Armitage has always had a love for acting — especially theater. Prior to getting his big break on the show, Armitage actually launched a web series called Iain Loves Theatre , where he reviewed various shows. He first broke into acting when he appeared on Impractical Jokers as himself back in He and co-star Johnny Galecki, Sheldon's roommate Leonard, had great comic chemistry from the start, playing friends and sometimes clashing scientists.
The sitcom's ensemble cast also included Simon Helberg, who played engineer Howard Wolowitz, and Kunal Nayyar, who played astrophysicist Raj Koothrapalli. Kaley Cuoco rounded out the cast as their common sense neighbor and Leonard's love interest, Penny.
Mayim Bialik joined the show later on, playing Sheldon's affection-starved significant other, as did Melissa Rauch, as Bernadette. Real-life scientists Bill Nye , Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson , among other guest stars, also made appearances on the series.
The Big Bang Theory grew to become TV's top-rated sitcom, thanks in part to Parsons' brilliant job of handling the difficult scientific and technical jargon used on the show.
His compelling and convincing portrayal of a quirky boy genius had some fans wondering if Parsons boasted a similar IQ to his character's. But sadly, no. His winning streak continued over the next few years, with him taking home three more Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series in , and The popularity of his quirky character led to the creation of the spinoff Young Sheldon in , with Iain Armitage starring as the nine-year-old version of Sheldon in high school, and Parsons involved as the show's narrator.
In August it was announced that The Big Bang Theory would sign off the following May, after airing its 12th season finale. Entertainment Weekly reported that the show was ending largely due to the wishes of Parsons, who was looking to move on from playing Sheldon Cooper.
The Big Bang Theory wrapped its long run with episode No. Tam didn't know that Sheldon was mad at him, but they made up just before he left. Of all the main characters of the show, Sheldon is presumed to be asexual and has displayed absolutely no interest in pursuing a sexual relationship with anyone.
He tries to avoid all human physical and emotional contact. He has, however, had a few opportunities to "get it on" - maybe more opportunities than the other characters.
Being true to his personality, though, he never seems to realize it. The introduction of Amy Farrah Fowler has changed this aspect of him, at least slightly. Even though Amy used to be a girl, who was his friend, but not his girlfriend, and now is his girlfriend, she is the closest person who romantically-linked to Sheldon. Though, their relationship used to be nothing more than that of friends, or, as Sheldon put it, "a relationship of the minds".
Eventually, they move in together and get married. Lalita was arranged to be married to Raj. They went on a date together which gradually deteriorated as alcohol made him obnoxious.
When Sheldon arrived at the bar, he thought she looked similar to an Indian fairy tale princess from a bedtime story his mother used to read to him when he was sick. When he told her, she was flattered and ended up dumping Raj and going out for dinner with Sheldon.
When he was asked about it the next day, he simply said that they ate and discussed dental hygiene. He didn't seem to realize that he technically was on a date with her. When Leonard asked him if he was going to see her again he looked puzzled and said "Why would I see her again? I already have a dentist".
Ramona was a huge admirer of Sheldon and had an obvious crush on him, which he didn't seem to notice. After that, she began spending more and more time with him, haunting the apartment night and day walking around like the T-X terminator from " Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines. She prevented Sheldon from doing anything recreational like playing Halo, paintball or watching Battlestar Galactica so he could focus on his work that he was so enamored with.
Eventually, he made a breakthrough. When she suggested they share credit, he simply responded "Get out! In season 11 , she returns to Caltech pursuing Sheldon while Amy is away for the summer in New Jersey. Penny has to point out the romantic attachment she has.
After Ramona kisses him, he runs to New Jersey to propose to Amy. When Amy confronts Ramona, she thanks her for pushing him to propose, leading to an awkward hug.
In " The Cooper-Nowitzki Theorem ," after the affair with Ramona Nowitzki , there is a brief incident in the Caltech cafeteria that appears to be the beginning of the same kind of relationship with a different grad student, Kathy O'Brien.
Like before she is impressed with his work and want to talk with him. She agrees to bring over pizza to his apartment. And she already has his address. While Abby and Raj hit it off, Martha became interested in Sheldon. The two enjoyed a few stimulating discussions together at their second meeting, during which Raj and Abby, "were getting busy in the living room," Sheldon was either unaware or disregarded her interest in him before he went to bed. Martha visited Sheldon's room in the middle of the night and she asked to come in, hoping for sex.
Misinterpreting this, Sheldon went to sleep in Leonard's room and left Martha alone in his room. Sheldon first met Amy via a dating site where Howard and Raj sneakily set up an account for him in the season 3 finale, " The Lunar Excitation ". When they told Sheldon, he refused to do it, believing dating sites to be "hokum". He was blackmailed into doing it when Raj said he had hidden a dirty sock in his apartment and would not remove it unless Sheldon went on the date. When they arrived, Sheldon had doubts until he met Amy, who acted exactly like Sheldon.
She only agreed to come on the date as she and her mother have an agreement that Amy would date at least once a year. Sheldon had the same agreement with his mother about church; therefore, they bonded over their relationships with their mothers. Sheldon noted they had a lot in common and bought her a beverage of tepid water. Raj and Howard regretted what they had done, with Howard saying, "Good God, what have we done? In the season 4 premiere, " The Robotic Manipulation ," Sheldon reveals that he has been talking to Amy for four months online and via text messaging, after they first met.
Penny convinces Sheldon to go on a proper date with Amy first, before he actually decides to have a child. She ends up on the date with them, as she had to drive them to the restaurant. While there, Penny tries to make conversation, but fails. After the subject of Sheldon's first date comes up, Sheldon calculates the number of men Penny would have dated. He ends up with , with 31 sexual encounters. Amy then innocently asks if Penny feels like a "slut" and reveals that she has had sexual encounters if you include stimulation of the brain to induce orgasm.
Eventually, Penny convinces Sheldon not to have a child with Amy by threatening to tell Sheldon's highly-religious mother; who would likely frown upon a test tube, surrogate, out-of-wedlock grandchild. In episode 3 of season 4, " The Zazzy Substitution ", Amy and Sheldon breakup for a period of time after an argument over whose field of science is superior. This results in Sheldon buying a clowder of 25 cats, which worries Leonard.
So he calls Sheldon's mother , who is unusually surprised at what she sees with Sheldon. She then calls Amy and uses the technique of reverse psychology which Leonard instantly picks up on, but Sheldon is completely oblivious to. She tells Sheldon that it was a good thing he and Amy broke up because they are completely incompatible.
In episode 5 of season 4, " The Desperation Emanation ", Amy requests Sheldon to meet her mother , which terrifies him after Leonard tells him that their relationship has stepped up. He tries many ways to avoid her, as he thinks she has fallen in love with him.
Sheldon freaks out Amy's mother a bit, which is what Amy wanted him to do, when they tell her about their "fake" sex life. Her relationship with Sheldon is complex; it began as a purely intellectual friendship which consisted solely of text messaging, but at some urging from Penny, develops into a platonic friendship with dynamics similar to a romantic relationship, although not sexually intimate.
They later pretend to have had a sexual encounter the made-up details of which included Amy becoming pregnant as an experiment to see how long it would take the gossip to spread throughout their social circle,.
She invites him in and, after advising him on how to deal with Priya, flirts with and then kisses Sheldon to which he responds "fascinating". After she throws up and passes out, Sheldon puts a towel under her head as a pillow and leaves before doing this he regulated Amy's kitchen timer, which was making him go crazy. The next morning, a hungover Amy video-calls Sheldon, and he informs her of the kiss, and when Amy admits she is unsure where to go from there, they agree to pretend the entire events of the evening never occurred.
Amy invites Leonard to a wedding, explaining that she'd invited Sheldon before, but he "acted like a child. Sheldon bops Leonard rather hard on the shoulder, and states very firmly that Amy is not Leonard's She is not for you; not for you! In " The Isolation Permutation ", Amy got depressed after Penny and Bernadette went bridesmaid dress shopping without her and Sheldon ended up comforting her.
First she asked for sex due to wanting physical intimacy, the couple made counter offers and settled with cuddling, something Sheldon was reluctant to do.
A recurring topic for discussion among the audience of the show is whether Amy may be the first person that Sheldon may have developed romantic feelings for, though he himself may not have realized it yet. It is clear that Amy is attracted to Sheldon, as witnessed in her many attempts to have some form of physical contact with him, such as kissing him while she was drunk, holding his hand and said that it was an experiment, and during the counter offers, she attempted to get Sheldon to agree to get into bed with her or possibly French-kissing.
She can also be seen smiling in his presence when they first meet as the scene ends. Amy had also, in a scene in Season 5 's " The Pulled Groin Extrapolation ", told Leonard at a wedding that he has "a kinda-sorta-boyfriend playing with a model train and you don't hear me bitching about it", a clear reference to Sheldon. In " The Ornithophobia Diffusion ", when Sheldon finally overcame his fear of birds and appeared infatuated by the bird, to the point he called him his little "Lovey-dovey" a slightly jealous Amy replied "guess you gotta have hollow bones to get some sugar around here".
Sheldon, while his feelings for Amy remain ambiguous, clearly cares for her. In " The Isolation Permutation ", several events highlighted his care for Amy. When a devastated Amy wanted to be alone and did not respond to any form of communication Sheldon attempted to reach her, Sheldon grew worried and distracted, till Leonard suggested that they go over to her place to check up on her. While getting ready to leave their apartment, Sheldon shared news that a bobcat was spotted near Amy's place and Leonard responded that he does not think that Amy has been eaten by a bobcat.
A shocked Sheldon said that he was only sharing a piece of news and now, thanks to Leonard, he is worried whether Amy has indeed been eaten by a bobcat. Later, at Amy's apartment, when she told Sheldon that she wanted to be left alone, Sheldon asked, rather awkwardly whether Amy would like to talk about what's troubling her, though he did add that he has no problem if Amy says no.
Afterwards, when Amy counter-offered with him regarding human intimacy and physical contact, Sheldon eventually agreed to cuddle with her. When a drunk Amy called Sheldon as he was building his Lego Death Star, he and Leonard went to see her in a liquor store parking lot when she called Leonard "Lil' Leonard" and Sheldon "Cuddles", a term which earned a frown from Leonard.
Sheldon quickly retorted with "Yes, Cuddles. We cuddled. Grow up Leonard! Later, when he went to the comic book store with Leonard to return Leonard's Wild West and Witches expansion pack and found that someone else has replaced Stuart since he is out for coffee with Amy, he started feeling jealous.
Leonard asked him whether he was okay, but his reassurance on the matter looked doubtful. At the university cafeteria , as the guys were discussing the Wild West and Witches deluxe set, Sheldon was checking Stuart's Facebook page, and the guys were surprised to see that he has actually friended Stuart. Raj suggested that he did so just to keep tabs on Stuart's date with Amy. Leonard told him to acknowledge his feelings for Amy while Howard told him to challenge Stuart to a fight.
Sheldon said that he could not care less about the date, but ended up unfriending all three of them. Later, he went to Penny's apartment and asked Penny out on a date, to signal that he did not care about Amy and Stuart.
When Penny told him that he only wanted to do so to make Amy jealous, he denied and wondered why everyone else is obsessed with Amy and Stuart and added whether those two have more pumpkin lattes or will have intercourse, showing that he did keep himself updated with the details of their date s. Penny told him to buck up and talk to Amy.
Sheldon ended up interrupting Amy and Stuart's date at the movie by sitting next to Amy. When Amy asked what he was doing there, he covered up by saying that the thought of Amy sitting in a darkened theater with a character like Stuart is repellent.
Amy apologized and influenced him to man up to his feelings by saying that their current relationship status allows her to be in any repellent situation she likes. This was when Sheldon decided to propose an alteration to their relationship paradigm by saying he would no longer object if they characterize her as his girlfriend, but other than that, nothing will change in terms of physical or otherwise. Amy pushed Sheldon to try saying that again without the negative, but he refused so she provoked him by sliding towards Stuart and saying "hi" to him, following which Sheldon relented and asked properly if Amy is willing to be his girlfriend.
She agreed and he left immediately. Later on, Sheldon waited inside Amy's apartment as she finishes her date. When Amy and Stuart was conversing outside her apartment, Sheldon told them to quickly wrap things up and when Amy and Stuart gave each other a friendly hug, Sheldon immediately retaliated by asking Stuart to take the hint that Amy has said "goodnight".
When Amy asked him how he entered her apartment, he complained whether she will keep nagging like this now that she is his girlfriend and introduced her to The Relationship Agreement. Amy did not seem to like the agreement although she said it is romantic. Sheldon told her she could get herself a lawyer.
Amy agreed to the agreement anyway making them officially a couple. At the beginning, she even made a suggestion, which Sheldon described as brilliant highly unusual, since he normally dismisses other people's comments about his work though he is willing to listen to her. In one episode where Sheldon was describing the Bavarian flag, he even dressed up as a Bavarian and Amy dressed up as a pretzel. In " The Friendship Contraction ", Sheldon asked Amy to take him to the dentist after all of his other friends refused after Leonard had signed the clause on The Roommate Agreement to reduce his and Sheldon's relationship to mere acquaintances.
Amy was busy with work and could not drive him. He tried to make her guilty by telling her that as his girlfriend, she had to cater to his needs, and even to the extent of asking her "Where has the magic gone? In " The Vacation Solution ", Sheldon decided to work at Amy's laboratory with her for a week, after he was forced to undergo his mandatory vacation. Once there, he was appalled by the tasks Amy told him to do, which were menial given his standards, such as washing the beakers and counting spores.
Surprisingly, he could not accomplish any of the tasks right. Eventually, he confronted her on the matter. Amy reasoned that even if he was a genius, she could not assign him difficult tasks because he had no experience working in biology. Sheldon retaliated by telling her that she was just afraid that he would be better than her. Annoyed, Amy let him slice the brain specimen she was working on.
He ended up cutting his thumb and fainting at the sight of his own blood. After talking to Penny, Sheldon went back to apologize to Amy for his behavior; however, being Sheldon; he could not offer a sincere and direct apology. Amy downright refused to accept anything, but a real apology so finally; he managed to mutter up a short "sorry". Amy accepted and told him to start washing the beakers again. In " The Werewolf Transformation ", Sheldon missed out on his regular haircut schedule, due to his regular barber being hospitalized.
This event affected his daily routine because he could not get over not getting his haircut on time. When he was over at Amy's apartment, on their scheduled "girlfriend-boyfriend sing-a-long night", he could not concentrate. Amy suggested he go to Supercuts, but he refused, equating Supercuts to "Sodom and Gomorrah with mousse". She then suggested he grew out his hair, because she thought he would look sexy with long hair.
He refused to that as well. Later, Sheldon spiraled even more out of control by playing bongos at 3 a. The next day, when Leonard and Penny came over to pick him up, Amy revealed that she initially thought Sheldon's presence last night was a musical booty call. Sheldon finally relented to have his hair cut by Penny, after Amy convinced him by saying that there was no hair on her body she would not let Penny trim.
He began to have doubts on going after the guys told him that they would be having a hour Star Wars online gaming marathon, like in the old days. He tried to persuade Amy to let him stay instead, but she refused, saying that she followed all his protocols in The Relationship Agreement. Sheldon gave in, albeit unwillingly. The next day, when they were about to begin their journey, Amy discovered that Sheldon had brought along his laptop with him. Sheldon told her that he had found a way to compromise, by being physically present at her aunt's party, but virtually present for the online gaming.
Amy told him that it would make him appear rude since her family would want to talk to him. He told her that he will have his headset on so that he could not hear them in the first place. Upset, Amy sarcastically told him that if gaming was more important to him than his commitments to her, he could stay.
He did not get her meaning and opted to stay. Amy was later seen upset having gone to the party alone. She confided in Penny and Penny persuaded her to make a scene. The girls later barged into Sheldon and Leonard's apartment, while they were still gaming. Amy told Sheldon that she was going to embarrass him in front of his friends. She told him that she was leaving him for Arman, the miniature horse breeder. He asked her who Arman was, but she tripped up on her words and failed to continue the ruse.
Penny helped by telling Sheldon he hurt her by backing out on his words. Sheldon finally understood her and offered her Cooper Coupons to make it up to her. They left to visit the science museum.
In " The Launch Acceleration ", Sheldon came over to Amy's apartment for their scheduled monthly Date Night for a home-cooked dinner, despite his idea of a hot date is crossing the street and going to the Lego store to buy a tiny Lego Indiana Jones. He found out that the reason Amy requested to have their Date Night at her place was to get their relationship moving forward, just like their friends'. He was reluctant because he thought that considering he has known her for two years and he was already at her place after dark, their relationship could not go any faster.
However, Amy, having anticipated his response decided to achieve her goal by using her skills in neurobiology. She wanted to try to create his emotional attachment to her, just like his attachments to his. Their Date Night was full of the things he likes, such as Super Mario Brothers' theme song as the background music, drinking strawberry Quik, and being served spaghetti with little hot dogs cut up in it.
Amy's plan seemed to be going well because Sheldon immediately responded with they should do it more often. After the night, it was shown that Sheldon had become distracted and he admitted to Leonard over their game of 3D chess that he was starting to develop affectionate feelings for Amy at inappropriate times, though not in a sexual way.
He also revealed that Amy took her campaign even further past their Date Night by arranging for him to become an Amtrak junior conductor, something extremely special since it was only open for kids. He even got to blow the whistle. In " The Countdown Reflection ", Amy told Bernadette that she thinks Sheldon's eidetic memory is sexy and proceeded to ask him to recite the ingredients in Pringles.
Later, at the City Hall while waiting for Howard and Bernadette to get married they did not however, manage to squeeze in for the day , Amy asked Sheldon whether being at there and witnessing a lot of couple in love makes him thinking, but he did not get what she meant and ended up exposing Leonard's failed proposal to Penny in the previous episode to all their friends. During the wedding ceremony, as Sheldon was addressing Howard and Bernadette, Amy looked displeased when Sheldon told them that he hopes they find happiness together as he has found being all by himself.
However, during Howard's launch into space, Sheldon did something completely contradictory to his statement, by grabbing Amy's hand as he said "Boldly go, Howard Wolowitz". Sheldon invites Raj along for their second anniversary dinner much to Amy's annoyance. After Raj leaves, Amy demands a statement from the heart from Sheldon or she was leaving him. Sheldon provided some paraphrased romantic dialogue from the first Spider-Man film Spider-Man movie.
Amy says that she'll "take it". In " The Decoupling Fluctuation ", at the movies, Amy requires Sheldon to now hold her hand though Sheldon thinks the idea is silly and unhygienic. While not liking his acting, the two get into an argument and Amy leaves. Sheldon is first caught in the middle and then naively thinks that Amy is solving the problem by leaving. He eventually learns that he should support Amy in disagreements. In " The Parking Spot Escalation ", Amy backs up Sheldon in his fight for Howard's parking place, helping him put his name back on the space and leaving her car parked in it.
After she finds it towed she confronts Bernadette and ends up smashing her "bestie", Penny, in her face breaking her nose. First Sheldon says that that is meant for her to take care of him and then leaves. Moments later Sheldon has a change of heart and tells her that they have a written agreement and that he cares about her wellbeing so he will take care of her though he wants her to get through it quickly. Later when he finds that her temperature hasn't gone down, he tells he that she isn't trying.
Amy complains about his bedside manner and just wants to go to sleep. Sheldon says that that is not acceptable because he isn't through taking care of her. He has to put a rag on her forehead, sing to her probably Soft Kitty and rub Vicks vapor rub on her chest.
Sick Amy sits up surprised and wants to start with the Vicks with Sheldon not realizing the sexual aspects. Sheldon tells her that it may tingle and Amy replies that she is counting on that. A few days later Bernadette visits her and learns that Amy is feeling fine and is enjoying Sheldon taking care of her especially since he has started bathing her.
A couple of days later Sheldon has the results of a throat culture which says that she is no longer sick. Zoe Perry, who plays Sheldon's mother, Mary, also comes from an acting family.
She is the daughter of actors Laurie Metcalf and Jeff Perry. She had a recurring role as the older version of Sheldon's mother throughout the show's year run. Sheldon's father, George, is played by Lance Barber, who is a father himself in real-life. He's married to chef Aliza, with whom he shares two young daughters. Connie Tucker, aka Meemaw, is the sarcastic matriarch of the family.
