"The Big Bang Theory" enlists "Breaking Bad" alum Dean Norris to guest star in Season 10. Norris, known for his role as DEA Agent Hank Schrader on the hit AMC series, is booked to appear in multi-episodes of the sitcom's new season.
According to CBS, Norris has been tapped to play Captain Williams, a tough Air Force representative from the Department of Material Command on "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10. As to how he will figure into the world of Sheldon and co., the network said that viewers will find Norris' character showing some interests in Howard and Leonard's quantum gyroscope for military applications. To this end, fans of the hit comedy should expect that Norris is bound to get more screen time with co-stars Simon Helberg and Johnny Galecki.
After working on "Breaking Bad," Norris also played a part on the Steven Spielberg-produced scifi series, "Under the Dome." His casting on "The Big Bang Theory" marks as his second gig with the network, where he will be appearing in the first three episodes of Season 10. There's no word yet if he will also be interacting with other fan-favorite characters such as Sheldon and Penny.
The introduction of Norris' character on "The Big Bang Theory" Season 10 is tied to the events from season 9's finale which found Wolowitz suspecting that the Air Force could be spying on their latest project. Executive producer Steve Molaro offered a tease about this cliffhanger in a report from Entertainment Weekly, saying that there is still a small chance that the duo should actually be worried.
"That storyline is certainly not finished," Molaro told the publication.
"They have no choice but to see what the Air Force wants and then go from there."
"The Big Bang Theory" Season 10 premieres on Monday, Sept. 19 at 8PM on CBS.
