'The Big Bang Theory's' Jim Parsons isn't a total geek

[Иланна]

If there is one breakthrough TV role over the past year or so, it is Jim Parsons' turn as physicist Sheldon Cooper in the hit CBS sitcom "The Big Bang Theory." Brilliant, supercilious, socially clueless, Cooper is alternately hysterical and horrifying. And Parsons' Emmy-nominated performance is so spot-on, it seems as if the character and the actor are the same person. But unlike Sheldon, the tall (6-foot-2), 36-year-old Parsons, a Houston native, is actually a sports fan who does not speak Klingon. Lewis Beale discussed the role and other matters with Parsons while he was on a production break.

What did you think about the part when you first read for it?
As a character, I don't know I felt a relation at all. What I had a feeling about was the way the dialogue was structured, the way they had structured Sheldon's speeches. Sheldon has always taken that many words to get to a point. I thought, and I still think, they brilliantly use those words that most of us don't recognize to create that rhythm. And the rhythm got me. It was the chance to dance through that dialogue, and in a lot of ways still is.

In some ways Sheldon is so out of it socially, you wonder if he's borderline autistic. Is he?
I got asked early on, does he have Asperger's ? And I asked the writers, and they said no. Then I read up, and he does share traits with Asperger's and autism. But the writers say he doesn't have that, so that's that. His curse is his blessing, it's how intelligent he is. And his intelligence in general causes him to be able to focus so singularly on the task at hand, that things inevitably fall by the wayside that wouldn't in a normal circumstance.

You're so identified with the character right now, are you worried at all that you'll be typecast in the future?
No. I see the reality, I see the "problem" that it could pose for me. But I say no because I don't really have a choice at the end of the day. I feel like I throw myself no more or no less into this role than I have in anything else. I feel like, as an actor, should I be pulling back on how much I give to this character? Should I soften his edges so I don't make the same impression? That's the only thing I can do, and that's an impossibility.

You're actually a classically trained actor who studied at the Old Globe in San Diego, which has a rigorous program based on Shakespeare. How did that hone your skills?
I knew the Old Globe had a groundedness in working on Shakespeare. I had done some, but not a lot, and they asked me in the interview, you don't have much Shakespeare, and we just left it at that. They let me in, and I can't tell you how often I have thought about working on Shakespeare while working on these passages they write for Sheldon - the dense road you wend your way through past those lines. It takes more effort than I ever thought a sitcom would take. And that's really the fun of it.

What were your influences growing up?
I was very interested in sitcoms. I remember watching "Three's Company" a lot. And I was really formed by "Family Ties," "The Cosby Show." As far as movies went, my parents took me to "Star Wars," and when I began making my own choices. "Grease" was big, then, when I was older, "The Color Purple."

When did you realize you could make it as an actor?
I did a play in high school, "Noises Off," it's a farce, and it was the first time I felt the most honest connection to a character and a play. It was the first time I felt like an honest-to-God actor. I thought it was going to be horrible, and I'm still astounded at the reaction we got. I realized it was something I was good at.

Sheldon is kind of the ultimate geek. In what ways are you geeky?
I like words, and I like numbers. I like crossword puzzles a lot. I like to deal with lists and rankings and statistics. I'm surprised I'm not more into baseball, because I could geek on that. I love Casey Kasem's Top 40, I love that order. I love seeing what were the nominated Oscar films.

The Geek Shall Inherit the Earth (01.01.2010)

[Иланна]

JIM PARSONS is in position to take over prime-time television, as more and more fans have been turned on to his hit show, The Big Bang Theory.

AT FIRST GLANCE, SHELDON COOPER, PHD — Jim Parsons’s character on CBS’s runaway hit The Big Bang Theory — appears to be your average neighborhood hipster. He’s got the lanky frame, the long-sleeved shirt layered under a cool logoed tee — the whole shebang. But as soon as Sheldon opens his mouth, you realize a hipster he isn’t. In fact, he’s an awkward, geeky überscientist who easily earns a spot among TV’s least socially skilled characters in history.

Parsons, 36, so completely inhabits the character that it’s hard to believe a conversation with him would be easy. Luckily, he’s just that good of an actor. (We should have guessed that — Parsons was nominated this year for his first Emmy for the role.) The real Parsons, a true Southern gentleman who hails from Houston, loves a good chat.

You’ve had roles in movies and TV shows, but Sheldon Cooper is your biggest so far. When you first read the sсript, what effect did you think The Big Bang Theory would have on your career?
In some ways, I can’t believe where we are with the show, how long we’ve been working on it now. At the same time, it all happens so day-by-day. I did feel special about it when I received the material, because you’re doing so many auditions, and this was the rare one that came in that I was like, I think I would put me on a short list of people who should bring this character to life. You don’t know if [the casting directors] will agree, but luckily for me, they did.

Sheldon’s an interesting guy. Do you like him?
I would say that yes, I am fond of him. It’s not anything necessarily that I’ve done. It’s as much the writing. He’s such a nonmalicious character. He comes by his faux pas so honestly. He’s just so methodical, and he’s so scientific in mind. It just stops him from engaging in social niceties. He doesn’t have time for it, and frankly, it doesn’t occur to him. There’s some version of arrested development in his brain socially, dealing with people. He’s just really busy doing a lot of other things, and nobody ever asked that of him. One wonders how capable he is of actually ever getting there. Perhaps that’s season seven, God willing.

Does your body hurt after you finish playing him? It seems like you have to be kind of contained.
You couldn’t be describing this better. No, I don’t hurt, and honestly, I don’t really consciously think about it. I’ve rarely made many conscious decisions on how he should move or how he should sound. One thing I always say is that I’m amazed at how much the sound of this character, if you will, is simply affected by how many consonants and words are coming out of his mouth.

Has any of the Sheldon containment slipped into your regular life?
I’ve always had a certain way of moving awkwardly. There’s been great fun at the expense of imitating my walk throughout my life at different times. There’s something both that I have control over and have no control over about my physicality. I will either have a very healthy body at a ripe old age, or I’ll be the first person in my peer group to break a hip at 60. I can’t tell where that goes.

This is your second go-round playing a character fluent in Klingon, the first being in Garden State. Are you okay with that?
It is very odd. Well, no it’s not. Who knows why somebody who has never watched Star Trek — who had no idea what the Klingon language would sound like — has been asked twice in his adult life to play somebody who has an intimate relationship with this Klingon language. But, and this is an easy example, why would somebody who’s asked to [agree to] play a murderer? What fits naturally about that? What looks right? Yes, he could kill someone?

What’s your fan base like?
It’s all over the map as far as gender, age range, type of person. I’ve had fan mail from prison. I don’t know what the crime was.

Говорящий ноут Шелдона

[Иланна]

Помните, в эпизоде было?

Для того, чтобы ноут "заговорил", нужно:
1. Открыть блокнот.
2. Вставить туда текст:
CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice").Speak "Merry Christmas"
Причем вместо Merry Christmas можно написать любой текст (вероятно, только на английском).
3. Сохранить в формате VBS (при сохранении называем файл любоеназвание.vbs)
4. Запустить полученный файл.
