The Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons has been cast in a pivotal role opposite Zac Efron’s Ted Bundy in the true-life crime thriller Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile.
A source close to the film tells The Wrap that Parsons will play Larry Simpson in Extremely Wicked.
While the move of playing the prosecutor in one of Bundy’s trials isn’t nearly as risky as Efron playing the serial killer, taking on a serious role in Extremely Wicked is a great move for Parsons.
Filming is currently underway on the film, and Efron recently shared a first look of him as Bundy in what appeared to be a recreation of a booking photo.
