Susan and I took a vacation to the West Coast. We were able to go on the Warner Brother Studios tour. It was a unique experience even though we didn’t see any stars. I was hoping to see someone from Chuck but we did see two Chuck related sites.
First was an outdoors set they were preparing for filming a Chuck scene in the afternoon. It was for the episode Chuck versus the Honeymoon. It was a street scene in Europe with several stores and it appeared to be a hotel. There were a few cars and some extras sitting around. They said the call went out for “European looking men and women to serve as extras”. Nobody could put a finger on what you had to be to look “European”. :0)
Susan asked how one could become an extra. The tour guide said you just put in an "application" and wait. You need to have a lot of free time - be a waiter or retired. You can also register your car to be used in shows. They like white, silver, and black. They don't like bright colored cars.
The other set was Chuck’s apartment. JACKPOT! When we walked into the courtyard, it was exactly like on TV. Each of the apartments was there, the fountain, and all the greenery. It wouldn’t have surprised me of Chuck and Sarah to walk in to the courtyard for one of their ‘talks’ at the fountain. I tried to go into Chuck’s apartment but was stopped before I got too far into it. I did see the TV room, kitchen, and the hallway to the bedrooms.
The only bad thing was they locked up our cameras when we went to any of the sets. I did get some pictures of Zach’s real car and some of their dressing rooms (trailers). Maybe if we went on a later tour (we went on the 8:45 tour) we would have seen more, but the group would have been larger than ours (6). I think we got to go to more places because of the group’s small size.
Next time I’m going on the VIP tour. It’s a four-hour tour. You get to eat lunch in the commissary and get closer to the action. It would be worth the larger cost.
