Received another great success from Emmy and Golden Globe winner Jim Parsons. Known as the one and only Sheldon Cooper by fans of CBS's hit comedy The Big Bang Theory, Jim has created one of the most unique and comical characters in recent television history. From his quirky, all-too-frequent Bazingas to his blunt remarks regarding Howard's negligence to obtain his Masters Degree; Leonard's obsession with coidus over physics, comic books, and superheroes; Penny's community college "achievements" and Nebraskan, backwoods upbringing; and Raj's demeanor as an awkward, silent foreigner from India living in California, the writing and Jim's delivery is ALWAYS on point and has made the show the great success it is today (hence the Emmy and Golden Globe wins, both for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy). Both Jim and co-star Johnny Galecki (of Roseanne) were nominated for Emmy Awards based on their performances this past season, and the show was nominated for Best Comedy again this year.
Jim has been in the Tony award-winning Broadway play The Normal Heart since April (which marks his Broadway debut) -- starring alongside Ellen Barkin and John Bejamin Hickey (who both won Tonys for their performances) -- and the show closed this past weekend after a very successful run. I sent my request in late April once I knew the show would be there to stay and am SO glad I heard back from him once more. I received my first success from Jim back in March 2010 via The Big Bang Theory filming set on the Warner Bros. lot and out of the entire cast of five, Jim was the only one who replied to my letter. He not only signed and personalized my photo and added a humorous caption, but also sent me a nice note as well. This is a man who truly appreciates his fans, and it shows. He is absolutely incredible at what he does and I look forward to seeing many, MANY more hilarious, Sheldon-filled episodes of The Big Bang Theory.
