Penny meets Sheldon's Drug Addicted Cousin Leopold - The Big Bang Theory

Leonard lies to Penny so that he and Sheldon can get out of watching her perform. However, Sheldon believes that the lie has too many loose ends, so he comes up with a new, unnecessarily complex one to replace it, utilizing the hidden talents of Toby Loobenfeld, a research assistant in the particle physics lab.

The actor is DJ Quails. I first saw him in the movie "The New Guy" (2003) one of those teen doesn't fit in, tries a make over etc. I thought it was quite funny and entertaining. He's been a few movies and TV series. Co-starred with Jason Lee in the series "Memphis Beat" 2010-2011. I last saw him on an rerun episode of "Monk".

3:51 If I were Penny in that situation, and I could hear their very obvious “whispering,” I’d probably just assume that Leo rejects a hypothesis of Sheldon’s, in a “you don’t get me!” kind of way, and not have questioned it further.

[@PaolaLuna-lg2ch]

In fact, I think it makes the lie more believable, because we are talking about someone who is SHELDON's cousin. At this point of the series I think we only know his mom? So it would be easy for Penny to think "Oh, probably Sheldon's entire family is just this weird, so this is normal"
