Jim Parsons Career Retrospective | Conversations on Broadway

[@maripozacolorado]

he is so chatty, sometimes he forgets what he was saying, but it's so adorable, I love this guy ! and remember his final quote: Someone else's success is not your failure !

[@EmmaCohen91]

I might be 5 years too late in commenting here, but when he started to cry, I wanted nothing more than to reach through my phone screen and hug him ❤️ Jim, you are truly one in a million 💕

[@Selfemployedmildautisticperfor]

[@andreamartinez6929]

I could listen to him over and over . Hes such a beautiful human being . Love him so.much

[@dieguugleplus7211]

A magnificent actor. One in a million..

[@debranquist4948]

You said it perfectly!

[@VtRD]

I would love to see Jim in a film that truly showcases him, and wins the Oscar for him. Not a comedy, he has more depth.

[@lovelife1.072]

What a fantastic human being. You can see how he still doesn't take his Big Bang Theory popularity for granted. I love how down to earth and open and honest he is.

[@taylorsavath4426]

Seeing Jim get so emotional really got to me in a way I wouldn't expect.

[@alicedeuk6108]

Jim Parsons is a TRUE Genius. He is so gorgeous and a great artist.

[@laurajohnston6575]

Jim Parsons you truly are a treasure.

[@sarawelch8570]

I hope they do another conversation with Jim Parsons.

[@victoriapankina9710]

Moderator is absolutely right, Jim is truly one of the nicest people in show business. The nicest I know. It's great that big money didn't spoil him. It's clearly seen that Jim is goodhearted and kind, and people understand that. I've never seen a single negative comment about him. How could a man be so perfect?

[@Selfemployedmildautisticperfor]

Nice society accepts glbts more to

[@pacovl46]

Wow, I think this is the first video I ever watched on KZbin where there are no negative comments on the first page!!! Speaks volumes for the man!!!

[@user-tf4cz5qr8u]

Most positive comment section in the world

[@shelbyzimmerman]

And this just makes me want to watch everything that he's been apart of because everything he talked about all sounded amazing.

[@GaynorPaynter01]

Watching this now and just found out that Jim just got awarded a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fabulous!!

[@lar9299]

Jim is an awesome human being, he's so lovable and nice ann sensitive. I love him

[@purplemonkey445]

I love and respect Jim even more after watching this. He really should consider becoming a Visiting Professor or something. He would make such a wonderful teacher!

[@donnamj59]

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed watching this conversation with Jim. It was wonderful to have such a long time to really get to know him instead of three or four minute snippets. And, I thought I was going to cry a river of tears when he became so emotional about "The Normal Heart" and the people we lost to this dreadful disease before people finally began to listen. Kudos Mr. Parsons! And, thank you SAG for providing these wonderful conversations with some of our great actors.

[@macfae]

This is the best interview with Jim that I have seen. Totally enjoyable, interesting and revealing. So happy to have finally gotten to know a bit of the person rather than just the characters he portrays. I was really moved to tears when the conversation turned back to The Normal Heart and Jim choked up for a minute.

[@madelineb77]

I was about to type the same exact first line as you...you said it perfectly. Best interview.

[@dettitted]

Thank you Jim Parsons for being born.

[@lilshorty6239316]

LOL Jim talks so much! He always forgets where he was going..Gotta love him! :)

[@moonlightlady6126]

What an amazing persona, both in interviews and on the screen. I could listen and watch Jim Parsons forever. Talent like "this guy" doesn't come along everyday, but let's give the guy another credit. His "hard work" has really paid off. Nothing is handed to us in this life, is it. God Bless You Jim Parsons and much continued success.

[@jeanjaaa]

Just when I thought I couldn't love and respect Jim more but here's an interview I just bumped into after becoming a new fan of him. He is so talented and eloquent. I love how he talks a lot which is an enough proof that he loves every show, play, and projects he had. When he said he's lucky to get an agent, I want to say it's not just luck but rather pure talent that agents, like everybody else, see in him. He is an extraordinary actor who deserves to be treasured in the industry. He can make people laugh and cry at the same time. Speaking of which, I want to hug him when he started crying 😭 his character in Normal Heart really did hit him so hard that it was hard for him to explain the experience. I totally get him. Also, the lessons he shared are so worthy to be applied in life. I love Jim so much! 😢❤

[@ViciousNarwhal]

Oh, I just love him, most heartfelt person, he made me cry!

[@mtother1101]

he is pleasure to listen to , so sincere and soooo serious

[@ashleyw34m]

Loved this interview - it felt like I got to know Jim Parsons, the actor, instead of simply hearing the same questions and answers about Big Bang Theory. He seems like an interesting person, I'd love to see him in his upcoming Broadway play.

[@haleyblazek4200]

When jim cries it brakes my heart😭😭❤❤

[@multiverse4271]

It's crazy that it was 7 years ago. I love watching and listening him. He's so inspirational. This interview is one of my favourite, it's truly honest and emotional. I'd love to see a new one The last question and his answer really got me❤️ 1:26:35 1 What are you bring to the party 2 You are enough 3 Someone else's success is not your failure

[@MissUniqueSarah]

I love this interview! Jim is such a wonderful person and an amazing actor!

[@marthaedwards5642]

Even I began to well up when Jim got emotional about The Normal Heart!

[@shelbyzimmerman]

I did too, and now I feel like I need to find it and watch it.

[@aishax01]

+Martha Edwards where? which part?

[@shelbyzimmerman]

Aisha Godane 1:02:54

[@aishax01]

Shelby Cat5 Awww thank you. I was so lazy.

[@shelbyzimmerman]

+Aisha Godane No problem, but that part made me get really teary eyed :(

[@graceedwards5348]

I love and admire Jim so much. He’s truly one if not the most genuine actor out there.

[@LB-px9td]

I like Jim Parsons because he is a very good comedic actor as well as a serious actor

[@joycesmile123]

My most favorite actor in my life.. You're the best ❤❤❤ I love you Jim Parsons 😊

[@CaitlinBlair]

I have much respect for Parsons, this was an absolute joy to watch. Thank you.

[@annnnmorrreeeee76]

OMG! finally. Thank you sooooooooooo much for this!!!!!!!!!! thank u thank u thank uuuuuu

[@Niki007hound]

Just fantastic. What a wonderful and enjoyable interview. And so interesting and informative, also. Jim is such a wonderful human being. I will now make an effort to enjoy all of his other available works. Like most, I was captured by his natural brilliance in the Big Bang Theory and am very aware of his qualities far beyond that context. Keep on going and stay true to yourself, Jim! The world will thank you!

[@VtRD]

As much as what he has already accomplished, and that is formidable, Jim Parson's greatest work is yet to appear, IMHO. He is now (2017) age 44--in his prime, for a long time, if he chooses great projects. I can see him needing an entire room for all the awards he will be getting in the future. Has such range, and is so real.

[@TANIA_1986]

Best interview ever! I loved every single minute of it. Getting to know Jim a little more and all of his career steps, was just magical! Amazing actor, amazing person, I'm such a huge fan!!

[@abbylane62]

I actually just watched the HBO movie , The Normal Heart. It was so good. I loved it. Wish Jim had a bigger part in it though.

[@smilesoul4943]

you just couldn't love him and admire him more.

[@Kaprilina]

I've just watched it excitedly. Best interview with Jim ever. Fantastic! Thank you so much! Fabulous! Hats off to Jim.

[@VtRD]

Around 23:00 he talks about getting an agent. This is after several years doing theater. Jim says he was "lucky," I beg to differ. He had the talent and perseverance to go to a showcase that few attended in LA--and that was AFTER graduate school at USD and The Old Globe, San Diego, which are great institutions, by the way. One manager came to that showcase, and Jim was connected to an agent through that. Perseverance--it takes that. I consider Jim Parsons the 2010's best TV comedic actor--every decade seems to have one standout. His description of learning, early in life, how a 22 minute comedy was made, is key to his massive success now. Brilliant artist.

[@brendancrd]

Jim Parsons many of your comments from your mentors Or attitude towards your life and auditions have been helpful and insightful for myself esteem issues. “You are enough” and “what are you bringing to the party” and “someone’s success is not your failure…” these resonated with me most. I sincerely appreciate and thank you 😊

[@himanshijain1203]

I just want go over and give a big hug to him. He is the gentlest and the most soft spoken actor I've seen. He talks so much and it just makes you love him even more because he is so genuinely honest when he talks and easily makes you laugh😂 I literally LOVE him😍 (Used literally figuratively😂 something Sheldon would hate😂)

[@thomassicard3733]

4:45 " ... come Hell or high water." That's a sort of universal phrase, but especially apropo to Houstonians. Of course, the even more apropo Houston phrase is, "God willing and the creek don't rise." Born and raised in Pasadena, TX, most of my life has been in Pasadena, TX - adjacent to Houston on the ESE side (home of the original Gilley's honky-tonk, and quite a nice place that is surrounded by the world's biggest chemical industry facilities). Jim is a national treasure. The greater Houston area is so proud to call him ours! Many thanks, Jim, for sharing your great entertainment talents with us.

[@shelbyzimmerman]

I just love Jim so muchhhhh

[@anneberruyermills5939]

what a great interview ! bravo !

[@fouziakhan3303]

Hats off to the talented legend... looking forward to see more of your awesome shows and dramas

[@BHdowntheline]

[@robinjaime]

Just starting this video (the announcement of Jim Parsons) and these comments are getting me excited for what I am about to experience. Yay, hooray for Jim Parsons! ❤️

[@BujoldComa78]

Great actor. I love this man.

[@Liz-by8pq]

1:03:09 wanna give him a hug for real, such a lovely gentleman.

[@hiei29]

Thanks

[@glez0218]

I Love this Interview!! shows how Jim is very passionate and Love his craft!!

[@jaydicee23]

So insightful and enjoyable! Thank you!

[@Karlurbans]

When Jim stared to get emotional I so badly wanted to console him

[@charyanngutierrez790]

I love this interview so much.

[@soulacension]

Jim Parsons is like a very young Mr. Rogers

[@LETMEINGUYS]

My friend Randy was In a play with Jim in Houston,Tx. He played Marvel Anne in psycho beach party

[@gauti_]

Jim, u r awesome.

[@jessicakramer7897]

He is so lovely

[@xela1821046]

I can just say... fantastic! 0:48 ca. "Sheldon's snatching face... I don't remember when I did it, but I sincerly regret!! [...] Sheldon's laugh... and I hate me for this!!!" 1:20 "I haven't started a comic book, I haven't seen Star Trek, I'm sorry.... I'M SORRY???!!" XDXDXD

[@faribobbymukherji]

I Simply Love Him❤

[@lynnepashley4281]

I think he is incredible and beautiful and very talented xx

[@VEGANMADEININDIA]

Jim is such a beautiful human ❤️

[@rotsteineva]

He is so smart and sweet 💖💖💖

[@Deejaay83urj38]

Beautiful man

[@swagatadas5121]

He is an excellent actor and a good human being ❤️

[@askunz1]

Note to Parson's comments about the outrageous things that Sheldon Cooper got to say, coming from a place of honesty. It does seem that Sheldon and his cohort are so loyal and loving about one another, and so focused on their intellectual perspective, that they call out observations as they see them without the hostility of sexism or racism. I think that is the overriding importance of "allowing" this comedy to shine - it postulates a world when we can all love each other for who we are so well that it overrides negative "isms." This must be imagined before it can be real.

[@faraday3172]

Well, I'm taking note of those priceless advices ❤

[@briancahill2136]

Jim Parsons "you the man" what a interesting interview............

[@magalegre5759]

I saw it two times (even to practice my english, sorry). But I can not see him cry. He is so open and emotional. JIM, PLEASE GIVE LESSONS ABOUT: "HOW TO BE EMOTIONAL AND FUNNY" TO STRAIGHT MEN. ;-))) Hi from Munich

[@delarata2008]

I saw the same! He didn’t cry.

[@bethechangeyouwannaseeinth9488]

he is natural and nice human being let alone good actor...

[@mirfir]

Amazing! Just stumbled on this!

[@shif9429]

Watching this 8 years later haha

[@SAGAFTRAFoundation]

It's a good one to revisit! Thanks for watching :)

[@nunyabiz3453]

Jim would make such a great Kelpien from StarTrek!

[@angierecovering_clutterer2434]

He tells stories like I do. Doggone it, we ARE entertaining!

[@Mrkc47]

Very good :)

[@cindystarling7401]

Fascinating

[@thomassicard3733]

Commerce Street. Runs through downtown Houston.

[@jessypetra]

mr. Jim is the kiong of comedian wondeerful

[@xela1821046]

In this interview we can see the real Jim... he's so different from his apparences in tv interviews! P.S.: Could somebody explain me what he said from 00:11:15 to 00:14:35 about high school, please? I didn't understand very well, sorry I'm Italian :P

[@annnnmorrreeeee76]

he's talking about a theater production in highschool called Noises off (or smth), he's saying in that time he was more into smoking and drinking w/ friends and then this play came for him, he did it and then for the first time he felt that acting was his thing... pretty much that the bottom line

[@MichelleCooperDorian]

Ooo anche io sono italiana! Pagherei oro per dei sottotitoli.

[@xela1821046]

Andrea Moreyra Thank you very much!

[@wpatitofeo4ever]

+Michelle Cooper Dorian anche io pagherei qualsiasi cosa per avere dei sottotitoli italiani. È un vero peccato che nessuno hai mai fatto questa operazione nelle interviste di Jim

[@d.d.p.parker3671]

he he's my son's age. i just love him and amy, i never sai that about any white person, but i do with these two. they have nice smiles and i would trust them

[@louisenicolson8189]

He doesn’t understand Benny Hill? I am surprised!…he’s so funny! Thanks Jim.

[@ritwikachatterjee5792]

The epic 'however '.

[@jamietucker6700]

Thank you, I appreciate your time and I wish knew how to get to know you.. and my head hurts. Friend and I’ll speak via message soon

[@MysteriaJew]

....you know... Im so in love. Life is tragic! :P

[@debranquist4948]

I know what you mean.

[@shelbyzimmerman]

Me too, man.

[@maja1157]

The background buzz is annoying

[@sparky711choc]

When Johnny Galecki tells the story of his "audition" he states that he essentially already had the role of Leonard because he knew Chuck Lorre who had worked on Roseanne with him. This seems to contradict what Jim says here. Of course sometimes directors and producers will audition many people even though they already know who they want in the role.

[@melvyns1975]

That Sheldon laugh gets me every time 🤣

[@MichelleCooperDorian]

Can we have subtitles? PLEASEEEEEEEEE

[@SAGAFTRAFoundation]

We would love to provide subtitles to our videos but we don't have the resources for this right now. I would be happy to upload a subtitle file if someone took the time to transcribe it.

[@MichelleCooperDorian]

If I had the ability I would do it with pleasure! Thanks for the reply, wonderful interview with Jim, a great actor! Greetings from Italy

[@KuMei04]

+SAG-AFTRA Foundation Hi, I could do the transcript for you, is there an e-mail address where I could reach you?

[@SAGAFTRAFoundation]

+JustMe I've just enabled community submission of subtitles on this video. Give that a try.

[@maripozacolorado]

Hi, thanks for this conversation. Does subtitles (or transcription ) in english exist now ? if they exist could we have it ? again thanks for this tremendous moment with Jim Parsons.

[@Bloodmanuu]

Holy shit jim parsons looks like peter parker

[@xela1821046]

Do you mean Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker? Because sometimes I see them similar too!

[@Bloodmanuu]

Kind of

[@Bloodmanuu]

he could become a spiderman in a spiderman movie

[@xinniether-pooh989]

It's still weird to see him talking in language I can understand....

Hello

[@jagadeeshwargunda8739]

Microphone for so long time..

[@TheLisab56]

I WANT TO BE TODD!

[@geodesie7447]

Wow, this guy actually IS Sheldon. I mean he seems to be a bit of an old soul, a bit verbose, a bit pretentious - endearingly.

[@yakuza2123]

I just wanted him to talk like Sheldon, what a boring thing. Only like 12 minutes of tbbt, not fair 😢 Bazinga!

[@kimyrrah2416]

This is why I want to see him on Broadway #3

[@kimyrrah2416]

+Ki Myrrah I saw Him on Broadway! It was Fantastic and VERY funny! Loved it! He signed my playbill! I could not say anything to him...I got startled and did not recover in time. He made my Birthday! Anyway...."Conversations" is the most encompassing piece to do with Mr. Parsons career. If anyone has a better interview...let me know. "Interview in the cafe" great down to earth. P Center great...GD...and others. Actors studio seemed a little short. Love that actor! Can't wait to see what he does next! Ki

[@holysneakers5642]

What a fantastic human being. You can see how he still doesn't take his Big Bang Theory popularity for granted. I love how down to earth and open and honest he is.
