Born March 24, 1973 in UsefulNotes/{{Houston}}, Texas, James Joseph Parsons began his acting career on the stage of the University of Houston, where he was a founding member of a theater troupe known as Infernal Bridegroom Productions. By the time he had earned his master's degree in Fine Arts at the University of San Diego, his list of theater credits was staggering -- ''Endgame'', ''What Happened Was'', ''Theatre/GuysAndDolls'', and ''The Balcony'' are only a few he appeared in. Parsons toiled for a few years after moving to Hollywood, getting small parts in commercials (Fed Ex, Quiznos, Stride gum, etc.), TV shows (''Series/JudgingAmy'', ''Ed'') movies (''Film/GardenState'', ''School For Scoundrels''), and three axed TV pilots for the Creator/{{FOX}} network.

Then, sometime in 2006, Parsons stumbled upon a character named Sheldon Cooper. Sheldon wasn't a resident of FOX -- he was going to be a supporting character on a new Creator/{{CBS}} sitcom called ''Series/TheBigBangTheory''. He was supposedly a post-doc string theorist with an astronomical IQ and an [[InsufferableGenius ego to match]]. Parsons auditioned for the part -- and so blew series creator Chuck Lorre away that he asked him back for a second audition to make sure it wasn't a fluke.
