Zachary Levi’s memorable moments on Chuck & tears

Zachary Levi, “Chuck Bartowski”

“I love that the people who have played my parents in the show have both kind of been — you know, Linda [Hamilton] is like a mom on set, Scott [Bakula] was like a dad on set. He and I had a lot in common. He imparted a lot of wisdom to me. His journey on Quantum Leap was similar to mine here, in that it was like all day, every day, go, go, go, crazy hours… In the pilot [I remember] McG yelling for me and Josh… I brought my Xbox and ‘Gears of War,’ which had just come out, the original, and I had hooked it up to a flat-screen in our store, and we were just sitting there playing between takes, and constantly McG going, ‘Guys! I need you! Come on!’ And pause it, run back, and then go and play some more. That pilot was just a really magical time. It’s crazy to think that it’s been five years since we did that. And yet at the same time, it’s like any memory like that: It seems like it was yesterday, and it seems like it was a lifetime ago.”

“Sarah Lancaster and I, we were filming the last scene that we will ever shoot in the Awesomes’ apartment and we couldn’t even get through rehearsal. We started saying our lines and just started crying. It was really nutty, you know? Sarah’s been my sister for five years and I wouldn’t, couldn’t possibly have cast anyone else in that role… just so lovely and so talented and gorgeous and all of that. It’s weird being attracted to your sister, first and foremost, that’s strange. Secondly, we have been very brother-and-sister and supportive. Watching her live life and find the man of her dreams and get married and have a baby, on screen and off, it’s incredible. So to be standing there and saying goodbye, that stuff really gets you. And I can’t imagine if it’s hitting us that hard, I can only assume and hope that the fans, as they’re watching the finale, the two-hour special, are gonna feel the same way. It’s good. It’s cathartic. It’s therapeutic. It’s not necessarily tears of joy, but it’s tears of love.”
