In the 2022 book “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series,” Mayim Bialik recalls the reason for her return to acting in the role of Amy Farrah Fowler. According to her, it wasn’t a matter of money or the need to feel creatively fulfilled. Rather, it came down to her health insurance, which was about to expire from her time as a University of California, Los Angeles grad student. “I figured if I could get a couple of guest spots I would get enough to get my Screen Actors Guild health insurance. But I wasn’t planning on being a regular actor,” Bialik explained.
Nevertheless, fate had other plans for Bialik, as she’d spend years upon years of her life as a main part of “The Big Bang Theory.” For the bulk of that tenure, she’d work closely alongside Jim Parsons as Amy and Sheldon’s romance went through its ups and downs — a dynamic that worked so well thanks to Bialik and Parsons’ natural chemistry. “I think one of the things that worked so well for us as actor partners, and maybe as producing partners too, is that we’re not overly sentimental as humans, which I think is helpful,” Bialik told Us Weekly, noting their shared personality type made it a bit easier to process the end of “The Big Bang Theory” in 2019.

Without Mayim Bialik’s Amy Farrah Fowler, “The Big Bang Theory” wouldn’t have been the same. Even though it wasn’t for the most positive of reasons, it’s a good thing she ultimately chose to return to acting.
