We all know that Jim is a fantastic actor and that he won four Emmy awards (and one Golden Globe) for playing Sheldon. It’s interesting that in three out of four of his wins, he was drunk.

“The Pants Alternative”
(season 3, episode 18)
Sheldon drinks wine so that he can give a speech and ends up dropping his pants. “Here’s Uranus!”

“The Agreement Dissection”
(season 4, episode 21)
He criticizes Amy for drinking alcohol then ends up dancing the waltz with her. “Dah dah dah dah dah, dum dum, dum dum.”

“The Habitation Configuration”
(season 6, episode 7)
Sheldon downs two Long Island Iced Teas and ends up trying to fight Wil Wheaton. “My fists are not up here because I’m milking a giant invisible cow.”

“The Relationship Diremption”
(season 7, episode 20)
When Sheldon is down over his lack of progress with string theory, he drinks wine and ends up drunk dialing Stephen Hawking. “Hawkman. It’s your old buddy Sheldonoscopy.”

The impressive part is that Jim played Sheldon out of character while remaining firmly in character. Now that’s acting.
