When most people think of The Big Bang Theory, they tend to think of the main cast of characters, with Leonard, Penny and Sheldon often cited as some of the best sitcom heroes to ever grace television.

However, fans forget just how expertly the show's supporting cast was created. And we are not talking about Raj and Howard, as they are still considered to be the main characters, charming in each and every episode of the show.

Here are the 10 best TBBT supporting characters, ranked:

Yes, a lot of stars appeared in small roles on TBBT, because at the time, when the show about four nerds was the hottest new thing, everyone working in television tried to appear in it, no matter how small the roles were.

However, only a select few (obviously represented on this list) were able to make a lasting impression on fans and critics. From icons like Bob Newhart to new blood like John Ross Bowie, TBBT featured a plethora of memorable performers, each of whom left their own unique mark on the show.

Without its wonderful supporting cast, TBBT would have been just another boring sitcom, but with such wonderful help from the entire array of talented performers, the show truly blossomed into something more than just a show.
