Actors On Their Emmy-Worthy Years
Simon, weren’t there two pilots for “The Big Bang Theory”?
Yes; the first time it came around, they wanted me to audition for Sheldon, Jim Parsons’ role. I was very close to getting “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” So I opened “Big Bang” and the audition was for the next morning and I saw Sheldon’s dialogue, which was like a four-page monologue. I couldn’t even wrap my mind around it, so I put all my eggs in the “Studio 60” basket, which I ended up getting, but not as a regular. The next year, “Big Bang” came around again, this time for the part of Howard. But I didn’t want to audition because I thought “Studio 60” was Aaron Sorkin’s show, it was doing OK, and I’d played so many nerds. I was convinced to audition and they wanted me to test, and I passed on testing. I think Chuck Lorre called my agent and asked why I wasn’t testing, and my agent said, “He’s on ‘Studio 60,’ and Chuck said, “But nobody watches that show.” So I went in to test. I tested the same night as Kaley Cuoco and the next morning I read she got the part. But I didn’t hear for a week. So I still kind of don’t know what happened in that week. [source]
