Sonya Macari surprised everyone when she auditioned for a part on Chuck, using an Italian accent. The surprise came when they all realized she was actually Irish, the day she arrived on set after winning the part. “The lines I was given were Italian. They might not have noticed I was speaking Italian with an Irish accent,” she said.

Sonya Macari guest stars as Antonia in "Chuck vs. the Masquerade"

Sonya, a former model, has been auditioning in Hollywood for two years, looking for that one chance to break into American television. “As regards opening doors, getting a part on a show like this is huge. It’s the break I have been working towards these last few years,” said Macari. The thought that she considers Chuck so huge tickles me to no end!

Macari will play a sexy Italian spy, Antonia, in episode 4.16, “Chuck vs. the Masquerade”.

    An Irishwoman with the name Sonya Macari is in itself surprising enough. That she could do an Italian accent, perhaps less so.

    If this show has taught us anything it’s that you don’t have to use your natural speaking accent to be a top notch actress. Welcome Sonya!
