Jim Parsons is most famous for the role of Sheldon Cooper in the "Theory of Big Explosion". However, among the creators of the series, someone doubted for a long time, whether to take Jim to the project.
Recently, one of the scenarios and producers of the series, Bill Priedi, became the guest of the At Home with the Creative Coalition, which he said that his colleague Chook Lorri led the flair during the casting, and he almost "deprived" Parsons.
"My God, we have probably looking for hundred people. When the queue reached Jim Parsons, he adequately showed us Sheldon. Usually on the casting you say: "Well, will go," "This was nothing," "That guy like nothing too." And Jim went on and right on listening gave us that Sheldon, whom you see in the show. He created this character directly on Casting. When Parsons left, I turned and said to colleagues: "This guy! It is he! This is our man! " And Chuck objected: "Not, he will disappoint you yet. He will no longer be able to play like that, "Preddy shared.
According to him, it was the first time he was right, and Lorry was wrong. "It was the only case when Chuck lends the flair on the casting, and on the contrary, there is no. Jim came to us the next day and repeated his speech. And in the end we decided: "This is our Sheldon," Bill summed up.
