Big Bang Theory’s Johnny Galecki on memorizing lines and feeling the love of fans

From Movieline:

How does it feel to star in one of the most beloved sitcoms today?
It is really — I can’t even believe it but it’s really thanks to our fans and the critics. They’ve just been so great for us. It’s funny because actors always feel like the television critics are the enemies but they’ve been really behind us.

I talked to Jim Parsons about his intense, seven step system he for memorizing lines. How do you remember all of that physics vocabulary?
I tried to establish early on that Jim is better with that stuff than I am. We just deal with it. It does help to write the lines out in longhand. I think both of us do that.

And when there’s a line change and all of a sudden you have to learn new vocabulary in front of the audience?
Even with the audience there, I say, “Give me 30 seconds” and write it out in longhand.
