The recent episode of 'Young Sheldon' saw the death scene of Lance Barber's character, George Cooper.
young sheldon Star Lance Barber has revealed why they had to recast his role, which was portrayed negatively on the parenting show. Big Bang Theory.
George Cooper's character was already dead when the original comedy aired. Additionally, there are cases where Sheldon Cooper and his mother Mary speak badly of him as if he were a bad father and husband.
However, Chuck Lorre's production turned things around when Lance shared that there were active efforts to “change his character” and make him “more human.”
In an interview with television linesaid Lance, “It was clear that he was kind of a caricature. George was the punchline. And so, there was the challenge of grounding this person and making him a human being instead of a punchline.”
Lance also recalled a specific scene that changed everything when producer Chuck Lorre offered some notes.
“I got some great notes during the brisket scene with Meemaw. And Meemaw doesn't share his brisket recipe with George. And the script calls for George to be angry about it,” she shared.
Lance added: “I got notes from Chuck that this… he took me aside and said, 'You're a big guy and you're intimidating and that's not who this guy is. You need to be hurt, not just angry.'” Right? And that really set the tone for me. Getting that note from Chuck really helped me establish where we were going from there.”
