Kaley Cuoco may have rocketed to fame as the lovable Penny on The Big Bang Theory, but there’s another role that has her strutting with pride—and it’s not what you’d expect. Sure, Penny’s sarcastic wit and charm made her a fan favorite, but it’s Cuoco’s leap into the chaotic world of DC Comics that truly has her boasting. Forget the sitcom laugh tracks; we’re talking about a role where the stakes are higher, the action wilder, and the character just a tad more unpredictable.

Kaley Cuoco is having a moment. The Big Bang Theory alum is swapping sitcom laughs for blood-soaked action in her new film, Role Play. But while she’s thrilled about her badass assassin character, there’s another role closer to her heart.
In an interview with Variety, Cuoco gushed about her voiceover work in Harley Quinn. Despite her massive success as Penny, the actress is particularly proud of her animated alter ego. The raunchy, foul-mouthed DC anti-heroine has become a surprise hit, and Cuoco can’t contain her excitement.
The TBBT star spilled the beans on how much the audience loved her work in Harley Quinn. And who can blame them? The show’s blend of humor, violence, and complex characters is a refreshing departure from the usual superhero fare. Cuoco shared:
It is the best! I feel like I can brag about it, because I don’t feel like it’s me. It’s just my voice! So I’m like, ‘You’ve gotta watch Harley Quinn!’ I just think the writing is so brilliant, the storylines. I get more people coming up to me lately being like, ‘Oh my God, we love Harley Quinn.’ They love it! People love it.
Cuoco’s totally embracing this new chapter of her career with open arms. Whether it’s kicking butt on the big screen, lending her voice to a beloved animated series, or potentially returning to the world of Cassie Bowden, Kaley Cuoco is proving that she’s more than just Penny.
