Meet the Chipmunks’ temp guardian Zachary Levi
| After the huge success of "Alvin and the Chipmunks" comes the hotly anticipated "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel" where we’ll find the mischievous and delightful trio – Alvin, Simon and Theodore deal with school along with their new temporary guardian Toby (Zachary Levi). The world turns upside down for the Chipmunks when Alvin inadvertently causes an accident on stage which results in Dave Seville’s severe bone fracture forcing him to stay for months in a French hospital. Dave then designates his aunt as the Chipmunks’ guardian. Unfortunately, the wheelchair-bound Aunt Jackie also encountered a bad accident, leaving Dave’s cousin, the likeable but irresponsible Toby in charge of the Chipmunks. Toby is hardly the type of secure family figure the Chipmunks need at this important crossroads in their lives. He talks about his relationship with the Chipmunks in the interview below. What is Toby’s character like? Toby is just a big kid. He is the nerdy cousin of Dave. He is in his mid to late twenties and is a real man-child who didn’t do anything with his life. He might have the potential, but doesn’t have the drive yet to get anywhere. How qualified is Toby to be the guardian of the Chipmunks? Toby is not qualified to take care of the Chipmunks, but he does have a good heart. He sees the Chipmunks and learns about family and love between brothers. He also learns to face his own fears. As little Theodore stands up to his fears, Toby does too. How was it working in the film? I spent most of the movie talking to characters who aren’t really there. But I feel that as long as you play it honestly, there is a certain reality that will come out of it. Using your imagination is crucial, but I enjoy it, its fun and challenging. It’s nice to work those muscles out. What will the audience look forward in the sequel? People like the characters…parents remember them and kids love them. This might sound crazy but I honestly think it’s a blessed idea. They have hit on something incredibly special. At the end of the day this film hearkens back to great classic family entertainment that we don’t really get too much these days. It’s a big high-energy family comedy that everyone will love. "Alvin and the Chipmunks 2: The Squeakquel" opens January 8. |
