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.
