‘The Big Bang Theory’ Looks Back on Why Jim Parsons Was Perfect as Sheldon (VIDEO)
Jim Parsons was Sheldon Cooper, and no one else could have taken on the role like he did.
That’s the sentiment shared in TV Insider’s exclusive look at one of the featurettes on the Big Bang Theory complete series Blu-ray and DVD set.
“I really liked how they packed all this stuff into these little paragraphs that needed to be worked on and figured out,” Parsons recalls, as we see a clip of Sheldon explaining an extended version of rock-paper-scissors. “It played like a song, to my ear.”
“I never anticipated the character being the way he crafted it,” co-creator Chuck Lorre admits.
