6 Kaley Cuoco Is An Established Actress - And Wants You To Know It
Fans who haven't read too much into Cuoco's career may think she hasn't been around all that long, and only began with The Big Bang Theory. Wrong! Kaley has been acting for well over 30 years, and wants you to know about it! When a source described her as a “newcomer” after being nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in comedy thriller The Flight Attendant, Kaley was mad.
“It’s hysterical,” she said in an interview with i. “Doesn’t anyone remember I was on that sitcom for 12 f***ing years that only ended about six seconds ago? I don’t give a sh*t, but it’s a judgmental business. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever done. I’ve never tried to fight against any of it. I think anyone who tries to erase the work that got them where they are is so wrong.”
Kaley has a lot of work behind her, and a lot of work ahead too.
5 How Is Kaley Cuoco Feeling About Future Work After 'The Big Bang Theory'?
Though she has a lot up her sleeve, Cuoco has confessed to feeling nervous in her post-Big Bang era.
“I’ll never be able to compare anything to Big Bang. It was such a specific and special situation that nothing will ever be like it,” she says. Perhaps that’s why she refuses to rule out revisiting the character. “I would for sure do a reunion, absolutely. I’m counting down the days till the Friends reunion airs. I think we need to give Big Bang a little bit of a break, but I’m down for that any time.
“I think there’s a misconception that people that are on shows for a long time get worried about being pigeonholed. I used to laugh because I was like, ‘if I’m typecast as the girl next door in a sitcom for the rest of my life, that’s the best thing that could ever happen to me’.”
