The other night I was filming for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles creator Kevin Eastman at his signing event in Meltdown Comics on Sunset Boulevard. I was able to have a follow up conversation with Shoot 'Em Up writer and director, Michael Davis, about what I've been up to since our first meeting on the set of Agent 88, a film by Digger T. Mesch, and his reaction surprised me.
I told him that I was about to interview the cast of NBC's Chuck.
He is a fan of the show and had a lot of nice things to say about Zachary Levi. Michael was wondering why we haven't seen him as a lead in more movies and I've heard the same thing all over the social media sites. He also said that he hopes Levi picks his next roll coming up carefully. Zachary Levi has shown characteristics of James Bond, Jerry Lewis, Han Solo, and Sam Malone in his roll on Chuck. We both agreed that we think that will change with the opening up of his schedule. I think those opportunities will be right around the corner and down the road we will see Zachary Levi in more movie roles. He is a charismatic actor and has proven to be a class act to his fans and helped many children through his charity works. He is an extremely nice guy and deserves all the success in the world.
Though Andrew Greenbury, editor of Agent 88, and I did forget to ask Michael Davis if Shoot 'Em Up was based on Elmer Fudd and Bugs Bunny? He took off before we got around to asking him. I'll keep that on my to do list.
Chuck wraps up shooting next week on the final season and the fans are already screaming for a Chuck movie or reunion show down the road; and all this before Chuck has even returned from hiatus. The tweets from cast members describe the set as very emotional in these final days and the twitter followers are no different. Chuck has been one my favorite shows over the years and am sad to see it end, but excited to see what new projects Zachary Levi, Yvonne Strahovski, Joshua Gomez, Adam Baldwin, Mark Christopher Lawrence, Sarah Lancaster, Ryan McPartlin, Scott Krinsky, and Vik Sahay land next.
I look forward to asking some of the great question coming in from Twitter to the cast on Tuesday's #GoodByeChuck Press Day and love has been pouring in for the cast and crew of Chuck. Here is some of that love.
