  1. So glad you posted this. Thank you!

  2. Rowrrr Zach, you are looking FINE dude. 🙂 Thanks Mel.

  3. Absolutely charming! Seems to be playing the same character type as Chuck more or less, which is good enough for me. Maybe that’s just his acting style, and he never wanders too far from it. Good chemistry with the female lead. In fact he seems to have good chemistry with all the women he plays opposite; Sarah, Hannah, Lou. Since the Sarah-Shaw and Sarah-Cole Barker pairings didn’t yield much by way of chemistry, I’ll have to conclude that the Chuck-Sarah chemistry is, despite Strahovski’s astounding acting chops, largely the product of Levi’s ability to play well off of the actress with whom he’s paired.

    • Actually I thought there was pretty good chemistry with Sarah except for Shaw because Routh didn’t have chemistry with anyone. Also all of Sarah’s potential lovers were put there as an obstacle for Chuck not for the growth of the character. Everything was being told from the perspective of Chuck. In fact expect for one instance Chuck witnessed every kiss Sarah had with another man. The lack of chemistry was because the writers didn’t take any time to set PLIs properly. One second Sarah can’t stand them in the next second she is making out.

    • I agree, Bob. Zachary Levi connects well with anyone he’s playing opposite of…you obviously notice it the most with him and female leads, but he has a great buddy type connection/chemistry with all the guys he acts with as well. He’s just a personable person and actor, and it shows, I think.

    • It’s kinda like watching Chuck with a beard (no pun intended) and a different wardrobe. But it is still fun. I think he might be typecast, because he is such a likeable guy in real life. And the chemistry is also strong, but because of him, not the girl. I thought she was rather bland.

      • I think that we’re on the same page here, Cat. Zac seems to be the one who drives the chemistry in all the pairings I mentioned, regardless of whether he is opposite a blank slate like the girl in this clip or an electrifier like Strahovski.

  4. Wow, he is such a good actor. Even in this little short film, he totally grabbed me and pulled me into the story. Nice, job, Zac!

  5. That was awesome!

  6. Zac’s soul is cheeky.

    And that was really very good 🙂

  7. Wow that was really awesome. Zac is always a treat to watch, no matter what he is doing. I really liked the story too, kudos to Joel David Moore.
