Author ArchiveHere is a very short clip from TV Guide with a little bit of info for season two. From INQUIRER.net : Oh dear. It seems that jocks and muscle heads may have hit their peak in high school. I remember the nerdy kid with the fanny pack and big pencil case that had a sharpener, calculator and different colored pens, the bunch of guys who constantly got teased but aced all the math and science tests. If only the cool guys knew back then that they were teasing their future bosses and future billionaires. The nerd has always been a strange character. Their awareness perhaps came to the forefront of consciousness in the cult classic Revenge of the Nerds movies, where nerdiness was the new cool… and girls liked it. Nerds aren’t the geeks or the dorks, although one could exhibit those characteristics. Indeed, a nerd is a strange combination of unusual smarts, those with a passion and fascination for strange things and a certain amount of hidden sexiness. Think of all the superheroes and their alter egos, Peter Parker, Tony Stark, maybe even Clark Kent ( but really who was ever fooled by those glasses?) Their turning into superheroes is a nerds dream come true. Yes, nerds are the new IT boys and it all comes to fruition in my newest favorite series, “Chuck.” Zachary Levi plays Chuck, a typical computer geek who opens an e-mail and downloads the US governments top secret computer into his brain called “the Intersect.” Chuck then becomes the most valuable asset to the government, using the flashes he gets from the computer to help bust the bad guys. He is joined by Yvonne Strahovski who plays Sarah, the agent sent to protect him. Chuck and Sarah team up as partners and adopt a cover as a couple—so believable that after a few episodes, you’ll be rooting for the sweetheart Chuck to get the girl for real. Thanks to my computer savvy series addicted friends, I heard about “Chuck” when it first aired in the States where it was instantly a big hit. I was fortunate enough to meet the stars of “Chuck” to realize how almost un-nerd like Zachary Levi is and how Yvonne Strahovski and I both like nerds. Read the interview with Zac and Yvonne here THERE’S a new hero in town – his name is Chuck, Chuck Bartowski. He may be a bumbling, nerdy employee at a low-priced megastore, Buy More (based on Best Buy, the electronics retailer in North America), but he is deemed special enough to be assigned personal spies by the government to protect him from dangerous situations. But he possesses the ultimate weapon to disarm anyone – a good heart.Zachary Levi says the title character he portrays in the TV series Chuck is a good guy who tries hard. “He’s the type of person that takes pride in whatever he’s doing. He believes in customer service and working hard but still aspires for more,” the lead actor says of Chuck at the meeting with the press in Sydney recently.And more is exactly what Chuck gets when a rogue spy sends him database containing government secrets that ends up locked in the guy’s brain. With only one existing copy and no way of downloading the information from his brain, Chuck is forced to go on missions with the two agents assigned to him. Read the rest of the article here Zachary Levi is seriously into games and gadgets, just like his character on Chuck. Zachary Levi is really not unlike the geeky character he plays in Chuck, even if he does crush the stereotype of a nerd by being handsome, stylish, charming, funny and, most importantly, the leading man of a TV show. But his inner geek is apparent the minute he takes his seat opposite the Asian journalists at a conference room of Shangri-La Hotel in Sydney, Australia. He’s immediately curious about the latest recording gadgets in front of him. Thanks to Ellen for sending me the link to this interview! Click here to read the interview |
