The Hollywood Reporter is recapping the winners and losers of Comic Con and plants Zachary Levi firmly in the “winner” category:
Zackary Levi The Chuck star used the launch of his show’s final season as an opportunity to pitch for charity at his Nerd HQ a few blocks from the convention center. The actor organized access to yet-unreleased video games as well as “Conversation for a Cause” panels that raised $25,000 in donations for Operation Smile in the first two days alone. “I think we’ll do it again,” Levi told THR. “It’s been really successful.”
Way to go, Nerds!
Update: Per Operation Smile, the final tally raised was $40,000!
Just another example of an actor, who we all appreciate, who is more focused on others than he is himself.
Points for trying, I suppose. But between misspelling his name and citing the incorrect amount raised, I’m not really impressed with THR.
That number was the amount raised in the first two days, as noted in the article. I’ve updated with the final tally from Operation Smile. Awesome!
