‘Big Bang’ Star Reveals Why he was Finished

The “Big Band Theory” has finally ended its run after becoming one of TV’s most popular shows ever. Actor Jim Parsons who played Sheldon Cooper has revealed why he made the decision not to keep playing his character.

According to Fox News:

Jim Parsons, who plays Sheldon Cooper, was previously rumored to be behind the decision not to return beyond Season 12. While the show is an ensemble, Parsons’ character is perhaps the most well-known and beloved of all the characters, with many storylines revolving around his high-maintenance attitude. The 46-year-old actor has even won several Emmy Awards for his portrayal.

“It was the first time in my life of doing this show that it occurred to me that I might want to not do another contract after [Season] 12 was up,” he explained. “I don’t know if it’s because I’m an Aries or just because maybe I’m in touch with myself. Whatever it is, once I had that thought, I was like, ‘Well, that’s your answer.'”

Ironically, Parsons is the only member of the cast that will stay in the “Big Bang Theory” ecosystem thanks to his voice-over role on the prequel spinoff “Young Sheldon.” However, the star wears many hats including producer of the Netflix series “Special.” In addition, he’ll reprise his Broadway role in the Netflix adaptation of “The Boys in the Band.”

“There was no factor; there was no situation that I was like, ‘Well, I’ve had enough of that.’ No. There was nothing like that. It was just…when you know, you know. And you’re susceptible and thrown around by the whims of your own existence and getting to a certain age and your life changes and suddenly you just think different,” Parsons continued. “It has been fascinating to think about who I was 12 years ago. And sometimes when I have trouble learning a line or saying a line of Sheldon’s right now, it’s hard to know why specifically. But it’s like, you’re not the same person you were. There is a possibility that this actually became more difficult for you in a way. And I don’t know what that means but it’s like you just change.”

Creator Chuck Lorre said he considered continuing the show without Sheldon’s character but landed on the decision to just end it.
