What's your story? What drew you to follow Christ and what prompted you to be so public about it?

Thanks for doing an AMA! I have a question about an Easter egg I think I found in the song you made with Sesame Street for Mashable a few years back. I noticed at one point in the video there's an unexplained rubber duck sitting on a park bench behind everyone. Is there any meaning or reason for it being there? I've been wondering about it for a long time, thanks!

How close are you still with your old co-actors from Chuck?
PS - Pineapple.

Even when we are all physically far from one another, we are always close in our hearts. We're blood.

What can you tell us about the Thin Man villain you play in the upcoming "Psych" movie? I can't wait!!
sysadminbj19 karma
Holy fucking shit! Levi's in the Psych movie? Fuck work... I gotta catch up on Psych movie stuff.

What's the hardest part about having a large part of your personal life public?

Howdy Zac! As a Christian in Hollywood, what do you see as the hardest stumbling block/hurdle to conquer and stay grounded in your faith? (Please know that I'm always praying for you. Your faith tweets keep me encouraged. Want to do the same for you.) - your sister from the Almighty Mister
Zachary_Levi34 karma
I think we all have many of the same stumbling blocks in our lives, regardless of our vocations. The biggest, and most difficult in my experience is pride.

Hey Zach! If you could star in the remake of any classic film, which film would you choose?

Which Disney princess would you date? (Besides Rapunzel from Tangled).
Zachary_Levi27 karma
There is only one Disney princess in my eyes. And you know her name. :)

Hi, Zachary! I was lucky enough to see your brilliant performance in She Loves Me on Broadway last spring, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Are there any plans to return to the stage?
alwayslearning098 karma
Hey Zach! Everytime you sneeze, do you feel like you're having a "flash"?
Zachary_Levi31 karma
Probably Chuck, cuz he's got a good heart. But I'm reeeaaal excited about y'all seeing my Thin White Duke in the Psych Movie. ;)
Zachary_Levi23 karma
No joke, someone down here at SDCC just asked me about my new "Jack Ryan" series. I felt bad to break the news to him...

Hey Zac,
Being familiar with the real story of Alias Grace, Iβm really looking forward to the mini series. I was wondering how you enjoyed doing a period piece and if thereβs any other piece of Historical Fiction you would like to do?
Side note: Thanks for being a lovely human!
Zachary_Levi15 karma
I absolutely loved doing a period piece. Would be delighted to do more some day. Nikola Tesla bio-pic would be super dreamy.

Hey Zachary! Thanks for the AMA. Just wondering if you ever use reddit on your personal time when not doing an AMA? If so, what's most likely to get your upvote?

Hi Zac! Do you remember meeting me (Jessica) and my sister (Melissa) from Nutbush, TN last year in Austin? π I really enjoyed chatting with you while eating some delicious tacos! Totally might be coming back just for some more of them! π
My question, Do you have any advice on how to move from feeling truely stuck in life? I have tried everything I know to do and just can't seem to break through. Hope you are having an awesome day!
Zachary_Levi19 karma
We have to get up and move. In some direction. And trust that the words, thoughts, visions, and direction will be provided, when we practice true faith.
mymousecapades5 karma
Hey Zac! I moved to Austin recently, but I was born and raised in California. I need to rep. ππΌ Will the gray Nerdifornia hats ever be available again? ππΌ
Zachary_Levi12 karma
Pretty sweet. But there's always room for improvement. Now I think I wanna design and build my own trailers.
naughtmydog3 karma
Hi Zac! Is Texas just a residence for you or do you have some business plans there too?
stormy-darklordofall3 karma
Did you lose your voice yet? And all us former volunteers and attendees of Nerd HQ appreciate you and Dave and everyone at Nerd HQ.
Heatstroke4222 karma
Hi Zachary,
Anything you would recommend doing for a first time Comic-con goer? Must attend events, things to do or bring?
Thanks!
Zachary_Levi8 karma
Hydration, and sleep. At least that's what I have to remind myself of every year, cuz I keep forgetting. :/
sweetcliches2 karma
I guess this question works with the Nicola Tesla comment.. It seems you think a lot about making technology better, improving the way content is consumed, etc. Do you ever find it hard to shut off your monkey mind? How do you decompress?
Zachary_Levi15 karma
It's taken me about 37 years to finally embrace the fact that my nutty brain just doesn't stop. And that's okay with me. We got one shot at this "life" thing. I'd rather have more to do/make/build/create/provide in this world, than a slower, more "manageable" mind. And truth is, the best way to decompress for me, is to see these various ideas & visions to completion. ;)
naughtmydog2 karma
Can you tease us with details of any Middle Man Productions activity in the works?
JacqueeSovereign2 karma
Do you know any programming languages? Or are you not that kind of nerd? ;)
DarthBaller1 karma
How can you let Asgard be destroyed by Cate Blanchett? Will you help save Earth in Infinity War?
jessikac231 karma
Hey Zac, any chance of you coming to New York Comic Con this year and bringing The Nerd Machine with you? It's a bummer that only San Diego gets you :(
babychub547 karma
Hey Zac! My name is Hannah and I have been a fan for a long time so I'm really excited! My question is also sort of a story... So when you were in First Date, my parents surprised me with a trip to New York (I'm from Salt Lake City) and a ticket to the show for Christmas. But when I got to the theater, the slip of paper saying you weren't there fell out of my playbill. I was devastated. The show was still AMAZING and I don't regret going at all, but I was still a little disappointed. The next year, I went to NerdHQ in the hopes of getting a SmilesForSmiles opportunity with you, but the only day I went was the only day you didn't do photo opportunities. The next year, I went to NerdHQ again to try once again to meet you. I wad there for 3 days and didn't get a picture with you. I met you on the last night during the dance party and you were SO nice and wonderful, but I still wanted a chance to have a picture with you. So.. my question is, is there any way you could send me a picture with a sign or a video or something that could make up for me not getting a picture of you despite 3 trips? If not, I totally understand, but if you could, that would be AMAZING!! Thank you, I love you and all the work you do!! β€β€
