In the real world, those who are "scientists" tend to look down on those who are "engineers." For their part, engineers think of scientists as impractical dreamers. Furthermore, in the world of physics specifically, there is a split between the theoretical physicists and the experimental physicists.

His character arc in "Hidden Figures" is one of the more interesting. He wasn't really a bad guy, but he was a man of the times. By the end of the movie he had overcome most of his bigotry.

Yes. While in many ways his role was to help the others shine in this move, his character probably experiences the most growth and change from beginning to end. The ending where they co-author a paper and he hands her a cup of coffee bring things full circle.

The "coffee" scene at the very end of the movie really ties it all together. He gives her a cup of coffee (if you saw the movie, you know about coffee incidents), and you might have missed that after he handed her the coffee, he proceeded to read the document she typed up which had her name on it, and. He was opposed her name being on the documents through the whole movie, but this time it didn't affect him at all. The subtlety of the scene hits harder than some overly dramatic apology or remorseful "acceptance of her" speech on his part.

Fighting for legal rights was the objective in the twentieth century, fighting for prejudices to end, prejudice that still hold women, POC and anyone of any minority group back, is the objective of today. With equal rights, we have come a long way, but there's still people like Paul out there and unless people fight those views will remain. Maybe the way it's being fought isn't the right way but until someone finds a better way to fight it, you shouldn't stand in there way!

Jim Parsons was brilliant in Hidden Figures, a very, very difficult role, but much like the entire cast, Teraji, Octavia, Janelle and Kevin they were all amazing.

This film should have won the oscar for all of their work.

Sadly Hollywood always gets it wrong with the films they choose for Oscars. Apart from Gladiator sweeping the boards in 2000 that is.

i wish the interviewer asked him questions pertaining specifically to his role, which was the personification of institutionalised racism in the 60s. Although Jim Parsons (bless his heart) addressed these points as well as he could have given the nature of the questions i was a little surprised that the questions were open-ended to the point that it could have been directed at any other engineer movie role when it clearly shouldn't be, and would have been missed entirely if Jim Parsons wasn't as astute and mindful of it as he was.

Notice how when the smartest black women got a promotion, there was already only 1 women that was working there?? that was because women did not have enough rights! stop trying to bring racism back in the world because it's going away and it's never coming back!

Saw the movie yesterday and it was such a joy and inspirational movie. These ladies ..AMAZING! Jim did a wonderful job it was nice to see him in a different environment.

Major hurdles and attitudes at the time. It's 2020 and we are still going through these issues. Even with over 18years experience, they want me to trouble shoot messed up work but no promotion or raise.......

Wow, what a timewarp. Matt Lauer still had his job, and I hadn't seen Hidden Figures 250 times.

He completely ignored the vital black history that Jim was trying to bring to light

I was really surprised to watch him in a total contrast of his usual hillarious character in Big Bang.. awesome acting

Great movie. Sure glad these women's story finally got told about how they contributed to the space program.

I love Jim Parsons, just wanna hug him.

Can we just appreciate how posh and polite he is

I love me some Jim Parsons.

I have no doubt Jim felt a bit out of place playing a character so unlike himself, but I can only imagine how Taraji felt! She played an extremely straight-laced, reserved lady who -- from what I've seen -- is NOTHING like Taraji. She's so vivacious I imagine she turns every room into a party just by walking into it!

Jim Parsons is a gifted actor. I just watched him in the new series, “Hollywood.” The guy is amazing!

The dude interviewing was trying his best to dodge the racial aspects of Hidden Figures

Very talented actor. Congratulations on your impressive career! I will be watching...signed...Cdn sister in SAG-AFTRA.

I am really relieved that you struggled. And you are right, it was a sign of the times. You were very convincing. Lol

One of my favorite movies. The actors were perfect for this one. I never heard of Jim Parson until I saw Hidden Figures. He was perfect as the prejudiced engineer. Hard to believe that such brilliant minds were so racist and the drudgery people of color had to endure in those times, and still do. It's no wonder they're stronger than most whites. Sometimes suffering does that - makes you stronger, wiser and more spiritually advanced.

Paul Stafford & Al Harrison were actually my favorite characters when it comes to character building in the film. It is so inspiring it moved me to tears at the end credits. Films *very* rarely do that to me.

Loved that Jim was so smart to go outside his typecast and being able to work outside his comfort zone. When you look at the BBT you have actors who have been in sitcoms or on Broadway since they were old enough to go on auditions ,

Truth is I never heard of Jim Parsons until I saw him in Hidden Figures for the 1st time in Dec 2017. Since then I've watched this film well over 20 times from start to finish. Maybe other actors could have pulled off his scenes but I thought JP's performance was perfect. At the beginning of the film... those unwelcome, cold-hearted looks at Katherine, were brilliant. I will definitely watch other films he's in.

I only watched Hidden Figures a couple of weeks ago. Before then never knew it existed. OMG, what an amazing movie. This is one of the few movies I'm looking forward to seeing more than once.

I'm PO'd twice. First, because I never knew about them. Second, because I've never heard of this movie. I didn't watch documentaries or read books about it. I watch the launches dating back to the Mercury Program. These ladies and so many other unknowns are heroes. We need to see their faces. We need to know their names. We need to hear their stories.

Henson should have at least been nominated for this.

Jim is just a beautiful man; inside and out.

That first part..I have never heard this story before.
