It was partly due to the death of one of his beloved dogs.

Jim Parsons is opening up about what led to his exit from The Big Bang Theory.

But things didn't really begin to solidify in his mind until he wrapped production on season 11 in the summer of 2018 and immediately relocated to New York to appear in The Boys In The Band on Broadway.RELATED: The Big Bang Theory Named Longest Running Multi-Camera Sitcom with 276 Record-Breaking Episodes

Parsons decided to shoot the commercial and continued his work on Broadway. But the following night, the dog suffered a bad seizure, and the actor and his husband Todd Spiewak made the difficult decision to put their pet out of its pain.“It was the scariest moment for the next couple of days because I felt like I was at the edge of a cliff," Parsons said about grieving for his dog."I was teetering and I saw something really dark below.

"I had this moment of clarity that I think you’re very fortunate to get in a lot of ways, of going, ‘Don’t keep speeding by.' You know? ‘Use this time to take a look around.’ And I did,” said Parsons. “I was like, ‘I gotta make a move.'"In addition to his dog's death, another personal decision led to his departure from the show.
