Chuck Stars Reminisce On 91 Episodes

We’ve just passed the three-year anniversary of the final episode of Chuck, and to honor the occasion, Victoria Nelli at The TV Addict interviewed Chuck stars Joshua Gomez, Ryan McPartlin, Vik Sahay, Scott Krinsky, and Mekenna Melvin about their memories of the show.

What was your favorite Chuck episode? 
Vik Sahay: I have to say the birth of Jeffster in “Chuck VS The Best Friend,” because of all that it wrought. It brought the band out of the garage and into the world.  How many people have these secret creative lives that never see the light of day? The whole thing was like a fantasy of what could happen if those parts of us were unleashed.

Joshua Gomez: This is always an interesting question because I probably view episodes with a different criteria than a fan may. For me, I recall certain memories or episodes that were particularly fun to make. “Chuck VS The Beard” was really exciting.  Zac  (Levi) was directing, and I was thrilled for Morgan to finally find out Chuck’s secret.  So many stand out to me.  Shooting the Pilot was magical, “Chuck VS The Honeymooners” and “Chuck VS The First Fight,” are a few more that come to mind.

Mekenna Melvin: I had a lot of fun doing “Chuck VS The Curse” with the pants box.  That was a really fun episode for me because I felt like it was one of the first episodes where I really got in on the spy stuff.  It was one of the first scenes where I got to hold a big gun. (laughs)

Scott Krinsky: When we got into Jeff’s background and his history those ones were always my favorite and the first time Jeffster performed, where we did “Africa.”  That one always kind of stays in my mind, and the Pilot, I still remember the first day showing up and shooting scenes with Vik, Zac, and McG our director.  I still vividly remember it and have great memories of that day.

Ryan McPartlin: The one that stands out is “Chuck VS Operation Awesome.” We all loved getting in on the spy action but what I miss most is the laughter and the tears in the Woodcomb/ Bartowski household. It was a pretty special place whether the cameras were rolling or not.
