Josh Schwartz, executive-producer:
"We're always looking for guest stars who will be great in the part, but who also speak to our audience and feel like it comes out of the universe of our show. If Chuck and Morgan were watching Chuck, they would be excited about Linda coming on board. Obviously her body of work was important to us, but also knowing what this part was and the intensity that we were going to need from someone, Linda was a natural fit. She'll be [kicking ass] right out of the gate."Chris Fedak, executive producer:
"The mystery surrounding Chuck's mom is at the heart of the season, and there are going to be some shocking surprises in the first episode,” previews Fedak. “By the end of the episode we are going to turn everything on its head with regard to who she is."
"Chuck was certainly a Terminator fan, and Morgan was a Beauty & The Beast fan."How do you feel about this piece of casting? I'm quite excited. I don't personally think Hamilton's the best choice of those rumoured, from an acting standpoint, but she undoubtedly has ample geek cred. Plus, she's physically plausible as a relation of Zachary Levi (if not as perfect as Scott Bakula was as his father -- seriously, rewatch Quantum Leap, it's like someone sent Levi back in time!)
