Jim Parsons reveals he auditioned for 'The Office' before 'Big Bang Theory'

Jim Parsons, popularly known for his famous role as Sheldon Cooper in hit sitcom 'Big Bang Theory,' recently revealed that he was almost a part of another loved sitcom 'The Office,' before landing as Cooper. According to Fox News, the statements came during a panel discussion for an upcoming Fox sitcom 'Call Me Kat,' that he executive produces.
