Quantcast Vegetarian StarJoshua Gomez

Joshua Gomez, who plays Chuck’s co-worker Morgan Grimes on the NBC television series about a computer store geek who accidentally downloads government secrets to his brain, “Chuck,” is a vegetarian in real life.

So when it came time to devour the meatball sub sandwich from Subway presented to him during a scene on “Chuck  Vs. The Leftovers,” we got a little nervous when he was about to chow down. Was the sandwich stuffed with wheatballs instead? Luckily (or perhaps a little unluckily for Morgan), his dinner is interrupted by an unexpected customer carrying a weapon.

Subway doesn’t offer much for vegans except a Veggie Delight with no cheese on Italian bread. If you’d like to see that change, maybe you should look into Compassion Over Killing’s “We Love Subway” campaign.

The Chuck Season Finale was divided into two parts: “Chuck Versus the Subway” and “Chuck Versus the Ring, Part 2.”

When Joshua Gomez‘s character, Morgan, and a few other guys learn they’re going to face some pretty bad guys and might have to use a gun, they argue over who should do so.  Awesome can’t because he’s a doctor designed to save lives, but Morgan is a “lapsed vegetarian.”

Presumably, while he’s going to McDonald’s during his Buy More computer store breaks, using violence or ending another life may not be as traumatic during the “lapsed” stage.

In real life, Gomez is not a lapsed vegetarian (last we heard), and prefers his veggie burgers microwaved.

Joshua Gomez may not have all the classified government information his character’s co-worker Chuck (Zachary Levi) has on the NBC television series Chuck, but he does have some inside info on making a great tasting meat-free meal.

Gomez says in the March 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times he is a mostly “veggie-burger-in-the-microwave kind of guy”, but he’s also known to whip up a curry every now and then.

If only everyone could download the secret to setting the timer so the veggie burger comes out perfect.
