1/18/09: [Originally posted to General Spoilers.] Scott Bakula has been cast as Chuck and Ellie's dad. Chuck promises Ellle that he'll find their father before her wedding and "it's something that Chuck becomes consumed with pursuing during the second half of the season." However, Dad doesn't seem like he wants to be found. According to Josh Schwartz, "He's living in a trailer, he's disheveled, he's paranoid and he's claiming constantly that Ted Roark -- who he used to work with -- stole all his ideas from him. And Ted Roark has now become this super-successful software billionaire, and Chuck's dad has become an eccentric, living in the shadows." Bakula is set to play the role in at least three episodes starting in April.
From Ausiello [Though we can't be sure, we're guessing that this three episode arc will lead up to the season finale and Ellie and Awesome's wedding.]
