Sarah Chalke Looks Back on ‘Roseanne’ Casting

When actress Sarah Chalke began playing Becky on Roseanne, she took over from Lecy Goranson, the original actress in the role. Goranson had left the show after five seasons to focus on her studies at Vassar College. Chalke recently discussed starting on the series with Jesse Tyler Ferguson on his podcast, Dinner’s On Me. She explained that she felt very inexperienced at the time, and that this actually helped her approach the audition and connect with the show’s cast and crew.
