Watching Big Bang Theory. And here’s something interesting – the show is already 11 years old, everyone knows it, but the main characters haven’t really made a mark elsewhere. Sure, they act, but it’s unclear in what. For instance, Kaley Cuoco, who plays Penny, is second in the ranking of the highest-paid TV actresses, yet she takes minor roles in mediocre TV shows. Look, in “Why Him?” (a fun little movie), she played the voice of a virtual assistant. Simon Helberg, who is Howard Wolowitz, also has something indescribable on his “resume”. The Indian guy got a voice role in Ice Age, and that’s the peak of his career. And Jim Parsons, who is, actually, Sheldon Cooper, hasn’t made his mark elsewhere either.
It’s interesting how things turn out – every dog on the street recognizes you, you seem to have money, people seem to love you, but major roles just don’t come your way.
