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

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed and follow us on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!

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

Joshua Gomez & Zachary Levi: The Comic Con Interview

Whose beard would win in a fight? What’s up with Anna and Morgan? Will the bromance live in season 3? Will Chuck ever get a gun? Hear what Joshua Gomez and Zachary Levi had to say when we interviewed them at Comic Con.

P.S. “Carmichael & Grimes”? I expect royalties for that idea!

VIDEO: The Chuck Comic Con Panel

NBC has posted the Chuck panel from Comic Con 2009, minus the JEFFSTER! performance (licensing issues). This video will only work the U.S., so apologies to overseas fans for that.

Grab a beverage and a snack, and settle in to watch. If you want the true Comic Con experience, go stand outside for two hours, starting about 2 blocks down the street, and slowly walk to your house. When you get to your front door, let out a cheer and walk quickly (but don’t run!) to your computer, jostling imaginary people on the way to make sure you get the best seat.

PHOTOS: Chuck at Comic Con

While we sort out our own photos from Chuck at Comic Con, the professionals have been getting theirs up on Wireimage for us to view. A handful of photos from the panel are up, plus some from the Wired and EW/Syfy parties. If you have photos you’d like to share, send them to mel@chucktv.net along with how you’d like to be credited.

VIDEO: Zac & Josh at the Saturn Awards

Frosty from Collider caught up with Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez on the red carpet at last night’s Saturn Awards. They talk about facial hair, Comic Con, E3 and more:

Chuck vs. Comic Con: Details Announced

With only a month to go until Comic Con, Warner Bros. has released some details about the Chuck panel. Here’s what we know so far: the Chuck panel will happen on Saturday, July 25, most likely at 10AM in Ballroom 20. Confirmed attending are Josh Schwartz, Chris Fedak, Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Ryan McPartlin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, Julia Ling, Sarah Lancaster and Adam Baldwin. We’ll see a retrospective highlight reel (nothing from season 3 since they won’t have begun filming yet) plus “a special surprise from some of your favorite characters!” Can you say Jeffster concert?!? Also, Chuck cheerleader Alan Sepinwall will be moderating the panel, so you know it’s going to be extra awesome.

Liz, siskj and I will be there covering the Chuck-ness live. We plan to organize some sort of get-together for Chuck fans as well, possibly Saturday night. If you’ll be at Comic Con and are interested, leave a comment so we can get a feel for how many people want to meet.

Josh Gomez on Filmnut

Josh Gomez was the guest last night on Filmnut. In addition to a lot of laughs, they covered a lot material, Chuck related and otherwise, including the process of getting a third season of Chuck, how he broke into acting, the audition process for Chuck and how he and Zachary Levi did their own improvisation for it. His season on Without a Trace. His stint as a judge on The Last Comic Standing. They also got into his voiceover work on some of the video games he has done and he even gives out his handle during the interview! But the best conversation may have been about the awesomeness of his beard.

Enjoy almost an hour of Josh Gomez on Filmnut here.
