.... I was watching "The Big Bang Theory" on E4 this evening (Series 11, episode 24 - The Bow Tie Asymmetry) and there was a familiar face on there playing the role of Amy's father, Larry Fowler. (Her mother, Mrs Fowler is played by Kathy Bates).

Anyway, I checked on IMDB and my thoughts were confirmed, Larry Fowler is played by Teller himself.

He's quite subservient, but he does actually utter a few words, for those of you that wanted to hear the great man speak

I have actually heard him speak in person just going about his normal business.

You're one of the lucky ones then .... us mere mortals will probably never have the opportunity to meet such people in real life

When they do live shows both Penn and Teller wait outside outside the venue to meet fans, sign autographs, pose for photos etc and Teller speaks quite a lot during that time. They stay outside until everyone has had a chance to meet them even if it takes an hour or more. After their show in Birmingham a few years ago Teller said how much he enjoyed chatting to fans, the show was work, the after show was fun.

I think their three part series "Magic and Mystery Tour" is still up on YouTube, as they're not on stage he's quite chatty on that! Brilliant programmes, well worth a watch.
