Yvonne Talks Emmys and Phase Three
Emmy4Yvonne.com has an exclusive interview with Yvonne Strahovski talking about playing Sarah Walker, her exceptional performance in “Chuck vs. Phase Three”, and their Emmy campaign:
Episode 4.09 became a fan-favorite solely because of your powerful, emotionally charged performance. You revealed Sarah’s vulnerability and her utter devotion to Chuck, which are aspects of Sarah’s character never blatantly shown before. What was the most enjoyable part about exploring this unseen, emotional side of Sarah? What was the biggest challenge in conveying/depicting this unseen side?
“This episode, hands down, was certainly the most challenging because yes, it did ask me to push Sarah Walker to a completely new level. The thing that was extremely important to me, was making it clear that nothing mattered to Sarah Walker anymore. She didn’t care about ANYTHING except finding Chuck. She didn’t care what she had to lose, who she had to fight, or who she had to betray – nothing was more important then finding Chuck. The other aspect of the episode that was hugely important – was the scene where she finds him – the pay off – for all her hard work leading up to that point. I felt it had to match the extreme lengths that Sarah Walker had gone through, throughout the episode, and that’s why it was so emotional.
If I was going to say what was the most challenging? I would have to say it was the scene where I’m putting amonia in the needle and interrogating the Thai ambassador. Only because the director (Anton Cropper) and I wanted it to be a particular note – somewhere between chilling and determined and not caring about anything other then Chuck.
The most enjoyable? Definitely the fight scene! It took about 10 hours to shoot the fight scene in the pit and I had a blast every second. It’s for sure my favorite one so far.”
