CHUCK Spoilers: [SPOILER ALERT] to Play Chuck’s Mom
July 24, 2010 by Kath Skerry
Breaking news from CHUCK…
Mommy dearest has been cast. Want to know who it is?
CHUCK creators/executive producers Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak annouced today that sci-fi icon Linda Hamilton (the “Terminator” films) will join the series as a recurring guest star in season four, playing the role of Mary Bartowski, the long-missing mother of Chuck (series star Zachary Levi) and Ellie.
CHUCK fans have long wondered about the circumstances surrounding Chuck and Ellie’s mysterious mother, Mary Bartowski, who disappeared from her children’s lives when they were still young. And now it seems we will get some answers.
Hamilton will appear throughout the season, leading Chuck to discover that her life was shrouded in secrets. She was a spy, a CIA agent … and that’s just the beginning. Who is she today? One thing is certain: She’s not the soccer mom who left her children so many years ago.
So how did this come about? It seems Linda Hamilton heard that people wanted her to be Chuck’s mom and asked TPTB about it. Way to make things happen in La La Land. Um, hey TPTB, I’d like to play a spy that has to go undercover and make out with Chuck Bartowski. Can you get on that?
We also learned during the CHUCK panel at Comic Con, that the search for Chuck’s mom will play a big role in Season 4 AND that it will have an impact both on the Chuck’s relationship with the Buy More and Sarah.
We will see our first glimpse of Linda in the first episode of Season 4 on September 4th.
Wow…I’ve speculated a lot about who they would bring in to play Mary, but I don’t think Linda Hamilton ever crossed my mind. Hello…fantastic!
Are you excited about Linda Hamilton joining the show? Excited to see how this plays out?
