Actor Joshua Malina appeared as the Big Bang Theory character, Caltech’s President Siebert, in the show’s fourth, fifth, 11th, and 12th seasons. However, nine out of the 13 episodes he filmed were for the 12th and final season of The Big Bang Theory, which ended in 2019.
During an appearance on a September 2026 episode of The Big Bang Theory Podcast, Malina explained that he joined the cast of The Big Bang Theory toward the end of its 4th season, around the same time he began playing David Rosen in the ABC drama, Scandal.
“I got Scandal. I think I maybe would have been a greater presence on The Big Bang Theory had I not gotten Scandal,” said the actor, who played David throughout Scandal‘s seven-season run.
He said that once Scandal came to an end in 2018, he was recruited to film the final season of The Big Bang Theory.
“I enjoyed Big Bang Theory, but I kind of forgot about it in terms of my involvement. And then Scandal ended, and Big Bang was still going, and they asked me to be a significant part of the final season. I think I did another 10 episodes, and so I was really psyched to come back and do that,” said the 60-year-old during the podcast interview.
While recording The Big Bang Theory Podcast episode, Malina said he appreciated being a member of The Big Bang Theory cast.
“I’ve been very lucky. I mean, I’ve done all sorts of stuff that’s very obscure and people have never heard of and very few people have seen, but I’ve also been lucky to get gigs on things that are sort of like significant and culturally relevant like Big Bang and Scandal and the West Wing. And it’s been just a nice lucky thing for me,” said Malina.
