Star Zachary Levi dished to us all about the famous faces that are coming to play this season, including Michael Clarke Duncan, John Larroquette, Nicole Richie, Tony Hale and … Alf?

Also, find out the fellow NBC star he’s most mistaken for, why he called himself a douchebag and what possible (OK, totally improbable) future storyline he let slip about a team of midget ninjas. No kidding.

Working alongside Michael Clarke Duncan, did you ever get the feeling that he could just crush you with his bare hands?
Yeah, he’s a behemoth of a man. What’s crazy though is he’s not a big fan of heights. I’m fine with them … especially when I’m all wired up. I know they’re not gonna drop me. You know, I’m hanging out the window between takes and whatever and Michael’s like, “Hey man, you OK? You sure you’re doing alright?” [Laughs]

And John Larroquette — what an amazing casting choice for an ex-spy!
Wasn’t he incredible? He said, “I checked out the show and I really liked what you guys were doing, so I wanted to come and do it.” And I was like “What? You? John Larroquette … Night Court, Stripes … you like what we’re doing?” That’s the ultimate compliment when someone you respect that much enjoys what you do.

But you also have Tony Hale, Nicole Richie, Jordana Brewster, Melinda Clark … it seems like everyone is lining up for a Chuck guest spot!
They’re all coming in, yeah. Alf, Ricky Schroder, we’re gonna get both Gary Coleman and Emmanuel Lewis. They’re gonna be like this midget ninja team … [Laughs]

Oh, Gary Coleman … but you do have Gary Cole, right?
Yeah, Gary Cole! “Peter — what’s happening? Listen, uh, did you get that memo?” That was the first thing I said to Gary Cole in the hair and make-up trailer and immediately I was like, I’m the same douchebag this guy meets every day.

[Laughs] So has it gotten hard for you to leave the house without people recognizing you?
No! I honestly think people look at me and they’re so used to seeing me in the white shirt and the tie — unless I’m in that, they don’t make the connection. If anything, they think I’m John Krasinski. [Laughs] But hey, if I could be compared to anybody, you know, he’s a good-looking, talented guy. Whatever.

Do you think he looks like John Krasinski?
