Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons opens up about auditioning for the role of Barney in How I Met Your Mother — a role that went to Neil Patrick Harris.
Jim Parsons looks back on his time auditioning to play How I Met Your Mother's Barney before landing the role of Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory. It has been more than a decade since the actor debuted the socially-inept genius in the CBS nerd-centric sitcom. Parsons was so great in the role that Sheldon was often considered The Big Bang Theory's true lead. Had things gone differently, however, he could have starred in a different hit comedy.
“I also auditioned—and got called back a couple times—for the role of Barney on How I Met Your Mother. But I didn’t want to audition for it because they described him in the casting breakdown as a “big lug of a guy.” I was like, What are they fucking thinking?! I’m not a big lug of a guy! [Laughs] And then when Neil Patrick Harris got it, I was like, Oh, talk about a lesson! Not that we’re the same at all, but he’s not a big lug of a guy, let me say that.
