About Sheldon:
Sheldon Lee Cooper, Ph.D., Sc.D., is a fictional character in the CBS television series The Big Bang Theory, portrayed by actor Jim Parsons.
For his portrayal, Parsons has won four Primetime Emmy Awards, a Golden Globe Award, a TCA Award, and two Critics' Choice Television Awards.
Sheldon is a senior theoretical physicist and shared an apartment with his colleague and best friend, Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki).
He is a former child prodigy with a genius level IQ, but displays an almost total lack of social skills, a tenuous understanding of humor, and difficulty recognizing irony and sarcasm in other people - although he himself often employs them.
