Joshua & Zac Talk About Season 2

Joshua Gomez and Zachary Levi were part of a conference call with a variety of bloggers recently where they talked about season 2, working together, comic books and more! Here’s an excerpt from MovieJungle.com:

Question:

What do you guys like about working with each other?

Josh Gomez:

Zach, you want to start off how wonderful it is to work with me?

Zachary Levi:

You know, I wish there was something I could say to that but he’s really just a horrible person. No, you know, honestly yeah, from day one when I first met Josh I had been cast in the part of Chuck – no, I was cast as Casey and then they thought no, you’re really not – you’re not tough enough.

No they casted me in the role of Chuck and then they had me come in and do chemistry reads and audition – in the auditioning process with various other characters.

And Morgan was one of them and so I got the privilege to meet Josh before he got the role. And the first time we ever read together immediately there was a really great chemistry. We have very similar comedic styles.

And he’s just an all around great dude and so they – I – you know, the – Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak, and McG, and the powers that be saw that I think in the room and Josh got the role, as he should have.

And then right after that we were sitting around just kind of, you know, talking about life, getting to know one another and immediately we came to the realization that we’re both avid and rabid videogame players.

And so because of that and because both Chuck and Morgan are avid videogame players in our fictitious world, we hit it off, you know, like peas and carrots I suppose, and to quote the genius, Forrest Gump.

Josh Gomez:

Yeah, ditto to what he said and I – it’s definitely – the chemistry you see is – on camera is natural and it’s for real, and it’s kind of what happens off camera as well.

And yeah I mean, I just – it’s just a pleasure and I’ve said it before but I think that for me I think that like, not only was I lucky enough to get this gig and to get this – and then to have the show go on the air and then have it picked up, and have people like it and actually be a good show.

I’m lucky enough to have the guy – they head guy be Zach – you know, our number one on the show be Zach because again — and I said it again and again — it’s just like the guy should teach a class in Hollywood on how to treat people on a set and how to conduct themselves and how to just make everybody feel like a family and welcome.

And so I just – it’s just a pleasure everyday and I may start to cry so I’m going to cut it there.
