Leonard Hofstadter (Character) -Big Bang Theory

Name: Leonard Leakey Hofstadter, PhD.Occupation: Experimental physicist.IQ: 173.

Leonard is an experimental physicist at Caltech. He shares an apartment with Sheldon Cooper.

While Leonard, along with the other geeks, is somewhat socially inept, Leonard would like to be better accepted outside of his geeky social group. Leonard is more well-adjusted than his companions, being more willing to try different things.

Leonard Leakey Hofstadter needed a place to stay when he started at the university, so he answered an ad and went through all of the hurdles to become Sheldon's roommate, even though he was warned at the time that Sheldon was crazy. For some reason, he didn't believe it, and chose to sign the Roommate Agreement and move into Sheldon's apartment. Leonard put a couch in the living room, so they could actually have guests, and brought in new friends (Howard and Raj), much to Sheldon's displeasure. 

When a new girl, Penny, moved next door, Leonard wanted to meet her. She talked him into getting something back from her ex-boyfriend, and a relationship of sorts was formed between Penny and the men across the hall. Leonard always wanted to date Penny, and eventually his dream came true. Eventually, they broke up, and Penny dated a not-too-bright guy. After spending time with her new man and Leonard, she found out she can no longer handle being with a stupid guy, so perhaps the door is open for Leonard to get back together with her?

 We shall see. Whatever happens there, Leonard always has his friends Sheldon, Howard and Raj to fall back on to hang out with.

Leonard suffers from myopia (nearsightedness) and allergies.
Leonard is from New Jersey.
