Yvonne’s Injury Not Serious

Sporting a bandaged wrist, Yvonne Strahovski explains her injury.

As soon as Yvonne Strahovski, the actress who plays Sarah Walker on the NBC series “Chuck,” walks onto the show’s set on the Warner Bros. lot, every eye is focused on her left wrist.

Strahovski is sporting a huge bandage. It covers most of her hand, her wrist and part of her forearm.

Production on the second season of the spy series has been at full tilt.

And in the show, Strahovski plays a spy who has to go undercover to protect Chuck (Zachary Levi), a member of the Nerd Herd at a massive electronics Buy More store.

Chuck has had volumes of government secrets implanted in his head.

The logical leap is the Australian actress hurt her hand while doing a stunt with a speeding car, crazed Ninja or in some form of hand-to- hand combat.

“This is just a pulled muscle in my wrist. It’s fine,” Strahovski says.

When pushed about what action sequence caused the injury, Strahovski smiles and adds, “It is from reaching into my handbag at an awkward angle.”

She laughs and then says that isn’t a great story, but it is the truth.

It is amazing she has not been hurt while filming the action-filled show.

In an episode to air later this year, Strahovski’s character gets into a battle royal with a nemesis from high school, played by Nicole Richie.

The fight occurs in a girls’ locker-room shower.

“Actually, that was really an easy scene to film,” Strahovski says. “Nicole has a dance background so her choreography skills were really great.”

The actress did get a little help from wardrobe.

Her character often has to fight while wearing an evening gown or in high heels.

That wardrobe is adjusted — skirts cut, heels shortened — to make it easier to move.

During the first season, Strahovski’s undercover job was at a hot dog stand. She changes jobs this year.

“I think the boys liked the hot- dog-stand wardrobe more than I did.

“I won’t tell you what the new job is, but I like the color scheme better,” Strahovski says.

The job change will be revealed when the second season of “Chuck” starts Sept. 29. ~ Source.

We’re just glad it’s nothing worse, Yvonne.
