Eliza Dushku hits Big Bang Theory

Eliza Dushku adds some flare to The Big Bang Theory tonight when the series goes head-to-head with shows like The Vampire Diaries, Community, and Bones. Pretty stiff competition, but as a Maxim pinup girl and a long-time heartbreaker on the fanboy scene–Dollhouse didn’t help– Dushku knows a thing or two about making things stiff.

The episode of the popular CBS series features Dushku in the role of an FBI agent, who is interviewing Wolowitz’s friends to determine if he gets a top-secret security clearance. Kudos to the writers for the authenticity. I recently had to do this very thing for a friend of mine who’d made it all the way through to the conditional offer of employment phase. That’s exactly what the Bureau does, although the agent I talked to didn’t look anything like Dushku.
