Jim Parsons Chats Spoiler Alert

For more than a decade, Jim Parsons portrayed theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper in the runaway hit Big Bang Theory. Every day the show airs in constant reruns and it’s hard to imagine that the iconic show is gone. As some TV actors suffer the fate of losing their career by being typecast as the very character that earned them fame, Parson’s career continues to thrive and though he looks back affectionately at Sheldon, his focus is on the future. This season sees the premiere of Spoiler Alert, an emotional roller coaster of a film that will no doubt garner headlines that read “Jim Parsons Like You’ve Never Seen Him Before!” Indeed, this is Parsons at his most intimate, his most vulnerable. Sheldon is clearly a figure of the past. His work has earned him nine Emmy Award nominations (winning four), and four Golden Globe nominations (winning for Big Bang).

On this episode of Metrosource Minis, we chat with Parsons about his childhood, his classical theatre training, his coming out without coming out, his love for auditioning, his creative process behind Sheldon, handling media attention, his secret for a long-lasting relationship, the behind the scenes of his latest film Spoiler Alert and how making the movie has changed his life. Hosted by Alexander Rodriguez.
