16. Jim Parsons Invented The Smile

Okay, okay, so Jim Parsons didn€™t invent smiling in general but he did invent the way his character smiles. In the script, the writers had simply decided to leave it up to the actor to decide how the smile would look, writing €œunpleasant smile€ as his only guidance. Luckily for them, trusting Jim Parsons to come up with the ideal creepy but hilarious characteristic worked out pretty well for everyone involved and his now iconic bad smiles are a staple in the show. A moment of truly inspired genius - and yet another reason why Parson's performance is one of the most beloved parts of the show.
