sheldorslady Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I love what Jim said on Kelly & Michael the other day about how the audience is the missing character in every play, even if you're sitting there like a curmudgeon. That might be one of the reasons he's always so excited to see the fans lined up. It's part of his whole theater experience. And no one wants to perform in a vaccuum. You've prepared and worked and worked to make it just right, to hit all the right notes, to get the punchlines just right or the emotions or whatever, and the whole reason is so that an audience can appreciate it, experience it. And because it's not on film, it only exists in that form for that one moment for that particular audience. As a musician, I can relate to that aspect. I'm sure that's part of the charge he gets out of it, and part of what makes him so grateful for that audience. I did theatre 'back in the day', and the audience absolutely makes a difference!! You feel the energy, and it can change your performance and energize you. I remember not always loving matinee performances because there wasn't much of a charge from the audience, and night performances were always exciting. There is an electricity, especially when the audience is enjoying and responding, and it gives you the best feeling. Very addictive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not the greatest pic but this was the best I could do in the dark Thanks. Well tinted windows and dark outside doesn't make it easy with a camera to get a good shot. LOL! Still very visible though. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegcarr Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Great interview. Jim seems extremely excited about the role and happy to be back on Broadway. Looking very good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsTeller Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Not the greatest pic but this was the best I could do in the dark I bet Todd is really proud of him. (And yes he is very nice-looking!) I also wonder: If the play is popular enough and gets enough press is there a chance they would ever be able to make a movie from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantagrae Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Okay, is there some secret to getting this video to play? I must not have my tongue in the right place...so to speak... When I click on the little picture of him that has a "play" arrow, it takes me to another page with links to various other interviews he's done. If I click on where it says, "Click here to play", it takes me back to that page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsyR Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I think it would be highly unlikely that they would make AN ACT OF GOD into a movie, although possibly it would lend itself to a PBS special (they do performances of Broadway shows all the time). Broadway shows are seldom made into movies (lately it seems to be the other way around), and I can't remember any one-man show ever making the transition to film, especially short-run shows like AAOG. I would love to be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddsunny473 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Such a good interview. I love how he can talk of his acting and all that like his dreams coming true. When I watched this interview I remembered two things. One was in another interview where he said once he was poor and lonely in the city and the other thing is about how he loves talking, the last one was at the GLSN award with Todd.

hummingbird Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I've just watched Jim's interview and I literally had to start that again 3 times because I realized I was just staring at his eyes or lips and I wasn't paying any attention on what he was saying He is handsome as always and you can really say he's having a great time doing this play in New York. I'm so happy for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonmar Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Video interview from Broadway.com with Jim, David, Tim and Chris. (Jim drops the S-Bomb at the very end ). Kind of tongue-in-cheek sort of interview. Video!

MsTeller Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) One thing I have really enjoyed watching is the evolution of his interviews over the past couple of years. In the earliest ones, he seemed sort of guarded and tense and now you can see him relaxing in them and you see his real personality and how he really talks! This is especially true with Ellen and with Craig Ferguson who he has gotten to know with time. I can definitely see him as the person who describes himself as "shy" when meeting new people yet talks nonstop with people he knows well. It helps me understand Todd's comment about being left with little to say! Edited May 14, 2015 by MsTeller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can definitely see him as the person who describes himself as "shy" when meeting new people yet talks nonstop with people he knows well. It helps me understand Todd's comment about being left with little to say! I think that he's really come into his own in the last few years. Early on it was mostly talking about the show, about Sheldon's quirks, a bit about his background. But now he's settled into the show for years, he's successfully done Broadway, with good reviews (unlike some TV stars who haven't really done theater before), and he's done some films that really suit him or are meaningful to him. He hasn't had to worry about "coming out", which I think was something he didn't exactly hide, but that he was kind of wary of, I guess. He wouldn't mention Todd, really, or his personal life, whereas now he very easily speaks of his partner and so forth, especially in the Home press where he was always being asked who/what would he take to a new planet. And I think that being able to do plays during the hiatus really energizes him. He feels at home on the stage and I think that he maybe feels more confident about all of his success--he's doing what he always wanted to do, both on TV and onstage. He's making a living (and a good one, at that!) as an actor and gets all kinds of offers and opportunities. It's so great to see him doing so well!

vonmar Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Jim will be at the book launching event for Ryan O'Connell's "I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves" book on June 15, 2015. See More. So I finally had time to look into this event a little more. It's not just an appearance, Jim is actually the moderator of the launch event, the actual title is: Book Launch: I'm Special: And Other Lies We Tell Ourselves by Ryan O'Connell in conversation with Jim Parsons http://www.powerhousearena.com/events/book-launch-im-special-and-other-lies-we-tell-ourselves-by-ryan-oconnell-in-conversation-with-jim-parsons-2/ I love how he completely invests himself in projects he believes in, even if it occurs during the midst of a Broadway run.
