Parson’s portrayal of Sheldon Cooper earned him an impressive fourEmmysthroughout the course of the series.
“It’s surprisingly easy,” Parsons said of playing Sheldon (via “TODAY”).
I think that’s part of the reason the show’s so successful.
As it turns out, however, Parsons almost never got to play Sheldon at all.
“He created that character at that audition.
And he left the room and I turned and I went, ‘That’s the guy!
That’s the guy!
That’s the guy!’
And Chuck turned and he said, ‘Nah, he’s gonna break your heart.
He’ll never give you that performance again.'”
And Jim Parsons came back in the next day and gave us that exact same performance again.
It was like, ‘This is Sheldon.'"
