Actor Jim Parsons, who portrayed the geeky protagonist in “The Big Bang Theory” for 12 seasons, will return to play Sheldon Cooper in a guest appearance in the finale of the series “Young Sheldon” on May 16.
In an interview with People, Parsons, who is also an executive producer and narrator of the series, said he never really thought about playing Sheldon again, but the script for the final episode of Young Sheldon convinced him otherwise.
“I felt a slight hesitation when they first asked, because I really didn’t think I wanted to revisit the character,” he told People. “But the way they wrote it was so beautiful that it ended up being a little extra layer or something for my experience with the character.”
Parsons also spoke about Iain Armitage, who is 15 years old and portrays a younger version of Sheldon since he was 9. When asked if he would have any advice for the actor, Parsons said, “Oh, God, no”; “It’s such a different experience for him, and he’s so smart. He doesn’t need anything,” Parsons said. “He has good guidance. He and his mother are just fantastic.”
In the final episode of the CBS comedy, Parsons and Mayim Bialik will return as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler, the beloved couple from “The Big Bang Theory.” According to Parsons, acting again with his former castmate was “very special.”
