    Very talented actress...ah , yes, and very beautifull...Gorgeous eyes, if you ask me, and yes, like someone previously said, the cutest bunny teeth in entertainment business (TV,theatre, movie, whichever you like).
    Frankly, Morgan from "CHUCK" nailed it just right: STOP THE PRESSES!
    Once again , a talented actress from "down under", which speaks better English than most of her American coleagues, even though I've read that she speaks Polish, and only as 2-nd language English. Hope she won't lose her head to the temptations of Hollywood (you all know what I mean).
    What more can I say that hasn't already been said? I think it's the first time I am sorry I don't live in the US (particullary in LA)

    the cutest bunny teeth in TV! Overall very sexy, first impression she give me is like seeing Cameron Diaz in the mask! hide show

    I just finish view the whole 2 season in a week! I notice this series was around but never have time to view it... but since All my favorite show already ended season so I take the initiative to view this spy comedy series.

    Sarah (yvonne) for me is the eyecandy of the show. I thought there will be many cool gadget and stuff involve since they work at the buymore store (Best Buy rip off)
    Fall in love with the character after seeing 2-3 episodes. The first season is kinda funny as Sarah work in Weinnerlicious and all those thing seem to be a joke...

    Season two was a big different as they have the castle and orange orange put a fresh looks on the movie set.. the color and uniform also make Sarah character hotter than ever! compare to the weinner girl outfits.

    Hope to see more of Yvonne pulling some hot move in season 3.

    Yvonne is a gifted actress whose exceptional talent has not been appropriately recognized by critics and peers. hide show

    Yvonne Strahovski is one of the most underrated actresses in a TV series. She plays her role in the series "Chuck" in a totally convincing manner. She is a master of expressing happiness, fear, determination, love, and even hatred in a masterful and convincing manner; and incidentally she is in great physical condition for the demanding role she plays. Her beauty is obvious but she consistently portrays more emotion in a single look than most actresses can portray in a 100 words. Yvonne ranks equally with Angelina Jolie in her ability to efffectively convey all forms of raw emotion with her gestures, facial expressions and eyes! Yvonne deserves to be recognized for her unique talent and superb acting ability.

It's like they captured my consciousness and I just don't want the series to stop. I want to watch it over and over again. I so Love Sarah Walker. I wasn't expecting she's a newbie in Hollywood. But she's ver very good! I hope Chuck series will last for more seasons. I will be their ultimate fan. I'm looking for more Sarah Walker in the future. I so love her! Keep it going!
