• Quotes

  "(Chuck) was the first pilot season I had done. I was actually auditioning from Australia, in Sydney, putting auditions on tape and sending them over as QuickTime [files]. Chuck was one of the [shows] I sent to, and they called me to say, "Come have a meeting with us." So I met with [executive producer/director] McG and [series creators] Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak, and they gave me the job."
