Zachary Levi

The lights in the action, young Hollywood.

Hey Young Hollywood, it's Michelle Marie here with Zachary Levi, who is looking very dapper today with the beard. I like it.

Thank you very much. This is just, you know, kind of in rebellion. During the season, I have to shave every day and uh it's nice to give my face a break. So I'm just letting the beard go.

Last time we saw you was at your house, you were playing Rock Band. I wish I was there myself with you. That looks like a lot of fun. What happened? You failed.

I can't have failed. 86. Oh, hey, get out of my house. Get out of my house with that attitude and horrible game play.

Next time, next time.

Next time. Done, done, done.

Play a different game though, right?

We play a lot of mafia. I don't know if you know what mafia is, but it's like a role-playing game. It's kind of hard to explain, but basically it's like poker in the sense that you're just trying to tell if your friends are lying or not.

What do you have to lose? In a week, you're going to be undercover in some place like Jakarta in a knife fight with some evil doer. And in that exact moment, you're going to wish that you would have spent one last night of fun with me. Let's talk about Chuck, cuz obviously, it keeps going and going and going. How do you feel about the success that you've had with it?

Incredibly blessed. I hope that I get to continue to do what I do right now. I love doing it. I mean, it's a great town if you can get your foot in the door and you can start building a bit of a franchise of yourself, I guess. And I feel like I've been blessed enough to start doing that. So I just, I want to keep doing that and Chuck has been a great way to do that. The fans are dedicated and awesome and loyal fans.

Thank you.

We only exist because of them.

Well, you know what, Young Hollywood, we think that you are on the verge to emerge. And how do you see yourself, you're welcome. How do you see yourself in the next year or two? Where would you like to be?

I would just like to be continuing to make good entertainment. Stuff that people like, stuff that they're drawn to, stuff that moves them, move something in them, whether, you know, moves them to laughter or tears or whatever. You know, and branch out into writing and directing and producing more and making stuff that people like, you know. Making people laugh every single day.

Is there a character or a role that you would love to play that is so opposite of what you are right now as far as Chuck?

I want to play every role. I want to do every type of genre of film or television show, uh, you know, romantic comedies, comedies, buddy comedies, action, action adventure, adventure, sci-fi. I want to do everything. I mean, I

It's like the new Superman right here.

Yeah, I mean, exactly, exactly.

So if you were to pick an actor or career of a specific star, A-list actor that you would love to either emulate or, you know, you look up to, who do you really, really admire?

Tom Hanks, probably. Yeah. I appreciate him, uh, in what he's accomplished as an actor and as a producer and director. He seems like a a cool dude, you know. If I ever get the chance to pick his brain about, you know, the choices he made, I'd love to. Mel Gibson also, I feel like, you know, he's one of those guys that obviously started in this kind of action adventure world, but he's done incredible dramas and romantic comedies and, you know, anybody that just seems like a cool dude who, you know, is talented and likes to just spread out and do as much as they can, you know. Yeah.

Hey everybody, I'm Zachary Levi. And uh, this is Young Hollywood.

I am Young Hollywo- Well, I'm a part of Young Hollywood. This is this is all Young Hollywood.

Young, young Hollywood.

Young, young Hollywood.
