Proving that all good things come in twos, actress Laura Spencer has been blessed with two hot televisions roles that air on Thursday nights right now: she plays Jessica on the Fox series BONES and Emily on the CBS series THE BIG BANG THEORY, and having previously portrayed Jane Bennet in the internet phenomenon, the LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES, Laura’s career feels a bit rosy and charmed right now.
In an exclusive interview, Laura talked about her remarkable good fortune in the television projects she is working on for THE BIG BANG THEORY and BONES, and some of the lessons she learned working on LIZZIE BENNET DIARIES.
What can you share about your role as Emily upcoming on THE BIG BANG THEORY?
LAURA: I’m very excited. One of my scenes reveals that Emily has a little bit of a dark side. We’ve seen a little of that before and this is just a hint that there might be something a little dark about her. So that’s a lot of fun.
Do you know how long your story arc is going to be on the show?
LAURA: This is my second appearance this season and I was in five episodes last season introducing the relationship with Emily and Raj (Kunal Nayyar). We’re just getting to know Emily a lot more since Raj and Emily seem to be pretty serious at this point.
Are Raj and Emily your favorite couple on the show right now? Are you rooting for them?
LAURA: (Laughs) I’m a little biased. So, yeah. But if I had to pick another couple, I’d probably pick Howard (Simon Helberg) and Bernadette (Melissa Rauch). I may be a bit biased there too because I’ve gotten to do scenes as double-dates with that couple, so get to see their back-and-forth banter and dynamic up close and personal. So I guess I have an attachment to that. I think Simon and Melissa are really lovely people. Everyone on the show is lovely. It is just really fun to see two pros go at it.
So why do you think we should be rooting for Raj and Emily?
LAURA: The reason I’m rooting for Raj and Emily is that I think Emily gets Raj, and I think she celebrates his quirkiness and loves his nerdiness. She doesn’t ever criticize him and she just seems to be very open with whatever he is in to. And it seems like he does the same with her. She clearly has these weird dark interests and he is not really phased by it. That’s why I’m rooting for them. I think that is the basis of a good relationship. I think it’s even more than that — I think they enjoy each other’s quirks. I really love seeing that on the show.
