But this soon changed as the duo got to know each other better, with Sheldon even giving a heartwarming speech at her wedding with Leonard. But while the viewers cannot imagine any other actor apart fromJim Parsonsplaying the role,Kaley Cuocorevealed in a past interview why she thought Parsons would be the perfect Sheldon on the show.
During a 2019 interview withEntertainment Weekly, when the host asked theentire castabout their first impressions of each other, Cuoco was the first person to answer the question. She said when she arrived for her audition, she saw Parsons sitting quietly in a corner by himself. Cuoco added:
He was very quiet and had a BlackBerry in his hand, playing with it. He looks at me and said, “You don’t know how to work this thing, do you? I just got it.” He was very cute how he said it. I thought he could totally play Sheldon. Charming and innocent.
On the other hand, Parsons was already well aware of who Cuoco was, as he had seen some of her previous projects. Further,Johnny Galeckialso chimed in on the actress and added that the entire cast viewed her as the coolest member. And that as soon as they finished their scenes and live tapings, she would leave so quickly that theyassumedshe had a more exciting social life than they did.
