As soon as Yvonne Strahovski, the actress who plays Sarah Walker on the NBC series "Chuck," walks onto the show's set on the Warner Bros. lot, every eye is focused on her left wrist.
Strahovski is sporting a huge bandage. It covers most of her hand, her wrist and part of her forearm.
Production on the second season of the spy series has been at full tilt. And in the show, Strahovski plays a spy who has to go undercover to protect Chuck (Zachary Levi), a member of the Nerd Herd at a massive electronics Buy More store. Chuck has had volumes of government secrets implanted in his head.
It seems reasonable to assume that the Australian actress hurt her hand while doing a stunt with a speeding car, crazed Ninja or in some form of hand-to-hand combat.
"This is just a pulled muscle in my wrist. It's fine," Strahovski says. When pushed about what action sequence caused the injury, Strahovski smiles and adds, "It is from reaching into my handbag at an awkward angle."
She laughs and then says that isn't a great story but it is the truth.
