Working as an extra, or just being in the audience was a special experience for those connected to The Big Bang Theory. In the following, we’re going to take a closer look at what went on behind the scenes according to extra and fans in the audience.
As it turns out, memorizing lines wasn’t always easy for Jim Parsons. However, the actor also created quite the buzz with fans during tapings. We’ll take a look at a specific moment that saw the live audience completely stunned, as Parsons drops his pants in front of Mayim Bialik, aka Amy, which of course was part of the show. The hilarious moment showed Sheldon in his tighty whities.
We’ll look back at how the moment was received, while putting the spotlight on other unique aspects that took place for a fan that got to experience The Big Bang Theory from the live audience.
He was the highest paid actor in all of Hollywood back in 2017 and with reason, Jim Parsons not only thrived in his role as Sheldon, but memorizing that script seemed to be an impossible task, at least from a fan perspective.
Remembering every line wasn’t always easy. According to a show’s extra Jenny Chen, Parsons would at times struggle to remember every word from the dialogue.
She revealed, “I felt a lot of sympathy for Jim Parsons as we had to reset the entire scene numerous times when he messed up his lines. You could tell it was frustrating for him. But for me, each time he stumbled, it would just be a reminder of how difficult his lines were and how impressive it was that he could deliver them so naturally, so Sheldon-esque.”
Parsons did find ways to facilitate his process, and one of the ways was by creating Q-cards and walking around his house, memorizing the lines. Credit to Parsons for being able to pull this off for 12 seasons. In fact, his audition was so polished that Chuck Lorre didn’t believe he’d be able to repeat it on a consistent basis. Thankfully, Lorre reconsidered.
