Jim Parsons started to act in movies pretty late in his life — he got his first movie role in 2003 at the age of 30. However, his theatrical career began 10 years before. He got world-famous after playing in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory where he embodied the image of the eccentric genius, Sheldon Cooper. This role was so successful for him that even those who didn’t watch a single series of the sitcom, will likely recognize his character.

The final episode of The Big Bang Theory was released in 2019 and they say that the series was finished because of Parsons, who got tired of this successful, but boring for him role.
