Who Is Sheldon Cooper?

This is the question I asked myself after becoming addicted to The Big Bang Theory which airs on TBS pretty much every night of the week.

My favorite character is a science geek named Sheldon Cooper. He also seems to have a major form of OCD that not even a doctor can help him with. He's picky, analytic and sometimes he really is just a party pooper. Actually, he's always a party pooper.

No one wants to hang around him and he reminds me of a robot when he speaks, not to mention his inability to socialize with people without coming off as bossy, rude and way too blunt for words.

So, Who IS Sheldon Cooper?

Sheldon Cooper is (other than what I've described) played by homosexual actor, Jim Parsons. He's not a nobody, even though most don't recognize his face or his role as Sheldon Cooper.

He actually won a Golden Globe for Best TV Actor and makes a reported $200,000 per episode!

I think Jim does a great job with his role on The Big Bang Theory and if the show ever pulled a Two and A Half Men switch on me I'd abandon it all together, however, I would like to seem him in some other roles.

I could be wrong, but I think he's a great actor and I definitely see him pulling off some awesome roles in larger films. I think he's one of those actors that needs a lot more credit for what he's accomplished.

Some actors kind of stick to certain roles and I'm not sure what kind of personality he has in reality, but I'm wondering if he's open to picking up some new scripts and jumping into something a lot different than the role he has become known for.

Call it wishful thinking, but I could definitely see him getting an Oscar provided Sheldon Cooper hasn't become such a success simply because this is close to Jim Parson's real personality. I just can't imagine that though, but who knows? He could have me fooled! He is, afterall, an actor.
