He may be known for playing lovable weirdo Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, but actor Jim Parsons demands respect for his theater and movie work, too.
From his humble Texas beginnings, he connected with the drama program in high school and made his way to San Diego, where he studied at the Old Globe Theater.
Parsons also demands respect as Tommy Boatwright in The Normal Heart, a play adapted into a movie by Glee's Ryan Murphy. No doubt he distanced himself from Sheldon a little more, and showed us what true Aries ambition looks like.
