Jim Parsons is a force to reckon with. The actor who started his Broadway career in 2011 bagged his first role as Tommy Boatwright in the play The Normal Hear. He then auditioned for between 15 and 30 television pilot but none of these shows made it to the screen due to one reason or another. It all changed when he landed a role in The Big Bang Theory as Sheldon Cooper. Parsons essayed the role for 2007 to 2019 and is considered as one of the wittiest characters to have ever been written. The character even got its own spinoff series titled Young Sheldon.
Parsons won four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a TCA Award, and two Critics' Choice Television Awards for his portrayal as Sheldon. Cooper is a senior theoretical physicist at The California Institute of Technology (Caltech). He shares an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and is also friends and coworkers with Howard Wolowitz (Simon Helberg) and Raj Koothrappali (Kunal Nayyar). His character is quite witty and unreasonably annoying at times. He has the weirdest things to say to people and is loved for the very same reason.
Jim Parsons is celebrating his 48th birthday today and to celebrate his birthday, we have listed 7 of his wittiest dialogues from The Big Bang Theory. From making fun of people's wit to reasoning why he is not listening to someone, here is a look at some really amazing quotes by Sheldon Cooper.
