To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
From Jim Parsons
I'm also a big 'American Idol' fan. I think it's just great fun.
When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting.
I've always loved TV very much, and as a child I was so religious with it, but now it's more when it fits in.
I was very average in the social label scale going through school. I was neither the coolest person in school, nor did I suffer the slings and arrows of being made fun of to such a degree that I couldn't get through the day.
As a human being, you know that there are some days when you'd rather not talk to anybody - but I can't really do that anymore without appearing rude.
I think intelligence is usually sexy until it becomes irritating. After that, you're stuck.
I think in any form of acting, you're always well served if you've done theater.
I love seeing tennis up close.
I grew up with two different parakeets - one that lived for five years, and one that lived for 13 years - so I always had a bit of an attraction to birds and it's an oddly good fit to be in a movie about birdwatchers.
