News what it would take to get him to play the character in a sequel, he quipped: &#8220;Reincarnation? Another lifetime?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jim admitted he could never totally rule out playing Sheldon again, but he suggested it&#8217;s highly unlikely.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &#8220;Look, never say never to anything! Life is long, God willing, but I don&#8217;t think so!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nStill, he felt fortunate to get the chance to appear on screen as Sheldon again in the finale, having lent his voice as off-screen the narrator throughout the series.<\/p>\n<p>\nReflecting on filming the last episode, he said: &#8220;It was very, very special to do that. The feeling today [after it has aired] is kinda odd.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s the second time now because when we ended The Big Bang Theory it felt like this too &#8211; a little bit different, but you shoot that final episode and it&#8217;s wrapped for you.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;Then, a couple of months later, it wraps for the rest of the world and it&#8217;s a very weird feeling to float over you again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nExecutive producer and co-showrunner Steve Holland has admitted it wasn&#8217;t difficult to persuade Jim &#8211; who was also an executive producer on &#8216;Young Sheldon&#8217; &#8211; and Mayim to be part of the finale.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told People magazine: &#8220;I think they were both excited. Jim&#8217;s obviously been a part of the show. He&#8217;s an executive producer. He&#8217;s been the narrator.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I think Mayim literally said, \u2018Anything you want me to do, I&#8217;ll come there and do.\u2019&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nProducers had to navigate Jim&#8217;s schedule, as he is currently starring in a Broadway production of &#8216;Mother Play &#8211; A Play in Five Evictions&#8217; and ended up having to fly to Los Angeles on a day off from rehearsals before returning to New York for his commitments to the play the following day.<\/p>\n<p>\nTheir scenes were also shot earlier than the rest of the finale to accommodate the pair&#8217;s busy schedules.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe show followed Sheldon Cooper as a nine-year-old prodigy with his family in Texas as he navigated high school and the wider world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jim-parsons-jokes-reincarnation-way-play-sheldon-cooper-1399917.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>21 May 2024 Jim Parsons has joked he would only play Sheldon Cooper again in &#8220;another lifetime&#8221;.
