Kaley Cuoco has certainly made a name for herself in Hollywood, and her sister, Briana
Cuoco, has been by her side the whole time.
Here is the untold truth of Kaley's multi-talented younger sister.
In July 2020, Kaley Cuoco's Instagram followers saw The Wedding Ringer starlet and her little
sister, Briana Cuoco, rocking matching leggings.
Oh, but they weren't just any ol' leggings.
Rather, they were leggings from CULT, the Los Angeles-based clothing company that was
founded by Briana.
In a video promoting the line, Briana said,
"Most streetwear brands are made by men, for men.
I wanted to start a brand that was made by women."
Before the brand was launched in late 2019, Briana told VoyageLA that it was a challenge
starting the company from scratch, saying,
"I had literally zero idea what the hell I was doing."
She told the outlet she was motivated to start this venture because, quote, "the entertainment
business is unpredictable and you have little to no control throughout most of it."
After attending business seminars and other mediums, it took less than two years for her
company to launch.
She noted that it takes, quote, "a team of people that have your back emotionally and
that you really trust to do their jobs" to make a clothing line happen, adding,
"I'm also really proud of the fact that we're a company completely built and run by amazing
women."
Just like sister Kaley, Briana started performing at a young age.
On a 2020 episode of Jen Biddle, Sharing a Smile, Briana said her parents realized early
on that she could carry a tune, telling Jen,
"So, they put me in singing lessons and then musical theater happened."
In 2019, Briana told VoyageLA that as a youngster she also did both print and commercial work
and progressed as she got older.
By the time Briana was in middle school she solely locked in on dancing and continued
that through high school, up until she began booking professional dancing gigs.
She told the magazine,
"I worked briefly as a dancer on shows like Glee and America's Got Talent but I quickly
realized being a dancer wasn't what I was meant to do, my heart was with singing and
acting."
In 2012, The Big Bang Theory cast and crew performed their first infamous flash mob during
a live taping of their season six episode "The 43 Peculiarity."
At PaleyFest in 2013, Kaley shared the story about how her sister had a hand in creating,
quote, "the best moment" of her life.
Kaley told the cast about her idea of the flash mob.
"I didn't know how we were going to pull this off, but my sister happens to be an incredible
dancer and choreographer."
And thanks to Briana, Kaley was able to make her flash mob dream come true.
Thirty minutes after Kaley reached out, her sister had it all figured out.
The Big Bang Theory creator and executive producer, Chuck Lorre, called up Briana to
choreograph a sequence in Two and a Half Men's musical episode, "Grab a Feather and Get in
Line."
Lorre complimented Briana at PaleyFest saying, quote, "she killed it" when she organized
a group of 50-some odd dancers on Two And A Half Men's set.
Lorre added, she's a, quote, "amazingly talented woman."
It's no wonder The Big Bang Theory had Briana choreograph their final flash mob ahead of
the series finale.
Briana Cuoco has forever secured her legacy in the DC Universe.
On the second season of the animated series Harley Quinn, Briana joined the cast's roster
when she was brought on to provide the voice for Batgirl.
In a 2020 Cup of Cuoco video, Briana credited Kaley for giving her the part of Barbra "Batgirl"
Gordon.
Kaley is not only the voice actor for the title character on Harley Quinn, but serves
as the program's executive producer.
However, Kaley denied the notion that she handed Briana the role of Batgirl.
"I had nothing to do with it.
She really earned it."
Briana can be heard in four episodes portraying the character and may return for more, as
HBO Max announced in the fall of 2020 that the series was picked up for a third season.
The Voice alum called her role as Batgirl the, quote, "best job of all time" on Jen
Biddle, Sharing a Smile.
On top of that, it has earned positive reviews: Entertainment Weekly gave the show an "A-"
and wrote,
"Harley Quinn needs so many more seasons."
It's a good gig, a well-regarded series, and a chance for the sisters to work together.
What more could you ask for?
The Voice fans may remember Briana from Season 5 of the hit singing competition show.
Following her debut on the series, Briana told Extra it was Kaley who encouraged her
to audition.
And Kaley's The Big Bang Theory co-stars were rooting for Briana, too.
Joking, Jim Parsons told Access,
"We give Kaley a lot of hell, like, 'Oh, so finally the world is going to see the really
talented Cuoco!'"
Briana's talent impressed five-time Grammy Award-winner Christina Aguilera, who spun
her chair during Briana's blind audition to the tune of Lady Gaga's "Yoü and I." Country
music icon Blake Shelton eventually stole Briana before she was bounced out amidst the
opening knockout rounds.
According to her website, she ended up in the top 32 of 50,000-plus auditionees.
In 2016, Briana told Craftversations! she was getting booked for musical theater gigs,
so her music career took, quote, "a little bit of a backseat" at the time, saying,
"I am, you know, doing videos for YouTube and trying to stay a little relevant."
Briana hasn't posted much on her YouTube channel since her 2017 cover of Demi Lovato's "Smoke
and Mirrors," but she occasionally shares videos on Instagram where she's singing at
events with a band or solo.
In 2013, Briana had a cameo in The Big Bang Theory on Season 6 episode "The Tangible Affection
Proof."
Ever since, she has been no stranger to acting on television.
As her website notes, she's appeared on shows like The Mentalist, NCIS and Criminal Minds.
In 2020, Briana reunited with her sister in live-action form on the HBO Max series The
Flight Attendant, in which Kaley stars as the lead character and is an executive producer.
In 2020, Kaley told Extra she didn't even know her sibling was auditioning, saying,
"I was actually watching casting videos and I saw her on there and I was, like, couldn't
believe it.
People think that I can just grant wishes and be like, 'You want to be in it?
Sure.'
Not how it works."
The Big Bang Theory star explained that hers is one of, quote, "like 20 opinions," but
ultimately, her little sister won 'em over.
She said,
"Everyone loved what Bri did and she actually plays a very pivotal role so I was, I am thrilled
for her."
Kaley said she personally called Briana to inform her she won the role, and then they
broke the news to their parents on FaceTime.
Kaley made headlines in 2016 when she shared on Instagram that she called into The Bachelor.
Briana posted that same video on her Instagram.
That same year, Briana revealed to Entertainment Tonight that she, Kaley, and their dogs watch
The Bachelor together.
The former People's Choice Awards choreographer admitted that even though she is a fan, she
wouldn't want to be a contestant on the long-running reality series.
She said,
"I think I just would want to be The Bachelorette but I think that's harder.
Yeah, I think it's really difficult to do that."
She did shoot her shot with The Bachelor's Ben Higgins, saying,
"Ben, if you didn't find someone this season"
And then, she gave the phone call hand gesture and mouthed, quote, "You got my number."
When the finale rolled around, the sisters sported custom leggings in an Instagram post
with the faces of the top two contestants on each leg: One pair read TeamJoJo for JoJo
Fletcher and the other TeamLauren for Lauren Bushnell, the latter being the eventual winner
of Season 20.
Much like her sister Kaley, who clapped back at trolls who took issue with her Instagram
post about working out with a mask on, Briana isn't afraid to slam internet critics.
According to The Blast, she stood up to someone who supposedly slid in her DMs and said,
"Stop covering up in bulk, you are beautiful and confident woman."
The outlet reported that Briana fired back at the keyboard warrior—without identifying
the user or pointing out their grammatical flaws—in an Instagram Story, writing,
"Those of us that identify as female don't need to dress in tight clothes to feel beautiful,
confident or sexy!!
Personally, sometimes I feel my sexiest & most confident in clothes that are stereotypically
made for identifying males and that's literally no one else's concern or decision but my own!!"
Briana has tagged along with Kaley at numerous events, award shows, and red carpet appearances.
Beyond supporting each other's performance arts careers the sisters spend a lot of time
together — especially during the pandemic.
In August 2020, the two shared in a Cup of Cuoco video that they quarantined together
in upstate New York before they could get back to filming The Flight Attendant.
And in November 2020, Kaley posted a photo wishing Bri a happy birthday.
She wrote,
"You are so special to so many and I’m constantly in awe (and slightly jealous) of how cool
you are! love you so much.
you are on the brink of greatness!"
Their connection is a strong one.
Back in 2016, Briana told Entertainment Tonight that Kaley often gives her advice about the
industry, relaying Kaley's message,
"Keep your feet on the ground.
Don't take yourself too seriously, don't be a jerk, just be a good human and work hard
and things will happen."
The relationship between these two talented sisters prove the adage "blood is thicker
than water" is true.
With these two working together on The Flight Attendant and Harley Quinn, they are doing
their father proud.
As Kaley told Extra, seeing his two daughters work together was his, quote, "biggest dream
as a dad."
