'Grateful' Mayim Bialik Is 'Interested' in Revisiting 'The Big Bang Theory' Universe: 'A Unique Experience'

Mayim Bialik is open to exploring more about her The Big Bang Theory character, Farrah Fowler, if the right opportunity comes.

"There was an official Chuck Lorre spinoff announced called Stuart Fails To Save The Universe, starring Kevin Sussman, Lauren Lapkus, Brian Posehn and John Ross Bowie, which is awesome. Our characters clearly resonated with people for a reason, and I think people would be interested in more. I've been incredibly thrilled to be a part of the Chuck Lorre universe and this cast — anyway that I can do it again, I'd be very grateful," the actress, 49, exclusively tells OK! while talking about her partnership with Cree Lighting, which is introducing its most advanced, design-forward line of lighting, available exclusively at Lowe's.

Due to everyone's schedules, they haven't done a "full cast hang" since the series ended in 2019, but the cast is still tight to this day. "I was very close with Melissa Rauch, who played Bernadette, and when she was on Night Court, several of us made cameos, so that was really fun," she gushes. "Me, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar were on it. I wrote and directed a movie called As They Made Us after Big Bang, and Simon was one of the stars alongside Dustin Hoffman and Candice Bergen. We've all interacted in different ways. Jim Parsons was the executive producer of Call Me Kat, which I did for three seasons after Big Bang. We all have these different permutations of still getting to stay in touch."

"The way I describe it is imagine going to work and not liking the people that you have to interact with day in and day out," she continues of their close-knit bond. "I know people all over the world may have that experience. We are very fortunate. We had this place we liked to go and interact in, so it's very special. It was for 10 years — 10 years of my life, and even longer for other cast members. It was a unique experience for sure."

As a neuroscientist in real life and on TV, the Blossom alum understands how the innovation and science behind can impact well-being and cognitive function. Cree Lighting is introducing its most advanced, design-forward line of lighting available exclusively at Lowe's. The new collection is about creating experiences-from winding down at night to finding focus during the day of entertaining in style.

"This is very on-brand for me. I am a geek and a scientist, and I am interested in how things like lighting change our lifestyle. It's one of the conversations many of us are having around sleep and how to get better sleep. A lot of that has to do with the kind of lighting you experience," she explains. "I think that's why it felt like a slam dunk for me, especially when we're talking about low blue light and the adjustability of different moods of light to affect our actual mood, so that was a really fun connection."

"There's a variety of bulbs and lighting options that are available. As a mom, the fact that they are high quality is great. They also last longer, meaning I'm replacing bulbs less, which is awesome," she quips.

For the podcast host, it's been quite a trip getting to "live in the acting world and creative world."

"And then I get the opportunity to live in the science world," she shares. "That's why I like working on campaigns like this because it's blending creativity, fun and innovcation with true science and technology. It feels like a represntation of my brain at the same time!"

"I had gone to grad school, I was kind of out of the industry, I had two kids, and I auditioned for The Big Bang Theory — not because it was a scientist role," she reveals. "Just because I was auditioning for things and all the other talented women that I was competing against, none of them were scientists! So, this was an acting role, and it happened to kind of overlap with my life. The funny thing is — when I was in the first episode of The Big Bang Theory, which was the Season 3 finale, my character didn't have a job. She was just on a date with Sheldon, and it was a random setup, so it was only when they brought me back in Season 4 that they. decided to give me a science profession."

"When people ask me, 'How did being a scientist help you out on The Big Bang Theory?' It was mainly that words were easier for me to pronounce," she adds. "The concepts that the characters were talking about, I had a vague familiarity with, and obviously, I had training in physics as well. Jim Parsons once said, I am the only person from the cast who not only understands what my lines mean, but what everybody's lines mean. That wasn't entirely true, but it was true a lot!"
