Jim has such an amazing level of sophistication and kindness. He is really a role model for people in my opinion. I truly love him and his show and acting :)
Role model? This fool was lead theoretical physicist which means he was making over 200k a year. What an admirable guy leaching money from people when he could afford to buy the whole building
avery lo Yeah whenever te camera lingered on the interviewer's face, you could almost see cartoon hearts floating around. Very funny. As far as his accent goes, as a North Easterner, he always sounds like he has a southern accent, or a Texas Drawl, but since his speech pattern is so precise, in real life and in character, it doesn't make him sound stupid, as (I'm really sorry, but it's true) as a southern accent can sometimes do.
And to think Chuck Lorre et al. gave Johnny Galecki first dibs on 'Sheldon.' Fortunately, Galecki had the presence of mind to insist that he was bettered tailored for 'Leonard' -- and the rest is history.
The interviewer seems to be hitting on Parsons. The relentless stare with the ambiguous smile, the shirt buttons open too wide to show some chest. I feel as though I'm intruding on a seduction.
Jim: "So I turned something on but I'm not sure it was a Texas accent." *Interviewer smirks and raises eyebrows subtley* This was really awkward to watch, because Jim is really attractive and I think the interviewer was swooning a little too much xD
Why did they keep on showing the interviewer? It said "10 Questions for Actor Jim Parsons," not "10 Questions from Interviewer that has a Serious Crush on Jim Parsons."
i'm not a BBT nut it's ok, but i will say off camera jim is a very articulate intelligent man. his theories and ideas about acting and character are well practiced. he got a quick wit and a good answer for almost everything. kudos jim.
You are a beautiful man your Artistic tendencies with the way you express yourself your hand and arm movements gracefully help your verbal communication. Wow what an honour to see you interviewed
Those were some really great questions to ask. He does a great job as Sheldon. The rest of the characters are rather cliche and I suspect in the future will be forgotten, but he is just so over-the-top that he has become iconic and very popular.
Mr. Parsons character definitely drives the show, but his insight on how the other characters just shrug and accept his idiosyncrasies is a very good insight into why Sheldon is endearing.
I think it was crazy! Jim Parsons you are a great actor! You play a roll, but you are complietly different ^_^ !!! That was really amazing...! Go on, it was great what you do and play Sheldon while you still can! You did a really well job, I think! ;-)
Does it bother anyone else that jim parsons said that he had never seen star trek or dr who, since he's playing a character that is a major fan of those series? i know he's a real person, and he is not like the character, but it kinda changed my point of view when i watch it now.
It's simple, he just didn't watch it. Some people just can't get into it. I at a younger age couldn't get into it, but the past couple years I've watched and fell in love with star trek.
its sad but true. its mainly his image. he is a tall, skinny, baby faced, white guy. unless he gains weight, builds muscle, or grow out a beard/hair he will forever be this character
I've only started watching the Big Bang Theory just recently, but already I'm starting to believe Sheldon may be the most funny and convincingly real character I've ever seen, other then Kramer from Seinfeld, obviously these two are opposites, but I'm talking about my favorite in terms of laughs per episode, both have like a dozen, only like 10-15 minutes into the first episode of the first season all I could think was "goddamn this dude is good, just an amazing actor"
Notice how Jim doesn't make much eye contact with the interviewer...he doesn't want to lead him on in the least. It's pretty obvious from his body language.
Someone Tell Jim/Sheldon To "Watch All The Star Wars & Star Trek Shows, You'll Love It!". They're Very Addictive Once You Start Watching You Can't Stop, Same Goes For All Of The Stargate Shows.
Do a Google search for his interview with the New York Times called "Stalked by Shadows (and a Rabbit)". He himself doesn't say it, but his 10 year gay relationship and his sexuality is mentioned on the second page. It's hard because technically he doesn't outright say it himself, but I don't see the New York Times casually mentioning something like that unless it's true (especially given it's not even the focus of the article).
I feel like the whole reason that the show avoided giving Sheldon the Aspergian DX that seems so fitting, is that it would turn all the other characters' behavior around into generally being the making fun of a person on the autistic spectrum.
For me, some Aspie humor would be like... When a PA who I work with says semi-flatly "Great. I love when the cafeteria's serving salmon." Knowing that there are friends who specifically avoid buying seafood from the cafeteria, I half jokingly ask her if the subtextual tone is in authentic favor or disfavor, by asking with almost a Spock-like querying expression "... Sarcasm?". Maybe 7/9 of the time, it turns out that the person may share my love for salmon day, and in that case, the question of a shred of sarcasm is a bit of a "Bazinga" moment.
