Personally, I think Jim Parsons is a wonderful actor. He is one of many reasons why I LOVE "The Big Bang Theory" so much.

@anannonymouscoverartist 7 лет назад

Robert Polanco I know!! He's even in a kids movie!!

Niamh Mclarnon heah and the character that he played was basically sheldon cooper in space

@angelacarleton9575 7 лет назад

I can't tell you how much I love "TBBT." It's save my life when things at work were tedious and laughing is the best medicine - thanks Jim Parson who I admired and the rest of the gang!

@anastasiasky2345 7 лет назад

He has such a nice personality and a true talent

@mariyaa111 5 лет назад

If everyone was like Jim, the world would be a better place!! There is something so loveable and genuine about his soul, he just exudes true peace and positivity to me. I love Jim Parsons!!!

@Mia7189 7 лет назад

He's very good in HIDDEN FIGURES. The 'Sheldon-ness' was not there at all and I was able to dislike his character throughout. One of my favorite films so far this year.

@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 7 лет назад

agree

@hilarywitt 7 лет назад

Mia7189 I just thought it was funny that he played a space engineer in HIDDEN FIGURES. Because Sheldon is always making fun of Howard on Big Bang about him just be a space engineer.

@zelamorre1126 7 лет назад

They say that if you can do comedy, you can do drama. Because comedic timing is so much harder to consistently land over dramatic beats. And with somebody who was acting for so long, it doesn't surprise me he was good in Hidden Figures.

@kateblackwell2135 6 лет назад

Can’t wait to see the flick--GREAT actor!

@AJRWilde 6 лет назад

he's 43 but still looks like a little boy

@genebigs1749 6 лет назад

Jim Parsons: AMAZING actor! Sheldon Cooper is, and always will be, one of the most beloved characters in television. Jim seems like a good person as well. Much success in the future, Jim. You bring happiness to millions with your brilliance!

@kornfreak78 7 лет назад

Jim and Johnny are why I love the show so much. In my opinion, they make the show what it is.

@redbloodbluemoon1423 2 года назад

Exactly. Although I love all of them, Sheldon and Leonard are the heart and soul of this show.

@lionessmummy4418 7 лет назад

@dannysimion 7 лет назад

I like his journey. He stuck with it and it paid off. Not a lot of us can say we've followed something so passionate despite the nay sayers objecting to it being ridiculous. Its never about money at the end of it all - its about doing something you're proud of. He's got a nice life and I'm glad for him. He looks good for 43.

@SuperDrLisa 7 лет назад

he is a gentle soul

@Keylargomanatees 7 лет назад

@mixowtlawz007 6 лет назад

I am addicted to The Big Bang Theory.

@swastman2 7 лет назад

In the beggining of TBBT series Jim Parsons Sheldon was the second protagonist but after getting audiences attention and affection he was made the lead actor .

@AnimalJammer101 7 лет назад

Am I the only one who can't think of him as Jim parsons rather than Sheldon cooper? Like no matter how hard I try to tell myself this is jim being Jim, i always picture Sheldon. It's as if Jim was the most perfect actor to play sheldon

@ParomaSenguptapsengupt 7 лет назад

I love you Jim Parsons

@rachelhughes8487 7 лет назад

Ml Ny the interviewer said "he'll be the executive producer in a spin-off series about his character on the big bang theory"

@Liquoricilicious 7 лет назад

@LifeofRaff 3 года назад

Remember this? Now we have young Sheldon lol

@JenPurple2022 7 лет назад

He is a beautiful delicate creature

@kirstinadams9995 7 лет назад

he's gifted a god given talent in acting Jim made the big bang theory without Jim parsons there's no big bang theory.

@badellA86 2 года назад

He's the one celebrity I'd like to meet. His face just cheers me up. ❤️

@Artey86 7 лет назад

A Friends spin off focusing on Joey didn't work, mostly because all of the Friends cast added about the same value to the show and it was only the group itself interacting that made the show great. But The Big Bang Theory rises and falls with Sheldon. He's by far the funniest character, so a spin-off focusing on him might actually work.

@dhruvkaushik4872 4 года назад

Spoiler Alert: It does work...

@StevenandStefanie 7 лет назад

This makes me feel better about acting later in life. I love acting. It's always been so fun for me and a passion of mine but I just recently decided to peruse it and I'm 25 and feel like it's "too late" for me but I have to keep reminding myself that if I keep pushing that maybe it'll happen for me even if it takes awhile

@braxfan683 5 лет назад

Hey Jim, how come you don't age? 💛💛

@melissah8415 7 лет назад

I would think season 11 would be the last and I think they should give one season to the other cast members of being paid the same as the big 3. Come on, the money is there! The show wouldn't be the same without all the other actors.

@FirstLast-vj2sr 7 лет назад

Melissa H Agreed!!

@umiismyname4142 7 лет назад

Melissa H ikr the prequel of sheldon cooper when he was a kid too. i cant wait tho

@haleyblazek4200 7 лет назад

Melissa H The writers said there will be 2 more seasons (at least) until the ending :)

@paulatristan8189 7 лет назад

Melissa H + Good heavens No bite your tongue ❗️❗️❗️Why on earth would you think season 11 would be it. All the actors get paid very well even the ones who aren't top 5 hey it's a nice pay check for doing something you actually like and it's steady income. ::Shakes Melissa :: don't ever say season 11 is it, your nuts 😕❗️❗️BBT is where it's at and the cast will hopefully last well into their late 40's I hope ::crosses fingers :: . I mean I realize that eventually they will all want toove on.. I get it .. but when that day comes it's really gonna break my heart saying goodbye to the cast😞😢😥😢😥 for now let's all enjoy BBT while we can👍👍👍🙋🙌🎆🎇⭐️🎉🌟💜💕💞😘😍👋👏

If I was a producer, I would be clambering to employ Jim ❤ and Kaley 💗

@guruprasadvelip 7 лет назад

My personality is very much similar to Sheldon Cooper. For eg. I always sit to the left on couch, car or public transport. I have germs phobia like Sheldon and many other such characteristics. That is why I love TBBT and Jim. I everyday watch at least 2 episodes of it before going to bed. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER TBBT and all its cast.

@Savitar.2020 4 месяца назад

I'm the same way, even including the left side of the couch and germaphobia thing. Sheldon is really relatable

@missbehavin3123 7 лет назад

Anyone see " who do you think you are? " with him in it? Saw that one of his antecedents was with his father on a steamboat, and they were just about the only ones who survived a fire. We wouldn't have him if those two had perished.

@seriousman99 7 лет назад

The fact that the cast of The Big Bang Theory keep arguing with the producers that they want a bigger payout than $1mil per episode pisses me off. Such greediness :/

@AjkulaDrakula 7 лет назад

To be fair, they are asking for a fair cut. The show is insanely profitable, they are the face of the show, they execute the show, and deserve to have a fair piece of the profit cake. Otherwise the money just goes to the CBS coorporation.

@randomwatcher123 7 лет назад

News came out recently that the original cast took a $100,000 pay cut to raise money so that Mayim/Amy and Melissa/Bernadette get paid more. I don't think they're greedy. If anything, the studio, CBS and WB are.
