Fahim Anwar, the actor who played Manoosh in “Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler”, posted a lovely account of his experience filming the episode on his blog:
One day I came on set and found out I’d be doing kung fu training for 4 hours with the stunt coordinator for the show. Ummm, awesome. We ran through my scene over and over all the while there was a WB visitor tour consisting of a bunch of French vacationers watching our choreographed fight scene unbeknownst to me. After my final kick, I hear thunderous applause, which was instantly embarrassing. I also had a stunt double on the show. I know, this experience is truly ridiculous. Really cool guy, Holland Diaz. He was Toby Maguire’s stunt double in Spiderman which basically makes me an A-List actor as well. You’re only as good as who your stuntmen have stunted for.
