Jim Parsons

One of my current favorite TV shows is The Big Bang Theory, and my favorite character on the show has to be Sheldon Cooper. The role of Sheldon is played by Jim Parsons.

Prior to TBBT Parsons' television credits included a recurring role in the CBS series Judging Amy and a guest starring appearance on the show Ed. He has also been on the big screen in movies including Garden State, Heights, 10 Items or Less, School for Scoundrels, On the Road with Judas, and Gardener of Eden.

*The 5th Season of The Big Bang Theory premiered Thursday, September 22nd*

    Great bio! We actually know a few people in the Sheldon mold. Trust us, it's funnier on teevee than in real life...

    Upped, and Lenrolled to our TBBT lens.

    How funny! I was just researching this and thinking about doing my own lens on Sheldon (the character) and found that you've got Jim covered. I LOVE Sheldon. Great lens! :)

    I watch both "The Big Bang Theory" and "Chuck", so on Monday nights I am really able to enjoy some geek-oriented comedies! I like Jim's droll portrayal of Sheldon and the way that the character is so self-absorbed as to be entirely oblivious to his (endearing) social ineptitude. The episode in which everyone tries to keep Sheldon from finding out that Penny has fired a paintball into his "spot" on the sofa and that Leonard has been picking up Chinese food for him from a different restaurant and re-boxing the takeout food (because his favorite restaurant went out of business) was a classic! I'm glad to see that Jim is a fellow Texan. Thank you Christene, for this lens!
