After saying farewell to Howard Wolowitz's mom, voiced by actress Carol Ann Susi, who passed away in November of last year, the hit show "The Big Bang Theory" is adding another member to the Wolowitz family.

Matt Bennett, who is widely known for playing the role of Robbie Shapiro in the Nickelodeon sitcom "Victorious" and Matt in the movie "The Virginity Hit" has just been recently cast as Josh. According to TV Line, Josh will play Howard's (played by Simon Helberg) younger half-brother, who will unexpectedly show up on Howard and Bernadette's doorstep. He will appear in the April 9 episode of the show, entitled, "The Fortification Implementation."

The surprising arrival of Howard's younger brother is expected to strike a nerve with him, who has not even talked about his younger brother throughout the run of The Big Bang Theory's season 8. The two brothers share a father, who decided to abandon Howard, when he was just a boy.

Aside from Victorious and The Virginity Hit, Matt Bennett has also appeared in a few of other Nickelodeon shows including Sam & Cat and iCarly and had a few short roles in the movies Text Me and Bridesmaids.

Just last month, the 23-year old actor was featured in Ariana Grande's One Last Time music video.
