Are you a Chuck fan? If so,
then your show has just upped it’s Panamanian hotness factor…for three
episodes, at least. NBC’s has tapped Jordana Brewster to play
Chuck’s (Zachary Levi’s) infamous college girlfriend, Jill. (Not sure who Brewster
is? Yeah, us either: turns out she’s attractive, was born in Panama, went to
Catholic school…and starred in a little something called The Fast and the Furious. Oh, yeah, and once upon a time she had
been set to play Mrs. Smith, as in Mr. and Mrs. Smith go to the small
screen. What would Angie have said?)
Jill is the "mythic college
girlfriend who broke Chuck's heart, slept with his best friend Bryce
Larkin, and is basically responsible for setting his life crashing off course
and landing him at the Nerd Herd," executive producer Josh Schwartz told EW.com.
"He always has imagined seeing her again, and being able to impress her
with all he's accomplished. Unfortunately, when he does meet her, he's doing a
computer install and she's a brilliant, successful, beautiful doctor working to
create antibodies to horrible diseases.
"The part is funny,
romantic, there's action and cool twists and emotional drama," Schwartz
continues. "It's the juiciest arc we've done yet and one that ties very
deeply into the mythology of the show and the character of Chuck."
Hopefully it’ll light a
spark for the ol’ series, which was cooling quickly, last time we checked…
