For example, then, was it always planned that Morgan (Josh Gomez), Chucks BFF, would eventually find out his buddy is a spy guy?
“No,” Fedak said. “I think that when we first started working on the show, Morgan was always going to be the person who didn’t know about Chuck’s secret life. And it wasn’t ’til … you know, it’s funny. Like, we started talking, I was actually talking to Gomez, and he brought up the idea of, Chuck’s a guy who needs his Alfred, you know, like Batman needs his Alfred, Chuck needs that guy, as well, to kind of support him. “So Josh and I … we kind of got that Alfred idea stuck in our head, and then last season it just seemed like a perfect opportunity in episode nine, ‘Chuck Versus the Beard,’ for us to have Morgan learn. And then also the great thing about (Gomez’s) performance is that he’s such a positive and energized person, that we thought it would be great if he was super-excited that Chuck was in the spy world and would want to perhaps be a part of it.
