Currently, Stepanek has a recurring role in CBS' 'Young Sheldon' as Mr. Hubert Givens, Sheldon's (Ian Armitage) science teacher
UPDATED NOV 19, 2018

Brian Stepanek is one of those people you see on TV playing the lovable, often pitiful character in all your favorite shows. He first appeared in our radar as Arwin Hawkhauser, the kooky janitor at the Tipton Hotel, which was the venue for all of Zack and Cody’s shenanigans in Disney's 'The Suite Life of Zack and Cody'. Since then, he has been on many children's shows including, more recently, Nickelodeon’s 'Ricki Nicki Dicki and Dawn', where he played father to the eponymous quadruplets.  

Currently, he has a recurring role in CBS' 'Young Sheldon' as Mr. Hubert Givens, Sheldon’s (Ian Armitage) science teacher. Having worked with Chuck Lorre in projects like 'Two and a Half Men' and 'Mom', Stepanek’s talents were already known to the show's creator, who brought him in for a few more episodes that had been initially intended for the character.
