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

The lovely Darya Papazian, webmaster for www.cthomashowell.net, had the chance to visit the Chuck set in August and graciously offered to let us post her photos here at ChuckTV.net. Check out 60 pics from the Buy More, the courtyard, and the Bartowski’s appartment in the Gallery. Thanks, Darya!

IGN Visits the Set of ‘Chuck’

The guys at IGN got to take a trip behind the scenes of Chuck while they filmed part of this week’s episode. Check it out:

Standing in the courtyard of Chuck’s apartment building, it was impressive how realistic it felt (as long as you didn’t glance up and check out the soundstage ceiling of course). It’s hard to miss the big fountain in the center of the courtyard on the show, but there was also an incredibly impressive outdoor fireplace to the side of the courtyard. Also very impressive was the detail inside the apartment belonging to NSA agent Casey (Adam Baldwin), which is filled with flak jackets, helmets, knives and ammunition befitting his character’s sensibility. A visit to the adjacent soundstage included a tour of the Weinerlicious, where Sarah spends her days at a cover job. Also on that stage was Sarah’s hotel room, and rooms created for the hotel in “Chuck Versus the Tango.” Bullet holes could be seen across the walls from the heavy gunfire involved in that episode.

PHOTOS: Rachel Bilson Arrives on Set

Summer’s here! OK, not really. But Rachel Bilson is! She arrived on the set of Chuck yesterday to get started filming her multi-episode arc, and we have pictures! She doesn’t look pleased to see the cameras -  and we don’t blame her, really – but we’re sure excited to see her on the set! Check out the preview below and the whole set in the Gallery.
