Big Mike Talks “Chuck” Season Three

Sunday night at 9 p.m. EST, the moment we’ve all been waiting for finally arrives–“Chuck” returns for its third season.

When last season ended, we saw Chuck get upgraded as the Intersect and Morgan leave the Buy More.  It appeared that the hi-jinks at the Buy More could be coming to an end.  However, that isn’t going to be the case according to actor Mark Christopher Lawrence who plays Big Mike on the show.

“Remember the last episode, the marlin was in the TV room when Big Mike sort of was demoted?” he asks SciFi Wire. “He gets sort of moved into the TV room, and that whole sort of mafioso, Marlon Brando thing that got lost somehow. The marlin was set up in the TV room. So it’s still there.”

Lawrence says that the new sponsorship with Subway will have an impact on the upcoming season but he’s mum on details.

“Well, you’ve got to watch the first episode,” he said. And while we don’t yet know if any of the cast will be working at the sub shop, Lawrence adds  “I don’t know what they’re going to do as far as having someone working there, but definitely you’re going to see some Subway stuff in the show.”

As for another 3-D episode, Lawrence says that they haven’t done one yet.

“I wasn’t a big fan of the actual process of the 3-D episode,” he said.  “It’s so tedious. It’s such a tedious way to work. It really slowed production down, and I think normally it takes us eight days to shoot an episode, and this took us 10. My first reaction is to say, ‘I hope not.'”
