My favorite TV shows

Anything by JJ Abrams or Judd Apatow. And I love Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Is there a premiere party?

We are all headed to McG's house to watch the show together.

Why the name Chuck?

When we came up with the name for the character, there were no other "Chucks" out there; it felt like an everyman name and Chuck is an everyman and that kind of character is ubiquitious in the culture now so that's reflective of that and probably why you're seeing a lot of "Chucks." Plus, it's got a good hard "C" and "K" in there, which is funny, and I'm a fan of the writer Chuck Klosterman.

How long it takes to do a big stunt

There's a ton of action in the show and McG is really a master at that kind of stuff and did a great job with all the big action sequences. In the next episode, you'll see helicopter chases, car explosions and a lot of hand to hand combat. Yvonne has basically replaced her stunt double and is doing all of her own stunts. She's very into it, but I shouldn't tell anyone who insures the show.

How do you put a show together?

We have a big writer's room filled with lots of talented writers and we break our stories there. Each writer is assigned an outline which he or she goes off and writes. Then the writer is on set to produce the episode. We're like a big family and take ideas from everyone.

Supporting Cast

We spent a lot of time developing the supporting characters and searching for those actors. Those who watched The OC season 4 will recognize two of the nerd herders. And indeed, that is Mark Christopher Lawrence as Big Mike. He's great and you're going to see a lot more of him in the series.

It's a blast from the distant past. Yes... the 1980's.
