I have some background, so let anyone who thinks there is nothing to this "acting" thing or doesnt understand why he received multiple Emmys, here is why: He memorizes and acts out mountains of words and you cant ever ONCE see him REMEMBERING them.

Our actors out there will know what I mean. He is remarkable, and very nice, I met him once.

If you watch an episode of BBT you will often see Galecki remembering the words right as he is speaking them, but you will never see Jim do it.

Could just be his delivery.

I think that's just what Leonard does. You really don't get that far as an actor if you're just reciting from memory.
