Jim Parsons ... From "The Big Bang Theory" to "The Boys in the Band"

[left-of-center2012]

A great interview with Jim Parsons regarding his performing in the Broadway show,
“The Boys in the Band”.

It’s Parsons’s third time on Broadway; his role as Tommy in The Normal Heart garnered a Drama Desk Award nomination (for stage) and an Emmy nomination for his reprisal in the film version of it.
He also appeared in a 2012 revival of Mary Chase's Harvey as Elwood P. Dowd.
There are also four primetime Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe to his name, and earlier this month, GLAAD honored him with the Stephen F. Kolzack Award,
which is given to an out LGBT entertainer or media personality for their work toward eliminating homophobia.

1. If I remember correctly

He was one of a very few selected to be part of The Globe Theaters Shakespeare program in San Diego. He auditioned for Sheldon and was so spot on they asked to come back the next day to make they were really seeing what they were seeing. A one of a kind character PERFECTLY portrayed by a great actor.

2. seeing him play the nasty boss in "Hidden Figures" was a bit of a shock

I know he is an actor and has won accolades, but to me he was so tied to his "Sheldon Cooper" role that it was hard to separate him from that.

3. I saw him in "The Normal Heart"

I had no trouble separating him from his role as Sheldon Cooper.
