The 45-year-old actress has admitted to being surprised that Jim Parsons wanted to work with her again on the comedy series 'Call Me Kat', which is based on the British sitcom 'Miranda'.
Mayim - who previously starred alongside Jim in 'The Big Bang Theory' - shared: "When Jim brought [the script] to me, I thought he was just asking my opinion because we were friends and we have a lot of similar tastes."
Jim, 47, serves as an executive producer on the series, and Mayim was "shocked" that he wanted to work with her again.
She told the 'Watch With Us' podcast: "I was like, ‘That sounds great. I totally think that’s a great idea!’ He was like, ‘No, Mayim. I’m telling you about this because I want you to play her.’
"I was totally shocked that Jim Parsons wanted to still work with me. I think I’m very annoying, but he apparently thinks I’m not as annoying as I think I am, because he wanted to work with me!"
Mayim stars as a single woman who runs a cat cafe in the show, and she relished the opportunity to play a "real woman".
The actress added: "I love the opportunity to not be told, like, ‘Can you lose 20 pounds and just be like a better, skinnier version of yourself?’ I like just being myself.
"I don’t wear Spanx. I’ve never had plastic surgery. I don’t dye my greys, like, this is a show about a woman who I hope other women and men will look at this and say like, ‘Oh, there’s women like that, and they can be funny, can be quirky.'
"Also, I get to play a woman who’s, like, occasionally vulgar and socially anxious and awkward, clumsy and fun. A multifaceted women."
