Most fans of the popular sitcom “The Big Bang Theory” admire one of the central figures of the series - Shelodnoy, but there are many who find a lot of fun in another character, whose name is Howard Volowitz! It is worth noting that his prototype was a long-time acquaintance of one of the creators of the show Bill Pradi.
The hero of Simon Helberg has many differences from other key actors, and one of them is the lack of a doctorate. A charismatic engineer is regularly reminded of this fact by his friend Cooper. In his defense, a Jew never tires of telling his friends that he is developing equipment that NASA uses. Moreover, if any small practical projects are conceived in the company of comrades, the scientist often takes on their organization.
Unique style
It is impossible not to mention the special style that Howard Wolowitz has been faithful for many seasons. He wears T-shirts and shirts over a turtleneck and regularly changes buckles on his belt. In general, the scientist prefers outfits of flashy flowers in the style of the 1960s. A special place in his collection is occupied by sets of incredibly narrow trousers and bright sneakers.
Perhaps someone considers such clothes provocative, but this person is definitely not Howard Wolowitz! The engineer's height reaches 170 centimeters, and at the same time he has a very thin physique, which is why from the back he can be mistaken for a teenager.
However, the talented scientist is not at all worried about this and is happy to support the image of a “tough guy”. He likes to drive a scooter, play computer games and read colorful comics.
Persistent seducer
Love relationships always worried the character, and he was ready to go to great lengths in order to become an experienced seducer, however, the fair sex did not always reciprocate. The hero intended to attract the attention of the beautiful Penny, but this was not crowned with success. Also, the seducer tried to have a fleeting affair with strangers, but even those most often ignored him.
Despite the fact that the methods of seducing Howard were often introduced into a stupor of ordinary people, still there was a person who wanted to continue to get to know him. As a result, the physicist began the first serious relationship in his life. The girl Howard Wolowitz was distinguished by a special strength of character, therefore it is not surprising that after a while she managed to persuade him to create a family.
Affection for mom
The guy’s parents are divorced, and since childhood, the scientist was brought up only by his mother, who did not care much about the achievements of his son in his “adult” life - for an overbearing woman he forever remained an immature young man. Even marrying Bernadette, the character of Helberg could not leave the parental home, which more than once became the reason for ridicule from the friends of the couple.
Many viewers would like to know how the mother of Howard Volovits looks like, because the actress portraying her has never appeared in the frame. Fans of the series only had to hear the voice of the parent of an extraordinary physicist until her death. Unfortunately, death was not only “on-screen”, since Carol Ann Susie, voiced by Mrs. Wolowitz, died of cancer in 2014.
One step ahead
Friends often made fun of the hero about the fact that he did not have a doctorate in their company, but in many ways Howard Volovits managed to overtake his comrades. He was the first of them to marry, he was the first to experience the joy of impending paternity.
Moreover, unlike the self-confident doctors of science - Sheldon, Raj and Leonard - the physicist has already managed to visit space, and, of course, this is far from the limit of his achievements!
About role performer
The image of a cheerful scientist was embodied in the series by Simon Helberg, whom this role not only glorified, but also made one of the highest paid actors on television. It is noteworthy that for the first time a young artist appeared on the screen in 2002, playing an ordinary nerd in the project "King of Parties".
Since 2007, the celebrity has been married to actress Jocelyn Towne, who bore him two children - a daughter and a son. Some time ago, Simon became interested in directing, and close friends of the filmmaker claim that he has the talent of the famous director Woody Allen!
