Jim Parsons Interview

As an actor, it seems that Jim Parsons can do no wrong. Not only has he won two Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Emmys – he’s also was nominated once before winning and is currently nominated yet again – and a Golden Globe for his portrayal of THE BIG BANG THEORY’s fussy geek genius Sheldon Cooper but he won a Drama Desk Award and a Theatre World Award for his performance as Tommy Boatwright in the 2011 Broadway debut of the play THE NORMAL HEART (the show originally premiered off-Broadway in 1985), about the early days of the AIDS epidemic; according to IMDB, Parsons is scheduled to reprise the role in a 2014 film adaptation. He just wrapped his second Broadway gig earlier this month, playing Elwood P. Dowd in the revival of HARVEY, about a man whose best friend is a giant rabbit that only he can see. As if this weren’t enough, Parsons also had a show-stopping duet with Jason Segel in last year’s hit film THE MUPPETS.

Parsons is, in short, a success by any measure – and yet the actor from Houston, Texas, remains as cordial and courteous in person as if he doesn’t spend a good portion of his non-performing time talking to interviewers.
