'The Big Bang Theory' is no stranger to sexy sci-fi starlets, having scored geektastic cameos from Katee Sackhoff and Summer Glau in seasons past (with the former about to make a hotly anticipated reappearance) -- but this latest casting coup is certain to get fanboy hearts a'fluttering.
Having earned her action credentials as butt-kicking Faith in 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' and the enigmatic Echo in 'Dollhouse,' it's no surprise that 'The Big Bang Theory' tapped Eliza Dushku to play yet another strong female character.
So far, she's confirmed to appear in one episode of the CBS comedy's fourth season (now airing Thursdays at 8PM ET). Join us after the jump for more info on what we can expect when Dushku makes her 'Big Bang' bow.
Details are sparse at this stage of the game (Dushku's character is as-yet unnamed), but a rep for the comedy confirmed that Dushku will appear in episode 7, playing an FBI agent who has the unenviable task of interviewing Wolowitz's (Simon Helberg) friends to ascertain whether our tight-pant wearing engineer should be granted top level security clearance. Something pertaining to his work with NASA, perhaps?
Somehow, if Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) is involved, we're guessing that Wolowitz's case isn't looking too great -- but if Wolowitz succeeds, just imagine the slew of new pick-up lines he can use. Nothing impresses a woman like secret government access, right?
The fourth season of 'The Big Bang Theory' premieres tonight at 8PM ET on CBS.
