Interview: Zachary Levi & Josh Gomez from Chuck
It does seem like in the first couple episodes that despite their, you know, the presence of the occasional girlish shriek that Chuck is getting a little more confident, has gotten a little more used to the double life he's leading. That - am I reading that right and does that continue on further?
Zachary Levi: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I definitely think so. I mean, you know, any time a - you know, with a television series it's that really fine line of you don't - you can't change the show too drastically.
Otherwise, you know, audiences will be like oh, you know, that doesn't make any sense or it's not believable. But at the same time, you do have to have a maturation, a progression of your characters and of the writing that is believable and does make sense, and that keeps it, you know, keeps the momentum going and not just stagnant.
You know, with sitcoms it's a little easier because, you know, they're just all kind of self-contained episodes and you don't have to do it as much. But with a show like this, I think that's got a lot of heart and a lot of drama and relationship, and these real characters that, you know - or at least we're trying to make them real.
Maybe they're all just complete caricatures and we're hacks. I don't - I couldn't really tell you. But certainly, you know, I know that in the writing, you know, they've tweaked it a little bit so he is a little bit more comfortable.
And I know when I was starting to approach the role at the beginning of the season I wanted to do that as well. I don't want it to just be - I don't want it to be exactly the same Chuck that we all came to know last season.
I wanted to be basically same but he - you do see a little bit more. You know, he is - he does have a little bit more confidence. He has more confidence in Sarah and Casey because he trusts them much more now.
And he's kind of seen how they work and he's seen the things that he's been able to kind of, you know, bumble through and how that worked.
And so he's able to, you know, buy a little bit more time or have a little bit more confidence like, you know, in the first episode when he comes up with this plan, walks right up to Michael Clarke Duncan and is about to kill him and say no, you know, I'm Charles Carmichael and this is my trap.
I mean, you know, that's something that Chuck in first season might not have had the cojones to do. But in this season he tries it and it ends up working.
You know, when we talked last year about you having to possibly, you know, make out with Yvonne I believe you said that you'd have to take that bullet for the team. So now that it looks as if, you know, Chuck and Sarah have the potential to get more intimate do you think you'll be able to stomach some more make out scenes with Yvonne?
Zachary Levi: Man I don't know. I don't know.
That's a really tough question. I mean, I consider myself a team player. I really do. But I mean, have you been watching the show? You know, she was good looking last season but a lot's happened in the hiatus, you know.
And I don't know if she's just been eating too - are you kidding me? I would gladly put my lips on her lips or whatever - whatever they put in the script. She is one of the most beautiful girls in the world, you know.
And it's fun because she's also, you know, a big tomboy in a lot of ways, too. She's really down to earth and if I have to - I will take a barrage of bullets. I'll take a mortar to the chest if I have to if that's what we're talking about.
