Diedrich Bader To Guest, and Other News From the Set (SPOILERS!)

Warning: spoilers from the set of Chuck below. Don’t read on if you’re trying to stay spoiler-free.

It looks like we aren’t the only ones excited about Zachary Levi directing his first episode of Chuck; photos from the set of episode 3.09, “Chuck vs. the Beard”, have been coming thick and fast. Most aren’t all that spoilery, but check out this photo of Mark Christopher Lawrence, Zachary Levi and…Diedrich Bader?

Looks like the former Jethro will be guest starring in this episode, possibly as someone from Buy More management. I guess that makes sense. If you’ve watched The Beverly Hillbillies movie 18 times like some people (*ahem*), you’ll remember the scene where Jethro has a 6-foot sub sandwich delivered. He and Big Mike would have a lot in common.

What else can we determine from these photos? There’s a shot of Sarah and Shaw (Yvonne Strahovski and Brandon Routh) in what appears to be a serious conversation on a screen that Director Zac is watching; Zac is one dedicated guy as blocks a scene as the director and learns his lines as an actor at the Buy More; Morgan is now Assistant Manager to Big Mike at the Buy More; and there were some fake (?) beauty pageant contestants on set. See all the photos in the Gallery. We’ve also added assorted set photos from episode 3.08, “Chuck vs. the Nose”, including one of Zac and Kristin Kreuk posing together.

Photo sources include: Ali Adler, Caitlin Crosby, Zachary Levi, Mark Christopher Lawrence

  1. Um. That doesn’t look like Kristen Kreuk…

  2. thx for the information and the photos;)

  3. Did Morgan get promoted? 🙂

    That looks like the asst. manager’s vest that Lester wore.

    • Which is why I wrote “Morgan is now Assistant Manager to Big Mike at the Buy More” in the post above. 😉

  4. I must have missed somthing
    is Chuck back at the but more now?

  5. Oooh! It would be cool if Lewis from the Drew Carey Show was on too and they played a couple of weird assassins like those two guys from that old Connery James Bond movie…Diamonds Are Forever maybe?

    • Yes, of the two goofballs on that show I liked Ryan Stiles as Lewis more. Wasn’t there an episode where he met a girl at a Sci Fi convention dressed up as an alien? How would that not be perfect for Chuck? Then again, he and Jeff might have too much of a creepiness factor when put together.

  6. Did anyone else notice that the fake pageant contestants were Miss Canada, Miss Argentina and Miss Understood?

    My vote is for Miss Understood.

  7. does anyone know how many episodes brandon routh and kristin are supposed to guest star in?

  8. Yup that’s KK.

  9. I wish kristen would be in as much episodes as Brandon routh is in, i really h8 seeing chuck get jealous(lyk he did when cole barker was there), reason being is that chuck has made so obvios to sarah that he lyk her, but she hardly ever gives any reassurance back.
