SHELDON: I’d cast myself. No one’s lived it like I have. Based on a true story. Coming soon.
SCREEN: Most famous person you’ve ever met?

BONUS QUESTIONS!
SCREEN: If you could fix one thing, what would you fix?
SHELDON: Human Suffering.
SCREEN: Weekend getaway. Anywhere. Where to?

SCREEN: You can only be a fan of one sports team. Which one?
SHELDON: Lakers. I loved Michael Jordan as a kid, but Magic Johnson was my favorite. He made basketball a fast moving ballet of art.
