In truth, The Big Bang Theory probably wouldn't be as enduringly popular as it is without the irrepressible Sheldon Cooper, which is probably why Parsons has negotiated himself such a strong contract, which was helped on by other film work. His new contract puts him at $1m an episode (instead of $350k) so expect a leap in 2015.
