Kaley Cuoco has had a dramatic rise in popularity, all thanks to her stint as Penny in The Big Bang Theory. The sitcom not only catapulted her to new heights but also brought in a loyal fan following. But after the show concluded in 2019, the actress has been involved in several diverse roles. Further, bringing out her versatility as an actor.
One such role was when she voiced Harley Quinn. While the sitcom brought her sultry side, the animated series of the same name let her out her raunchier side that only a few were aware of.
Kaley Cuoco’s Go-To Role for Showcasing Her Raunchier Side
After The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco has had quite a different career trajectory. She got on board The Flight Attendant and entered a more serious acting territory. But while she wanted to try out distinct roles, this period was also difficult for her given her divorce from equestrian Karl Cook.
She detailed all this and the tumultuous period in a 2022 interview with Variety. However, in the midst of the chitchat, she also talked about the Harley Quinn series. In the DC Universe produced show, the actress voiced the Queenpin of Gotham City, Harley Quinn.
But one element that she absolutely loved about the show was that she was free to curse as much as she wanted. She added, “I get to cuss my brains out in a booth every week. Like, who doesn’t want to do that?”
Cuoco had talked about the adult animated show earlier in 2019 as well, even before its premiere date was announced (via People). She added that being able to use strong language in this new role was a liberating experience for her after maintaining a clean image on The Big Bang Theory.
Further, she also noted that despite the sharp contrast between the two roles, the transition felt seamless to her. But the actress wasn’t without her doubts for the role. Cuoco added that initially, she was apprehensive about her voice being easily recognized by fans. Further, she feared that her version of the character might not align with Harley Quinn’s traditional New Jersey or Chicago accent.
So, to tackle this, she embraced a new approach, which she described as “Kaley Cuoco voice on crack.” This allowed her to infuse her own personality into the character while staying true to her distinctive vocal style.
