Why George Cooper Sr. From Young Sheldon Looks So Familiar

The running gag of Sheldon Cooper's wild Texan family was a recurring gag during the run of "The Big Bang Theory", with his fabled family members only occasionally making appearances; it wasn't until the premiere of "Young Sheldon" that viewers got the full picture of the Cooper household. One family member who made their debut on the show was Sheldon's father, George Cooper Sr., played by Lance Barber, whom eagle-eyed viewers would recognize from a variety of shows ranging from "Yes, Dear" to "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".
