Most sitcom actors run into that. I’m sure Jim Parsons won’t ever be seen as anyone else, or for an older example all of the cast of Seinfeld (arguably besides Julia).
I don’t even know who Jim Parsons is, so perhaps he’ll be a little less affected by that, but Seinfeld is a poor example because the character (and show) is literally named after the actor. Though I’ll concede your point stands for George and Kramer.

@QHC @startrek Ted Danson has done some fabulous work outside of Cheers, but I’m sure that show will be considered his legacy.
I think of him as Michael from The Good Place, but it’s probably because I watched it more recently than Cheers.
@TheGiantKorean He also had a terrific recurring guest role in the drama Damages.
He should also be glad that he gets three other things mentioned before anyone brings up that time he did blackface.
JFC how did I not know about this? While he was dating Whoopi Goldberg and roasting her. Fuck.
I see Becker when I think of Danson
Nobody will ever see Bryan Cranston as anything other than a goofy TV dad.
People have compiled screenshots of the negative reactions when he was announced for Breaking Bad, lol.
