Jerry O’Connell has given a new look at his character on The Big Bang Theory.
The Stand By Me actor will star as the brother of Sheldon Cooper, played by Jim Parsons.
O’Connell shared a photograph of himself and Parsons in character, in which he is sporting a long wig and a large belt buckle while touching Parsons on the shoulder.

It will be the first time the character is shown on The Big Bang Theory, although the younger version has appeared on Young Sheldon.
