That actor's name is Michael Trucco. And he was a regular player on the small screen long before he turned up as Dr. David Underhill on "The Big Bang Theory." In fact, by the time Trucco made that 2008 appearance, he'd already made numerous others on some of the best shows of the late '90s and early 2000s, including "Beverly Hills, 90201," "Charmed," "Nash Bridges," and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch." Trucco had, by then, also joined the cast of the beloved "Battlestar Galactica" revival as Ensign Samuel Anders.

Of course, "Battlestar Galactica" came up a couple of times each in the first few seasons of "The Big Bang Theory," and Trucco's co-star Katee Sackhoff even made a pair of guest appearances herself, so it's a safe bet his ties to the sci-fi hit were a big reason he landed his role on "The Big Bang Theory." Not surprisingly, Trucco has kept busy in the years since, making appearances on shows such as "Castle," "Psych," "How I Met Your Mother," "Revenge," "Criminal Minds," and many other series.

He's also become one of Mike Flanagan's regular players, scoring a role in the filmmaker's 2016 horror "Hush," as well as parts in his Netflix ventures "Midnight Mass" and "The Midnight Club." And if Trucco continues to chew the scenery in such high-profile projects, we'll be seeing plenty more of him down the road.
