Main[edit]

  • Iain ArmitageasSheldon Lee Cooper,achild prodigywell versed in various branches of mathematics and science. He states that he decided to pursue physics around the same time as the show begins. While academically gifted, Sheldon lacks a full understanding of social cues and behaviors. Due to his intellect, he often shows a sense of superiority over everyone, which leads him to be oblivious to the effect on other people, including his family. Nevertheless, Sheldon has proven to love his family. He is Georgie's younger brother and Missy's fraternal older twin brother. He begins attending high school at age 9 and college full-time at age 11, then earns his undergraduate degree and moves to California at age 14 in the final episode, where he begins his graduate studies atCaltech,his future employer. Armitage appears as part of videotaped footage playing the character inThe Big Bang Theorythrough an episode in the final season.
    • Jim Parsonsis the voice of adult Sheldon Cooper, who provides the perspective of an adult recalling his childhood.[4]Given a host of retroactive continuity issues explored within the series, he has since been considered anunreliable narratorby some observers.[8][9][10]

Occasionally, atumbleweedappears, instead of the cow.
