John Laroquette: Love him to. Maybe it would be interesting to pair up his character with Cake’s.

Gary Cole: I always remember him from Talladega nights “If you ain’t first, you’re last.” (and later refering to it “Was i high when i said that?!”

Armand Assante: I’m glad he’s coming back in 4th season

Matthew Bomer: He was okay, with that Chuck affection and the feelings towards Sarah. I would choose him anytime over Brandon. To bad they killed him (again). It would be too much for Bryce to come back from the dead (again).

Definately add Jordana Brewster, Gary Cole, Chevy Chase, Jonathan Cake, Kristen Kruek, and Rachael Bilson.

I hope Clare Carey and McKenna Melvin get recurring roles, now that love of country is out.

Geeeeee I wonder what is wrong with that. I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or serious…I’m hoping for the first. I saw a funny picture: The Emotions of Agent Shaw. (All the same pictures). I don’t mean to bash Routh, but A) His character is completely unlikeable and B) He doesn’t help because you can never tell if his emotionless face is due to the script or the terrible acting. Enough with the Shaw bashing, here’s my list.

1. Chevy Chase as Ted Roark
2. Scott Bakula as Stephen Bartowski
3. John Laroquette as Roan Montgomery
4. Mini Anden as Carina
5. Matt Bomer as Bryce Larkin

Seriously, I love all of these guest stars. Everytime I see Routh it makes me wish for Bomer…he was such a good actor! But I think this list accurately covers almost all my favorites…too many more though!

2. Chevy Chase – he gave us a great recurring villian, brilliantly menacing and humourous at the same time. His scenes in Chuck vs. The Ring were perfectly portrayed, raising the stakes at Ellie’s wedding while at the same time giving us a few laughs (40 mins tops… traffic…)

3. Michael Clarke Duncan – Not too much impact on the series as a whole but the season 2 opener is one of my favourite episodes. He got to pull off some killer lines (i was going for imposing…) and had an excellant fight with Sarah. Very good guest villian.

4. Jordana Brewster – She had a really, really difficult role to pull off in her 4 episodes but she pulled it off. Makes it onto the list because Jill is so central to the mythos of Chuck and in less capable hands the Jill character arc would have fallen flat.

5. Her name escapes me but whoever played Lou (chuck’s girl in 2 season 1 episodes). She was the first temp love interest for Chuck and was quirky enough for me to enjoy her short time on the show. If she’d stuck around longer i would probably have tired of her though.

Matthew Bomer doesn’t make the list because I just class him as a recurring star, not a guest (otherwise he’d be on the list)
Nobody from series 3 is on as the season is still going and i haven’t had enough rewatched to be able to judge from them yet. (though in a similar vein i consider Shaw and Beckman part of the main cast too given how many episodes they are in)

I second that motion, I LOVED manoosh, ted roark, roan montgomery, AND orion, that was good stuff :]
