5. Billy Bob Thornton

Bad Santa and Fargo star Billy Bob Thornton impressed fans with his surprise appearance on the show, playing a urologist who misread Penny's signals and began courting her.
'I said in an interview that my mom's favorite show was The Big Bang Theory. So [exec producer] Chuck Lorre got a hold of my manager and said, "Would you consider doing a guest spot for your mom?" And I said absolutely, because I'll do anything for my mom,' the actor said.
4. Nathan Fillion
Season 8, Episode 15
The Firefly alum played a fan-weary version of himself on TBBT. Raj and Leonard saw him eating alone in a deli and were about to invite him to the reopening of Stewart's comic book store. At the last moment, however, they had doubts that this was actually the real Fillion.
3. Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones
Season 7, Episode 14
The voice of Darth Vader, James Earl Jones, and Princess Leia's Carrie Fisher also guest-starred on the show when Sheldon decided to host his own Comic-Con. Remarkably, this was the first time the two actually met, as they had never seen each other before on the set of Star Wars or afterwards.

In addition to his many cameos in the MCU, the Marvel All-Father once appeared in front of his biggest fans, the TBBT gang.
