It’s been buzzed about on Twitter and talked about at numerous fans sites as well as being reportrf on at various entertainment news sources today that the folks over at the NBC series Chuck are looking to cast Sarah’s (Yvonne Strahovski) mom. I’ve seen a handful of actresses’ names thrown around as to who should play the part; and I was pleasantly surprised to find a few that I thought up on my own PRIOR to visiting their sites as some of the top contenders.
Lindsay Wagner
As I have done in the past, I am throwing my own list and those will follow below. First, here is the short description of Sarah’s mom. Her name is Emma and she is described as a beautiful blonde who is, in essence, a walking hug. This could potentially be a recurring character in the final season of the fan-favorite series.
Here is my list (in no particular order):
Erin Gray
Lindsay Wagner – Lindsay starred as Jamie Summers in the original Bionic Woman and is an icon in the genre world, which would fit right into the world of Chuck.
Erin Gray – Appearing in the early 80’s cult classic Buck Rogers as Wilma Deering, Erin would be any geek’s dream-come-true mother-in-law.
Cheryl Ladd
Cheryl Ladd – Cheryl was Kris Munroe in the 1970’s perennial series Charlie’s Angels and could be considered the precursor for Sarah Walker, right?
Anne Lockart
Anne Lockart – Anne may not be as well known as the aforementioned actresses, but she was Sheba in the original Battlestar Galactica and that should count for something. Shouldn’t it?
Wendy Kilbourne
Wendy Kilbourne – Wendy hasn’t really done any acting since the 90’s [she married former North & South co-star James Read and has been a devoted wife and mother since then], but she has history with actor Gary Cole, who, as any faithful Chuck viewer knows, plays Sarah’s dad. Wendy appeared on Cole’s Midnight Caller TV series and her casting would be a unique casting choice to have these two reunited on screen.
Who do you think should be cast as Sarah’s mom. Please share your thoughts.
