Zachary Levi: Family man? - Inscris-toi gratuitement et surfe sans pub !
| By Arienne Thompson, USA TODAY Zachary Levi, who is dating musician Caitlin Crosby, doesn't have kids yet, but it seems like he's on a family-friendly film tear with Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel and Rapunzel. However, he insists that at this point, his choices have more to do with job security than with impressing future offspring. "I'm leaning toward projects that are willing to hire me," he says with a laugh. "But I do have a lot of love and respect for family films, the reason being, yes, if and when I have kids, for them to be able to see stuff that daddy has done (that's) not some psycho mass murderer." Levi says he's surprised that Chuck, which returns with a two-hour premiere Jan. 10 (9 p.m. ET/PT) on NBC,has become a go-to source of entertainment for some families, too. "One of the things I've learned through this process with Chuck is that entire families sit down and watch together, and they really appreciate that time. Especially when kids get older and are splintering off and they're doing their own thing, and parents are always wanting quality time but they never get it. Oddly, crazily enough, we offer them this hour when they all sit down as a family unit and watch a TV show together, and enjoy it together. That's a really special service to provide to someone." The crew of Chuck has become like a family for Levi, since they shoot for most of the year with few breaks. "Television offers you this really special thing that you don't really get in films all that often, which is this family — a real family unit that you're with basically for nine and a half months. ... We're together all the time, and so you get this really amazing opportunity to be in these people's lives for years and years at a time, but then it's also pretty heartbreaking when it all comes to an end and you're all moving on to other projects." With his career in high gear, Levi will likely be moving on to plenty of new projects — for both kids and adults. And his good fortune is certainly not lost on him. "I envy me!" |
