Jim Parsons | Otis and Rufus

James Joseph “Jim” Parsons is mostly known for his role as Sheldon on the hit sitcom, The Big Bang Theory. What you didn’t know is that he’s also a father of two… Two dogs; Otis and Rufus. Otis is a Maltese, and is the older of the two, and Rufus is a Shih-Tzu. Sadly, Otis passed away in 2018 and was a major factor for Parsons’ decision to resign from the show.

Even though one of them is not around anymore, you can’t say that they didn’t live a happy life. Parsons’ LA home in Los Feliz is truly stunning. The Spanish-style home boasts an area of 4,026 square feet and has a lot of features including a pool, a huge living space with black-and-white flooring, and a mini amphitheater. The actor bought it from Twilight star, Robert Pattinson, back in 2011 for $6.3 million. In 2018, he listed the mansion for $8.95 million but accepted an offer for $6.95 million.
