After five seasons playing nerd-turned-hero Chuck Bartowski, Zachary Levi started out 2012 with a round of press for the series finale<\/a>, then a well-deserved vacation. In February he signed on to star<\/a> in the pilot for a FOX sitcom, Let It Go<\/strong>, after fielding several offers for other projects. FOX ultimately passed on the pilot, which allowed Zac to take on the role of Frandral the Dashing in Thor 2<\/strong><\/a> in June (the blond hair in some of the photos below are for this role).<\/p>\n In addition to those projects, Zac lent his voice to Tangled Ever After<\/strong><\/a>, an animated short depicting the wedding of Flynn Rider and Rapunzel; voiced several characters in an episode of Robot Chicken<\/strong>; was a guest on The Talking Dead<\/strong><\/a>; and appeared in the web series Video Game High School<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking of video games, he appeared at this year’s VGA’s<\/a> along with other previous hosts of the award show and hosted a series of behind-the-scenes videos<\/a> for the new Tomb Raider game, [easyazon-link asin=”B004FS8LYK”]Tomb Raider: The Final Hours Edition<\/strong>[\/easyazon-link]. Zac was also a guest at the People’s Choice Awards, Betty White’s 90th Birthday Celebration, the Golden Globes, the Gracie Awards, and the Teen Choice Awards.<\/p>\n Keeping his live action chops honed, Zac participated in several episodes of The Thrilling Adventure Hour<\/strong><\/a>, a monthly staged production in the style of old-time radio, and the annual benefit A Night At Sardi’s<\/a>. And, of course, he brought Nerd HQ back to San Diego<\/a> for a second successful year, and staged a Chuck<\/strong> reunion<\/a>, as The Nerd Machine<\/a> continued to expand (and co-starred in a web series<\/a> to promote Nerd HQ).<\/p>\n Zac also spent a couple of hours in April talking with Kevin Pollak on The Kevin Pollak Chat Show<\/strong><\/a>, a must watch for anyone who is a fan of this guy, and was a cover story for BELLO magazine<\/a> (you can read it via their app). Zac also continued his support of Operation Smile<\/a> and the LA Mission<\/a>\u00a0throughout the year.<\/p>\n What will Zac do in 2013? Follow him on Twitter<\/a> to find out!<\/p>\n
