Nice Boy of the Week: Zachary Levi

With this week’s breaking news that NBC has ordered 6 more episodes of Chuck followed by the season 2 DVD release date (finally!), we couldn’t resist making Zachary Levi our Nice Boy of the Week. How could we not recognize such a wonderfully talented (and quite cute!) Nice Boy like Zac?

Zac began his journey to Chuck at the tender age of six when he appeared on stage in the lead role in regional productions of Grease, The Outsiders, Oliver, The Wizard of Oz and Big River. From there he landed a supporting role in the FX television movie Big Shot: Confessions of a Campus Bookie. Zac is best remembered by some of us Nice Girls for his role as Kipp Steadman on Less Than Perfect, which ran for four seasons.

Zac’s television and film credits include See Jane Date, with Charisma Carpenter, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Big Momma’s House, Spiral, CTRL Z, and coming soon, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel. He’s also directing his first Chuck episode today for the third season.

In the summer of 2008, Zac was named one of Entertainment Weekly’s Top Thirty People Under Thirty. Nice Girls are big fans of Chuck and very big fans of Zachary Levi. His charming smile, laughing eyes and energetic sense of humor endear him to us and earn him a spot on our Nice Boys Wall of Fame.

New Web Series: In Gayle We Trust

If you aren’t enjoying this wonderful little jewel, you should be. In fact, I invite you to jump in now! You don’t need to have seen the show from the pilot episode to get into it. You will be as delighted as I have been.

The show’s synopsis is, nestled somewhere in the middle of America, Maple Grove is populated with a host of colorful characters, and they all turn to one person for insurance needs, counseling and much much more. Though an insurance agent by trade, Gayle Evans has become the default cure-all for the small town, as her pleasant disposition and sound advice has made her a go-to resource in the lives of her clients. From a newlywed couple seeking weekly marital advice, to a over-confident plumber trying to protect his coveted identity, to a traveling hypnotist needing liability coverage, Gayle’s clientele range from sympathetic to pathetic to outright bizarre. In Gayle We Trust, a 10-part comedy series from NBCU Digital Studio is written and directed by multiple Emmy-winner Brent Forrester (The Office, The Simpsons, King of the Hill).

This web series premiered on Sept. 15, and is enjoying a surge in popularity. In addition to the episodes, NBC Universal will be creating deep interactive experiences at www.InGayleWeTrust.com that will allow viewers to immerse themselves in online gaming and interactive maps tied directly to the series content.
