Katie LeClerc Chats About Character on Big Bang Theory

Katie LeClerc takes time out from being Switched at Birth and will guest star on this Thursday's Big Bang Theory as Raj's girlfriend.

Via TVLine:

This Thursday on The Big Bang Theory(CBS, 8/7c), Penny seemingly finds a solution to Raj’s romantic woes in a spinning class gal pal who is Deaf, thus saving him the hurdle of having to communicate with her directly.

“Raj (played by Kunal Nayyar) gets a ton of assistance in talking to Emily, because he doesn’t speak sign language,” guest star Katie Leclerc, who like her Switched at Birth and Big Bang characters is in real life hearing-impaired, tells TVLine. Helping bridge the couple’s communication gap is Wolowitz, who “knows sign language in addition to five other languages,” Leclerc explains with a laugh.

“You might find out that my character is not necessarily what she seems,” says Leclerc. “She’s actually kind of a bitch!”
