On television, Jim Parsons plays the part of the eccentric Sheldon Cooper on the “The Big Bang Theory.”
In real life, he plays the part of an eccentric Texans fan.
Parsons, a guest on Friday’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," grew up in Houston. The Klein Oak and University of Houston graduate admits he's such big fan, he's superstitious when it comes to his favorite team. Parsons spends his Sundays memorizing acting lines during Texans games.
“If I’ve been memorizing in the other room and I check back and the game’s going well, it’s because I’ve been behaving and memorizing, which is so awful, so then I have to leave and go back and memorize more and then come back and check in on the game again," Parsons said.
