Yvonne Strahovski Talks Stateless, Chuck, Dexter and More - Collider Ladies Night

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

*_What's your favorite Yvonne Strahovski role? Appreciation thread below!_*

[@linkaran512]

Sarah Walker. Chuck is such a great show

[@Fillmore.Pockets]

Favorite Yvonne Strahovski role is Daenerys Targaryen in "The Princess Rap Battle"! Kidding but she did rock the mic better than most of the other princesses (worth a look on KZbin). The Predator is my personal favorite movie with Yvonne in it and she legit stole every scene she was in. Her best role is Serena (wicked AF) in Handmaids Tale!

[@A82-y3k]

Serena in The Handmaid's Tale is my favorite role of Yvonne's while I think her best is Sofie in Stateless. I thought she was great in Chuck but she keeps outdoing herself every time. I hope she bags even bigger projects with bigger exposure and gets the proper recognition she deserves SOON.

[@clarahuet8391]

Sarah Walker obviously but she is incredible in everything, my role model

[@kinshuagarwal2483]

Sarah Walker 😍

[@Brook11223]

For me it's always going to NBC's Chuck because that was her breakout role. Her chemistry with Zachary Levi was perfect and Adam Baldwin who played John Casey was another nice addition who balance seriousness, action so well. One thing I loved about the show is the Superman connection it had with Matt Bomer who played Bryce Larkin voiced Superman in Superman: Unbound, Brandon Routh played a rival spy who wanted the human intersect program, Kristen Kruek who played Lana Lang in Smallville portrayed Chuck's love interest for like 4 episodes, Adam Baldwin who voiced Superman in Superman: Doomsday. I even enjoyed the Rocky IV connection with Dolph Lundgren guest starring playing a agent working for a rogue organization and using the famous line from Rocky IV "If he dies, he dies...Even the terminator connection with Linda Hamilton playing Chuck's mom who was a spy like her husband portrayed by Scott Bakula from Quantum Leap. Even the James Bond connection with Timothy Dalton, Star Wars with Mark Hamill and the list just goes on. This show is the precursor to the geek culture and in my opinion kind of started it all.

[@calvinjim8829]

Always loved her in Chuck. I re-watch Chuck every now and then (esp Season 1-2 when it was at its best). Still fantastic show.

[@thebops4180]

Me too. She was so gorgeous in that series!

[@rytterl]

Aaah. Sarah. The most gorgeous woman in the world.

[@sonnywolf383]

I watched all her shows Chuck, Dexter bla bla bla..............lol

[@buddysally886]

She’s still so hot 🥵

[@aldunlop4622]

I had never heard of Chuck, just stumbled onto it the other day and binged the whole thing. Yvonne was fantastic, instantly likeable, super hot, and a kick ass super spy. She’s from my hometown Sydney so really proud of her. Love you Yvonne! Funny I’ve just been watching old Full Frontal and Comedy Company.

[@KC-yg1py]

Great interview. She comes across very well. I was particularly impressed with how she handled the question about her filmography, about "not getting roles deserving of [her] skill set." She seems so grounded. I also feel like she is one of those actors who perform not for recognition or fame but primarily for the craft. Her television resume is pretty tight, but I do wish she would get more high-profile roles and recognition. She deserves it.

[@mikereyes2488]

When I first herd they were going to make a Ms Marvel/Captain Marvel movie I thought they should've picked her

[@richardlitchfield1387]

Absolutely! No shade against Brie Larson, but I think Yvonne would have brought a better physicality to the role.

[@joubinha333]

Richard Litchfield absolutely... she’s far more likable as well

[@theexiled3034]

She was my number 1 choice as well.

[@aldunlop4622]

She would’ve been perfect, much better than Brie.

[@allthingsservethebeam4668]

Hannah McKay will always be my favorite. She "made" Dexter more complete.

[@A82-y3k]

Thank you for this interview, Perri! Great questions and I loved hearing her responses as she is so insightful. I appreciated your review of Stateless as well. It is a great show that should not be judged prematurely. So complex!

[@HollyCranfan]

I love how Yvonne talks about being a normal teen. Kids need to know that acne is part of growing up and I believe she’s very beautiful naturally. Doesn’t need much makeup as she’s done in stateless and Handmaid’s tale. She has said she was a tomboy growing up and on comic con panels she’s done shows her as she really is. Funny and down to earth. I wish her much success. She’s got a movie with Chris Pratt coming out. Tomorrow’s war. Still want that chuck movie for Sarah Walker to get her memory back.

[@themeltedchocolate]

Great actress, interesting questions, an interviewer who seems genuinely interested in their interviewee, loved this!

[@mstew8501]

This was an absolutely fantastic interview! Very insightful questions and responses from both Perri and Yvonne. Thank you for posting this.

[@MrAndy12878]

Another grand slam interview, & she's multi talented. She blends into parts so well, I hope she's getting more juicy offers.

[@JJGaming2010]

I will always remember her as Miranda Lawson for the mass effect series. If they ever make a live-action series of it, bring her in!

[@angelabrown6980]

This was a great interview. Your energy was great!

[@G00N3R7883]

I play lots of video games so my introduction to Yvonne Strahovski was the Mass Effect series as Miranda, she was one of my favourite characters in large part because of Yvonne's amazing voice acting. I'm not a big comedy fan so I ignored Chuck until the day I found out she was in that show and then I was like "okay, now I have to go back and watch this", ended up really enjoying it :)

[@Fillmore.Pockets]

Awesome interview! Definitely have to checkout Stateless, sounds like a great conversation piece and I totally missed it's release rollout. Not sure how this is my first time hearing about it. Thanks Perri, Yvonne, and Collider Ladies Night!

[@PerriNemiroff]

So glad you enjoyed the interview! And really, can't recommend Stateless enough!

[@GregCimilluca]

Is it just me or do these "remote" interviews seem to go better? I feel like collider folks always do a great job and are enjoyable, but the celebs just seem to be far more giving/dialed in. Likely because they can't go anywhere etc, but this and some others recently have been fantastic+.

[@Fillmore.Pockets]

I've been wondering the same thing. I was thinking its because Collider, the celebs, and even us at home have gotten so comfortable seeing/talking to people on Zoom/Face Time apps that interviews performed this way seem more intimate and less formal?

[@GregCimilluca]

@@Fillmore.Pockets I definitely think that has a lot to do with it. I didn't recognize it at first but the more I have watched the more I have seen it. I hope it stays when the world returns to us, as we return to it.

[@Fillmore.Pockets]

@@GregCimilluca I'm with you! Well put. And the background/locations everyone decides to film in front of during these Corona interviews tell a story of their own. I'll miss it if it doesn't carry forward in some capacity.

[@derekwood5086]

Serena Joy on "The Handmaid's Tale" or Hannah McKay on "Dexter." Yes, she's great on Chuck - but it wasn't a particularly difficult role. Serena Joy and Hannah are two of the most complex characters we've seen onscreen in the last 10 years. A lesser actress would have made both characters unsympathetic. Her ability to evoke sympathy and nuance in both characters is astounding. Just knocks it out of the park.

[@joubinha333]

She’s my favorite because of that reason

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

Tbh being likeable and evoking emotion is never just easy, so a lesser actress wouldn't have done as well a Sarah as she did either. That kind of tangible chemistry doesn't come from nothing.

[@XMrJust]

I just watched 24 season 9 and now she's here

[@VagnerJS82]

My favorite actress, she is brilliant! 🙂

[@zxcytdfxy256]

Chuck is the best show ever.

[@bluesquirrel2472]

Totally agree

[@ch3rryb618]

My dream is a film or a series of the Mass Effect trilogy with her acting as Miranda... I just watched stateless, saw her in dexter and I can say that she's absolutely talented 😊

[@zoomedits1836]

lol if you only watched chuck best show to ever exist and shes fabulous in the show

[@robparadise6099]

HOW in the world was there not a season 6 of Chuck or why hasn't movie been made?

[@femtoservants]

SOmetime it's better that series gets their ending, either they end with a good conclusion or they continue long enough to become a cash grab. Chuck had a great ending and us fans were lucky that we got one.

[@HollyCranfan]

I agree. They need to have Sarah get her memory back. She said she’s game to do it. She talked fondly of Chuck here. They are like family.

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

Family reunion? Yes. Just picking up where they left off? I'd rather not. Or just a retcon, no way. I'd rather have them explain how she slowly got her memory back while falling in love all over again and now it's several years later and an external actor threatens them so they get back in the game.

[@buddysally886]

2022 🤞🤞

[@bacik847]

​@@femtoservants disagree very much, the ending was quite shit imo, would love a movie to get closure and not end in ambiguity

[@epicon6]

She was amaaaaazing in Dexter. I really loved the ending of Dexter by the way

[@zoomedits1836]

Hmm have you seen chuck? I think its the best show, she was good in dexter aswell

[@yeskiii]

Always will be Sarah Walker for me. I feel its been so long now but still would be real excited about a Chuck movie

[@ArielMayer96]

Sarah from Chuck! Yay!

[@A82-y3k]

Hi Perri! Not sure if you'd see this. Stateless swept the AACTA Awards including a Best Lead Actress win for Yvonne. As an industry voter, do you think Stateless has a chance to get some recognition in Hollywood, especially for Yvonne and Fayssal? Thanks!

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

It's not just culture, it's how the mind works: easy to pronounce is "pleasant" (we call it fluent) to think of. Just like beautiful people come to mind more easily and get more recognition in return.

[@michelelandolfi1572]

Damn she really is like wine. In chick she was gergous but age really made her prettier

[@buddysally886]

Still amazing 😍

[@chalo3427]

she's so incredibly adorable xD

[@thedarkknight2221]

To me she will always be Miranda Lawson from Mass Effect. She should’ve gotten a bigger part in ME3!!

[@ahmadjazlan]

Mod

[@clsrocks007]

Stateless was dope! Hannah mc kay rules

[@abigailrosehouck4136]

She read me on the Dexter ending part. I was hoping that there was going to be a really bloody scene at the end and that is what I wanted.

[@dubai9169]

she's amazing

[@buddysally886]

😍

[@shepardb3867]

miranda lawson..I'm an excellent judge of character. I think you'll find my assessments to be right on the money

[@CarlosCoelho-o7j]

Ivone the Best brasil

[@Lightner445555555555]

She's the same age as me!! I know it's strange. But I love it when beautiful women are the same ages as me.

[@Roxy377]

title have chuck ,video not too old .... i click

[@RConn55]

I don’t even like collider anymore I’m here strictly for Sarah Walker 😍

[@susanaastorquiza6645]

I do... Always Sarah Walker

[@soniaw5771]

33:30 Its not fine to me of you not being casted commonly in quality feature films. I know you could be much more than you are right now. I know the paths are getting muddy but the Oscars are only for film actors. Yes you deserve that much!

[@susanaastorquiza6645]

So cool this... But never see other season by chuck... For zacharylevi

[@flaggerify]

I think changing her name was a good move. Schwarzenegger is spelt phonetically.

[@angelabrown6980]

I have sympathy for Selena Joy. I love Selena more than June. A hallmark of a good acting is when you still love a despicable character.

[@soniaw5771]

same here!

[@BillKill2011]

Iwona Strzechowska.

[@buddysally886]

Sarah’s still so hot 🥵

[@calvinsmith5429]

Weird she leaves one cult (stateless) then goes to galiad?(Handmaid's tale) little stop in nerd hqtrs 4got Craig Ferguson also Dexter

[@AnonYmous-qi9rb]

I love Yvonne Strahovski so much that I stopped watching Chuck after the directors decided to get her kissed by any and every dude other than Chuck. It broke my heart. I'm perfectly okay with Dexter though.

[@UpsideDownCanoe]

o.0

[@HollyCranfan]

Every show has to have drama and strife to get to appreciate the next level. Mid season 3 chuck and Sarah got together and it was only her love of chuck. So you missed out on their love and marriage apparently.

[@Hosenanzugtasche]

You missed a lot then

[@westiniroh5406]

Miranda(!)!(!)(!)🤯

[@stifler12333]

Because its a white main ensemble, its show sucks ? Stupid title to use for this interview, your jus creating a large thumb down ratio and negative comment impact.

[@ColliderLadiesNight]

The series is about the refugee crisis but has garnered some criticism for being told through the lens of a white Australian refugee (though her character is based on a real person). Yvonne addresses this in this episode, but we've updated the title of this video - clearly some people were a little too quick to judge without actually watching the interview. Hope you enjoy the conversation!

[@stifler12333]

@@ColliderLadiesNight These days it will always get criticism is something stars a white protagonist, nothing surprising there. I have seen the full video, i got the discussion, but changing the title in this instant is a good idea, just for the sake of you guys, nothing else.

[@user-ib5fi4rr4p]

why is this video so political, wow she changed a lot
