THE BIG BANG THEORY: Eliza Dushku Is The Ultimate Lie Detector


Tonight’s episode of CBS’s The Big Bang Theory features a guest starring role by Eliza Dushku (Dollhouse, Wet), playing FBI Agent Angela Page. Dushku’s character is there to strap down and  interrogate… I mean, perform a security evaluation on the guys for Wolowitz’s (Simon Helberg) security clearance.

Raj (Kunal Nayyar) probably can’t answer her questions as he normally can’t speak in front of people of the finer sex. Dushku talked about her character’s questioning of her first victim:

“Raj is uncomfortable from the moment I walk in. He’s my first interviewee and he sets the tone for the blunders and insanity. He was great. Kunal plays that part so well.”

How does Sheldon (Jim Parsons) fare? His social awkwardness may really put Wolowitz in jeopardy as Dushku let on:

“It’s typical Sheldon! He can’t help himself. He tells me more than he should and more than I want to know.”

Would you like to see Dushku in more comedic roles? She seems to enjoy playing lighter fare as well:

“I love comedy. … I feel like I really want to get back into that playful side of me because it’s so much of who I am,” she says. “I think back to Bring It On and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. [Big Bang] was so much fun. I love the format and the schedule for a half-hour multi-camera. You rehearse, you play around with it and then it’s the live audience night. You have so much adrenaline. I had my family and friends in the audience [and after] my first take, they were like, ‘Yeah, your first take — you were a little stiff.’ But we get to do it again, unlike theater, so once I got through that, it was very natural and very fun.”

Dushku’s appearance on The Big Bang Theory follows other sci-fi hotties, Summer Glau (The Cape, Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles) and Katee Sackhoff (24, Battlestar Galactica).

Watch The Big Bang Theory on CBS, Thursdays at 8/7C.
