The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons stopped by MTV to reveal that he'd love to play a villain in a Batman movie! Find out which evildoer is his dream role below!

Parsons plays the lead voice in Home, a DreamWorks Animation adaption of the award-winning book The True Meaning of Smekday by Adam Rex co-starring Rihanna. In Home, a friendly alien race invades Earth and uses it as a hideout from their mortal enemy. The film is now in theaters.

Parsons, who leads Broadway's An Act of God, was most recently seen on stage in the summer of 2012, in Roundabout's Broadway revival of Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Harvey, in the role of Elwood Dowd, the genial eccentric who claims to see a six-foot-tall white rabbit Harvey. The production ran at Studio 54, with a special benefit performance supporting Education@Roundabout following the smash-hit limited engagement.

A four-time Emmy winner, Golden Globe Award winner and SAG Nominee, Jim Parsons continues to bring a winning combination of indelible charm, charisma and comedic timing to his roles on screen and on stage, establishing himself as one of Hollywood's leading men. Parsons stars as 'Sheldon Cooper' on CBS' critically acclaimed hit "The Big Bang Theory."

Parsons recently starred in The Normal Heart, HBO's original movie adaptation of the Tony-winning Larry Kramer play, which was written by Kramer and directed by Ryan Murphy. The project tells the story of the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s. Parsons plays gay activist Tommy Boatwright, reprising his role from the 2011 Broadway revival. The film debuted on HBO on May 25, 2014. Parsons received an Emmy nomination for his role, and the film won an Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie. In 2011, Parsons received a Theatre World Award for his debut Broadway performance as Tommy Boatwright in The Normal Heart, starring opposite Ellen Barkin, John Benjamin Hickey and Joe Mantello.
