Who does DON remind you of?

[Brantford]

As many of you have already mentioned, Don is said to remind people of Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory.

Did you see this or did you think Don had his own style?

I like to think of Don as his own man. I don't even want the visual of that other guy.

It's funny but when I was reading the book, the character of Sheldon never crossed my mind. I can certainly see why people would think of Sheldon but I thought Don was a more stable character than Sheldon. I find Sheldon to be sort of frantic at times, but Don seemed calm and methodical to me. Either way, they are both funny characters but I think Don is his own guy.

I don't watch much of Big Bang so that could account for the fact that I didn't immediatley think that Don as being like Sheldon. I think he is uniquely his own person - not as disdainful for sure.

Before I even read the book someone mentioned the Sheldon/Don similarities so I immediately pictured Jim Parsons. However, I've watched the show and Don is not Sheldon! I understand the comical parts of the book lend to a Sheldon character but Don is more handsome and rugged.

[Karen]

Definitely Don is more good looking. How about actor Simon Baker, they can dye his hair. He can do quirky.

[Laura]

Totally pictured the character of Sheldon, but I'm with Karen, a much better looking version. Simon Baker as Don would melt my heart. :)

Okay you girls have my curiosity piqued. I didn't know who Simon Baker was so I googled him. Hmmm...very cute. Yes he would make a good Don.

[Amy]

Good call. Simon Baker would make a great Don!
