The Big Bang Theory's Johnny Galecki has returned to the show that made him a household name: Roseanne.
The actor was known for playing Darlene's love interest, David, and though Johnny isn't returning for every episode of the Roseanne reboot, he did return as David in last night's (April 17) episode which aired in the US.
Not that he needs the job, of course. Johnny is a TV powerhouse, raking in tons of money with his current main show.
Though only he and his accountant know for sure, sites like Celebrity Net Worth estimate that Galecki's is worth a whopping $50 million – that's £35 million. And he can thank his role as Leonard on The Big Bang Theory for that.
Forbes reports that from seasons eight through 10 of The Big Bang Theory, Johnny made $1 million (£703,000) per episode, which is the same that his co-stars Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar made.
But the actor and his cast mates agreed to take a $100,000 cut in salary for the show's 11th and 12th seasons so their other costars, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch, could get raises, so he now makes $900,000 an episode (£632,000).
What to Read Next
That still makes him one of the highest paid actors on television, and given that seasons of the show typically have 24 episodes, leads to a massive chunk of change for Johnny.
And that's not the only money he's making from the show, either.
Each star of The Big Bang Theory gets a percentage of the show's profits, and that includes the lucrative syndication deals the show already has. The show is a big hit in re-runs on E4 in the UK and TBS in the States.
Galecki has parlayed his TV salary into some impressive real estate, too. In 2015, he shelled out $9.2 million (£6.5 million) on a six-bedroom mansion in Los Angeles, which used to belong to Jason Statham and before him, Ben Stiller. That same year, he sold his previous home, a much smaller two-bedroom house, for $2.5 million (£1.8 million).
Aside from his roles on Big Bang and Roseanne, Galecki has also appeared in several episodes of Entourage, in which he played himself, and had film roles in movies like Rings and The Cleanse. He's also the executive producer of the CBS series Living Biblically.
So even if The Big Bang Theory comes to an end, he'll still have plenty of gigs to go around...
