Young Sheldon Star Thanks Big Bang Theory’s Jim Parsons For His Guidance
Iain Armitage thanks The Big Bang Theory actor Jim Parsons for his guidance as he plays the titular character in Young Sheldon. In 2017, CBS launched the spin-off that centers on the backstory of Sheldon Cooper. By then, Parsons had been playing the adult iteration of the role for a decade and the actor had won multiple accolades for his performance. Because of this, there was a lot of interest in Armitage when he was cast to portray the younger version on Young Sheldon.
