As for his character, Robbie Pendergrast, Pelphey was immediately drawn to "what a big heart he has," he says. “It's always so interesting to me to put what could essentially be a very good person in impossible situations that then their behavior seems bad. 

This guy's working full-time, raising his kids by himself, doesn't have much money, doing whatever he needs to do to take care of his family. And maybe we could say, 'Well, that's not the best way to go about it.' But at the end of the day, he really is trying his best."

It’s a notion that hits home for Pelphrey while navigating his increasingly busy career and life with Cuoco and their daughter. “When it comes to getting to be a dad, I’m so grateful it happened a little later in life,” he explains. “I would’ve done my best always, but there’s zero part of me that is confused about the order the priorities go in.”
