"The Big Bang Theory" star Jim Parsons is set to appear in Bravo's "Inside the Actors Studio," where the Emmy Award-winning actor will discuss his successful roles in film, television, and Broadway.
It will be the first time Parsons will make his appearance in the critically-acclaimed show hosted by James Lipton, according to Variety.
"Having an incredibly well-rounded, successful run in theater, film and television, Jim Parsons arrived on our stage for one of the most joyful - and hilarious - evenings in the 21-year history of 'Inside the Actors Studio,' Lipton said of Parsons' appearance on the show, which was previously taped and will air on June 18.
In that particular episode, Parsons will talk about his theater roots in his hometown in Houston, his relationship with long-time partner Todd Spiewak, and how the popular CBS show "The Big Bang Theory" first started and now became one of the most successful series in television.
Not to be missed during that particular episode is Lipton's interview with both Parsons and his Broadway alter-ego "God."
Other stars who have graced "Inside the Actors Studio" include Billy Crystal, George Clooney, Jennifer Aniston, Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Amy Poehler, and the late Robin Williams, among many others.
Parsons has won four Emmys, being nominated seven times in total, and a Golden Globe award for his role as the eccentric Dr. Sheldon Cooper in "The Big Bang Theory."
Because he is so good in portraying the genius scientist, people have often confused the actor with Cooper. Many times, people would like to come up, ask for an autograph or request to have a photo taken with him. However, they hesitate thinking that the anti-social Cooper might object to it.
"I do think that they are uncertain how unapproachable I am going to be," Parsons told The Irish Times. "I am quite the opposite of unapproachable. When I moved to New York I had to steel myself to be a little less welcoming. But how could they know that?"
When asked if Cooper actually has Asperger's Syndrome (a disorder that renders individuals helpless in social situations and non-verbal communication), Parsons had to reflect: "It's a difficult question."
"Very early on I was asked by a reporter whether Sheldon had Asperger's. I wasn't sure what that meant. I asked the writers and they said no," he continued. "He has Asberger traits. But their saying that took away a social responsibility."
