Jim Parsons could’ve been a teacher.
Jim’s mother and sister are both teachers in the same school. He could easily have followed in their footsteps instead of becoming one of the most well-known actors on TV.

Angel Face Jim is a real brawler with excessive financial appetites
In 2014, there was a real feud between Jim Parsons and the Big Bang Theory‘s producers. Jim`s main issue was an increase in salary and we’re not talking a couple dollars here. His request was for one million dollars per episode. Parson’s standoff with the producers swelled to a disproportionally high level. To the fans’ horror and despair, this brawl placed shooting the next season’s sitcom in a serious jeopardy. Realizing, his battle may be lost, Jim decided to act on a good old principle, “It`s better to ruin than to lose” and went on the offensive. Jim surprised his fans and the producers with his next talent – effective leadership skills. The producers didn’t have time to blink their eyes, as the rest of the cast, under Jim`s guidance, started requiring increases in wages too. At the end of the day, the scandal was hushed up and we continued to enjoy the whole crew on set.
Blue eyes, big smile, and financial smarts, what a combination. Wouldn’t you love to have Jim Parson’s on your negotiation team the next time you’re up for a raise?
