Remember that old mystery series starring Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers? Well, Chuck is doing a storyline similar to Hart to Hart, a show about a wealthy, blissfully married couple who solves crimes together. And producers have enlisted just the right people for the job!
According to
Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, Fred Willard and Swoosie Kurtz will be guest starring on
Chuck this season as "a
Hart to Hart-esque spy couple now over-the-hill but still in the game." The two veteran actors will surface at the end of season 3 when they're recruited for a mission that's likely to take a comedic turn.
Willard, who was last seen on TV on
Modern Family as Phil's dad, is best known for his roles on the Christopher Guest mockumentary films
This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and
For Your Consideration. He is also credited for playing Robert Barone's father-in-law on
Everybody Loves Raymond in which he earned three Emmy nominations for his recurring role, and for playing Reginald Cobbles on the TV film
Hart to Hart: Old Friends Never Die. Kurtz, on the other hand, has recently appeared as Marilyn on
Rita Rocks, Millie on
Heroes and as Lily Charles on
Pushing Daisies. She also remains active in theater, earning five Tony Award nominations and winning two over the last three decades.
