Can you imagine 'Big Bang Theory' without Jim Parsons? Parson's portrayal of Sheldon Cooper was loved by one and all but the actor was almost turned down initially.&nbsp; 
 
Bill Prady, who created the show alongside Chuck Lorre revealed during an appearance on the `At Home with the Creative Coalition` podcast that Lorre wasn`t initially sure about casting Parsons following his audition. 
 
Prady recalled of the audition process and said "when Jim Parsons came in, he was Sheldon on a level -- you know, there were people who came in and you went, `Okay, well, he`s kind of okay,` `Oh, he`s pretty good,` `Maybe he`s the guy.` And Jim came in and he was just -- from that audition, he was the Sheldon that you saw on television." 
 
He further added that "He created that character at that audition, and he left the room and I turned and I went, `That`s the guy! That`s the guy! That`s the guy!` And Chuck turned and he said, `Nah, he`s gonna break your heart. He`ll never give you that performance again.`" 
 
Prady stated that this disagreement was the only time Lorre`s instinct was wrong and he was right. The rest was history, with Parsons helping to make Sheldon one of the most popular characters in comedy history.&nbsp; 
 
It even inspired the `Young Sheldon` spin-off series based on the character`s life as a child. Parsons starred as Sheldon on `The Big Bang Theory` from its premiere in 2007 until its series finale in 2019.&nbsp;
