Chartacter Dissection2- Jim Parsons

‘Soft Kitty

Warm Kitty

Little ball of fur’

And you probably gave away a smile. Every time we hear it, we heart it. The BIG BANG THEORY guyzz and galzzz is the most authentic non-sexist (well most of the time) yet most naturalistic and humour evoking show based on the lives of the three physicists and the girl next door. And also a bit racist.

John Galecki and Kaley Cuoco are the hot couple here but the character that takes away the cake is none other than Sheldon Cooper; Shelly to his mother, Dumbass to his fellow scientist (you know which one) and 8th wonder of the world to the rest of them is a complete riot on the show. And the credit goes to Jim Parsons wholly. Those rantings, high speed dialogue delivery, faces and how can we forget the three-times door knock. And when he hurts others and comes back with ‘There, There’ we feel like calling him MAD but no…his mother had him tested.

Jim Parsons was born on March 24, 1973 as James Joseph ‘Jim’ Parsons.  Although acted in minor roles in movies like School for scoundrels and Muppets his major lies in theatre and has acted in several plays before trying Television. His talent was spotted by Chuck Lorre the director of the show when Jim came for the audition of the character of Sheldon Cooper. They all were mesmerised so much so that Lorre didn’t even call for the second audition and hired him instantly.  He went on to win several accolades. In August 2009, Parsons won the Television Critics Association award for individual achievement in comedy, beating Alec Baldwin, Tina Fey, Steve Carell, and Neil Patrick Harris.^[10][18] He was nominated for Emmy awards in 2009 and 2010, winning in 2010 for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.^[19] In September 2010, Parsons and co-stars Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco signed new contracts, guaranteeing each of them $200,000 per episode for the fourth season of The Big Bang Theory, with substantial raises for each of the next three seasons. The three were also promised a percentage of the show's earnings.^[20] In January 2011, he won the Golden Globe award for Best Actor in a Television Series – Comedy (the award was presented by co-star Cuoco).

                Jim Parsons is the older of the two children and is reportedly gay with relationship of over ten years. He was one of seven students accepted into a special two-year course in classical theater, taught in partnership with the Old Globe Theater. Program director Rick Seer recalled having reservations about admitting Parsons, saying, "Jim is a very specific personality. He's thoroughly original, which is one reason he's been so successful. But we worried, 'Does that adapt itself to classical theater, does that adapt itself to the kind of training that we're doing?' But we decided that he was so talented that we would give him a try and see how it worked out. Indeed it worked quite well and we still get floored and humoured with every episodes of the show and so much is the love that I think math, science, history, unravelling the mystery; it all started with the big bang. Well who can disagree.’BAZINGA’

Happy reading.
