September 30th. Parsons has taken on one of the leading roles alongside Zachary Quinto (43) and Matt Bomer (42).

Johnny Galecki alias Leonard Hofstadter

One or the other series fan already knew the Leonard Hofstadter actor Johnny Galecki (45) as David Healy in the 90s cult series "Roseanne". He returned to this role in the "Roseanne" reissue and the reboot series "The Conners". On December 4, 2019, Galecki announced the good news via Instagram that he had become the father of a son. The little one's mother is his partner, Alaina Meyer. Since then he seems to have devoted himself fully to his new role as father.

Kaley Cuoco aka Penny

" The 34-year-old is no longer just an actress, but also runs the production company Yes, Norman Productions. She produces the animated series "Harley Quinn" for HBO Max. Cuoco also lends her voice to the title heroine.

She already has the next series in the pipeline: "The Flight Attendant". Filming for the series, in which Cuoco plays the leading role, had to be temporarily interrupted due to the corona pandemic. The first season is currently being completed and will soon be shown on the streaming service HBO Max. In addition, the actress should come to the cinema in autumn 2021. In the action comedy "The Man from Toronto" she is in front of the camera with Kevin Hart (41).

Simon Helberg aka Howard Wolowitz

As Howard Wolowitz, Simon Helberg (39) could not resist one or the other sexist comment or bumpy flirtation. He's been quiet since the end of the sitcom. But two projects are coming up soon. Helberg will play alongside Adam Driver (36) and Marion Cotillard (44) in the musical drama "Annette". The film is due to be released next year. Helberg will also appear in the comedy drama "As Sick As They Made Us", directed by Mayim Bialik (44), the Amy actress from "The Big Bang Theory".
