American actor Jim Parsons has just wrapped up the final episode for The Big Bang Theory season 7, and headed to Broadway to act as God in the one-man comedy play called An Act of God, which is written by David Javerbaum.
Based on "heavenly" ticket sales and early reviews, people loved Parsons' performance and many more are eager to see him delivery hilarious soliloquies.
Parsons earlier told Vanity Fair that his secret weapon in acting is note cards. And given his character Dr. Sheldon Cooper's penchant to use heavy words and scientific jargon, the actor really relies on his notes. For An Act of God, he estimated that he will be memorizing from 200 cards filled with God's dialogue written in "the tiniest serial-killer" handwriting.
He also revealed during that interview what heaven to him really is. And no, it's not a lavish vacation or an extravagant splurge on anything. For Parsons, heaven is as simple as an early bedtime - one that begins at 8 p.m., where he will open up a book to read, then turn off the lights around 9 p.m.
The actor said that revealing this information might earn him the moniker "grandpa," but he cannot deny that it's the truth. "It does tend to make people refer to you as a geriatric when you are keeping hours that would make the retirement community blush," he jokingly said.
Of course, sleep is very precious to the busy actor, who always starts his day around 4 or 5 a.m. He will start by drinking several cups of coffee, followed by a protein drink, and oatmeal. He will then head to his treadmill where he will try to run four or five miles.
Because of the success he has obtained in his acting career, Parsons was able to buy two homes in his two favorite cities - Los Angeles and New York. He shares his home with his long-time graphic designer partner Todd Spiewak and two dogs - a Maltese named Otis and a Shih Tzu named Rufus.
Parsons also revealed some interesting tidbit about his dog Otis. After 10 years of mulling whether or not he was a full-blooded Maltese, the actor finally decided to order a DNA test for him. It revealed that Otis was not only a purebred, but even has quite the impressive lineage.
"We both felt like 'Pardon us-we had no idea you were royalty, and we were insulting you by calling you a mixed breed all these years,'" he said.
