Ariana Grande's BFF to appear on 'The Big Bang Theory'
'Big Bang Theory' Books 'Victorious' Alum as Howard's Brother
Quote:
Victorious alum (and Ariana Grande's best friend) Matt Bennett has been tapped to guest star on the network's nerdy comedy, The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Bennett will play Josh, Howard Wolowitz's (Simon Helberg) younger half-brother. The character will show up unexpectedly on Howard's doorstep in the April 9 episode, titled "The Fortification Implementation." For the time being, the character is scheduled to appear in one episode.
The casting comes as quite a surprise for Big Bang Theory, where Howard has been set up as an only child. While the character's estranged father has been referenced several times — he left his wife and son when Howard was 11 — the reason has never been explained. Josh will play the son of Howard's estranged father.
The casting comes as Big Bang Theory this season said farewell to Howard's mother, Mrs. Wolowitz, following the death of Carol Ann Susi who voiced the always heard but never seen character. Bennett's credits include Victorious, iCarly — after Molaro's episodes — as well as Sam & Cat. He's repped by ICM Partners and Principato-Young.
