Chuck Archives

Former Smallville star Kristin Kreuk is joining NBC’s spy show Chuck, EW reports.

The 26-year-old actress will play Hannah, a new love interesting for Chuck (Zachary Levi), whom she meets on a flight to Paris. Laid off from her glamorous publishing job, Hannah ends up working at the Buy More (where Chuck also works).

Interestingly enough, Chuck also recently just hired Brandon Routh, star of Superman Returns. Gotta keep it in the “S” family!

Superman Returns star Brandon Routh has joined the NBC cult show Chuck for a multi-episode arc.

I love this show even more now!

EW’s Michael Ausiello reports the 29-year-old actor will play “Shaw, a mysterious new spy who takes control as the new leader of Operation Bartwoski, becoming a mentor to Chuck (Zachary Levi) and a rival in his affections for Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski).”

Exciting. Subway sandwiches all around!!!

Buy More geeks, rejoice!

NBC spy action-comedy Chuck will be back for a third season for at least 13 episodes, says Hollywood Reporter.

Fans had launched a “Save Chuck” campaign that included buying sandwiches at series sponsor Subway. Check out the video below. NBC listens!

THR also reports that Zachary “has been a team player for NBC, appearing in the network’s PSA campaigns, marketing promotions and events.”

Check out this video clip of Nicole Richie doing some major butt-kicking during her guest appearance on NBC’s hit show Chuck. The episode airs on Monday, October 20 @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC.

Here’s the episode synopsis: Chuck (Zachary Levi) learns more about Sarah’s (Yvonne Strahovski) past when they run into her old high school nemesis Heather Chandler (guest star Nicole Richie). Sarah’s teenage insecurities come to surface and she tries to avoid Heather at all costs. Chuck, on the other hand, does everything he can to hear more about Sarah’s hidden life. When Heather’s nerdy husband Mark (Ben Savage) turns out to be a key player in a new mission, the agents must attend Sarah’s high school reunion to prevent the sale of potentially dangerous super-bomber plans — all the action ends with the ultimate cat fight. Meanwhile, Big Mike (Mark Christopher Lawrence) leaves town for a day and Buy More’s new assistant manager Lester (Vik Sahay) decides to implement a new sales policy.

From Entertainment Weekly:

CHUCK: Guest star Nicole Richie–yes, that’s her–guns for her old high school nemesis Sarah Walker (Yvonne Strahovski, not pictured), Chuck’s CIA gal pal, on an October episode of the NBC spy series.

“She was a cheerleader,” says Nicole of her character, Heather. “Kind of that b—-y mean girl.”

Looks like old habits die hard.

“I had a stunt double,” added Nicole on her action-packed role as a girl girl on NBC’s Chuck. “But they said I was allowed to do as much as I wanted–except for serious things.”

Chuck cuties Zachary Levi and Yvonne Strahovski horse around while filming their hit NBC show on Clovelly Beach in Syndey, Australia on Wednesday.

Unfortunately, Chuck is one of the shows, along with Heroes, 24, and Pushing Daises, that aren’t expected back until next season.

BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chuck executive producer Josh Schwartz has said, “If the strike is over, then on behalf of Chuck and Gossip Girl we are all thrilled to get back to work. Both shows will be back for more episodes—when, I can’t quite say, though Gossip Girl will most likely be on as soon as possible. Chuck may not be back until fall to relaunch with Heroes, or it may be back sooner, but both will be back!”

At Thursday’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria struts the pink carpet in a glittery gold tuxedo-shirt-fronted dress and Loubutin peep toes.

After taking in the show’s series of animal-inspired lingerie looks and cheering for Posh and the other Spice Girls (”I’m here to support Victoria… Go Spice Girls!”), Eva jetted for the Kodak Theatre’s grand ballroom for the after party.

There, she partied and posed with former Alias spy Michael Vartan and actress Sarah Lancaster (currently appearing as awesome doctor Ellie Bartowski on NBC’s awesome new spy show Chuck).
