Awesome project news, if this is confirmed! According to Entertainment Weekly, Tricia Helfer has been cast as Special Agent Alex Forrest for one episode of the hit NBC comedy series, Chuck, a guest role which will reunite her with her Spiral co-star Zachary Levi. That’s fantastic, Tricia! From EW.com:
Piping hot Battlestar Galactica toaster Tricia Helfer has been cast on Chuck as Special Agent Alex Forrest, a by-the-book ass-kicker and — here’s where things get a little frakked up — a potential replacement for Yvonne Strahovski’s Sarah.
Here’s the deal: According to my Chuck mole, General Beckman — who has been growing increasingly concerned about Chuck and Sarah’s intensifying bond — considers bringing in a new G-woman to work alongside Chuck. Enter Agent Forrest, who shows no fear, no remorse and, much to Agent Casey’s delight, is very easy on the eyes.
But Helfer isn’t moving in on Strahovski’s turf permanently, is she? Actually…no, she’s not. Helfer’s only booked for one episode (No. 18), and Strahovski’s got, well, an ironclad six-year contract.
Her character sounds a lot like Burn Notice’s Carla, no? As always, we’ll keep you posted if anything new regarding this turns up, and of course, we’ll do our best to provide you with coverage of the episode. Stay tuned!
In other project news, we have an update on Tricia’s involvement in the indie film Hidden Crimes, which we reported of in mid-October. Here’s what we didn’t know until now:
According to the Internet Movie Database, the movie is a Canadian TV film and thriller directed and written by Philippe Gagnon and Randy Duniz respectively — both fairly unknown names in the entertainment industry. Co-stars include Jonathan Scarfe, James Gallanders and Kristen Holden-Ried. Tricia’s role is as of yet untitled. The film is currently slated for a 2009 Canadian release, and its status is set as “filming”, as of November 4 2008.
Please note that although IMDb lists Tricia’s involvement in the film as “rumored”, the news was confirmed by her official site already in October 2008.
