Exclusive Interview: 'Chuck' Star Zachary Levi
September 24, 2007
One of the most anticipated new TV shows this fall is Chuck, NBC's action comedy that stars Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Baldwin, Joshua Gomez and Sarah Lancaster. Chuck is one of two new shows this season created by Josh Schwartz (the other is the CW's Gossip Girl), the man who also created The O.C. NBC is heavily promoting this new series, with billboards, TV spots, Internet ads and, most recently, a premiere event at the ritzy Pure nightclub at Caesars Palace Casino in Las Vegas.
The Chuck premiere event was a hot ticket to get, as it was nearly impossible to even get into the club amidst the throng of scantily clad women and sharp-dressed men. After finally getting in, I was whisked away to a red, velvety room, complete with its own restroom, that one could easily envision Britney, Paris or some other A-lister partying it up in. The room was packed with photographers waiting for the cast's arrival.
Once the cast arrived, they did not disappoint and were very accessible and friendly while frequently joking with each other, making it apparent that Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez's on-screen chemistry is aided by their genuine camaraderie. Yvonne Strahovski and Sarah Lancaster looked dazzling with Yvonne embodying the smartly dressed executive while Sarah came across sweet as Miss American Pie with her girl-next-door look in her stylish green dress.
I ended up interviewing Zach, Josh, and Yvonne, and here are some of the nuggets I found out about Zach and Chuck. Listen to the entire Zach Levi interview here.
-Zach is very modest and humble, and provided many thanks to the people around him. Despite all the publicity the show has received, he seems very grounded in his outlook.
-He is definitely putting in long hours to make Chuck happen. By my count, he had to yawn twice during the interview. Red Bull anyone?
-The cast does work very well together, and they genuinely like each other. I think this is a key reason why Chuck will resonate with viewers.
-His favorite TV show is Seinfeld, and he was looking forward to gambling with Celine Dion.
