Mo Ryan from the Chicago Tribune chats with local boy Ryan McPartlin in today’s column:
Do you have any indication about how knowing Chuck’s spy secret will change Awesome’s role in Season 3? Will the role change or grow?
To be honest, I don’t know how Awesome’s role will change in season 3. I love our writers and trust them completely. I feel like the role was a bit of comic relief to begin with and now look where Awesome’s at — juggling relationship highs and lows with Ellie, dealing with a little action and hanging at Buy More once in a while. So I have confidence that Awesome’s screen time will be significant no matter how much you actually see him.
Do you know if we expect to see more of Bruce Boxleitner and Morgan Fairchild as Mr. and Mrs. Awesome or any other Awesome friends or relations? What was it like working with Boxleitner and Fairchild as your “parents”?
Bruce and Morgan are amazing and I can only hope that we mine more of the family comedy that they bring to the show. Could you imagine if my brothers are more awesome than Captain Awesome? It might blow all of our minds and Ellie might have the best meltdown ever.
Do you know if there are children in the future for Awesome and Ellie? I hope if there is a third season, that there will be an Awesome baby.
That baby would probably come out of the womb ready to ride in the Tour de France. I think it would be hilarious. Can you imagine how fun it would be to see Ellie freak out from the pregnancy hormones and how much she would take it all out on Awesome? That would be the best. I just don’t know when it would come into play.
What would you like to see in Awesome’s future?
I’d like to see Awesome have to go to work in the Buy More for a while. That’s probably impossible, but you never know — I think I could whip those stooges into shape.
