Interview with Zachary Levi (Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel)
Alvin and the Chipmunks are back at it again in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. This time around, Zachary Levi (from the hit TV series "Chuck") stars in the family comedy as Dave's cousin Toby. During the Chipmunks' concert, Dave Seville (Jason Lee) suffers a severe injury and is rushed to the hospital. Although he survives, he must stay for a few days to recuperate and calls Toby to help take care of the Chipmunks. Prior to the event, he had made arrangements for Alvin, Simon, and Theodore to attend school. Little does he know, while in school, the Chipmunks feel like 'chipmunks out of water' on account of all the human students around. Meanwhile, the Chipmunks' former manager Ian Hawke (David Cross) searches the world for animals who can sing and dance. He happens upon Brittany (Anna Farris), Jeanette (Christina Applegate), and Eleanor Amy Poehler), the Chippettes, and cannot wait to make them famous, and get his sworn revenge on the Chipmunks.
Tribute's Bonnie Laufer spoke with Zachary Levi in Los Angeles about working with the legendary Chipmunks and what Chuck fans have in store when the show hits the airwaves for season three in January.
