Yvonne Strzechowski[1] (born July 30, 1982)[2][3] is an Australian actress from Maroubra,[1] a suburb of Sydney. She is a graduate of University of Western Sydney’s Theatre Nepean[1] with a Bachelor of Arts in Performance. Strzechowski appeared in some roles in Australian film and television and currently appears in the American television series Chuck. She is now using the more phonetic spelling of Yvonne Strahovski as her stage name. Strzechowski speaks fluent Polish and employed it in a brief exchange in the Chuck episode “Chuck Versus The Wookie”.

Alexis, a loyal Moonlight fan and blog reader, provided this video for our enjoyment! Australian actress, Yvonne Strahovski, stars on the funny tv show, Chuck. She was interviewed by the lovely Craig Ferguson on his television program, the Late Late Show. Craig is my fave late night talk show host. He is hilarious and you never know what he is gonna say. “My cheeky little monkeys!” Enough about Craig

They discuss how good the actors and actresses from Australia are at doing accents. Yvonne teases that she is surprised Americans can understand Craig’s Scottish accent, and then does a pretty good on the spot version.

In the interview, Craig brings up the subject of all the Aussie actors in Hollywood, and specifically mentions Alex O’Loughlin. He previously interviewed Alex…. another reason I like Craig!

Craig ~ “There’s another guy on the CBS…. the CBS schedule, the Vampire detective. He’s from Australia.”

Yvonne ~ “Yea, Alex O’Loughlin. He is. His father and my mother actually know each other. They work together at a boy’s school in Sydney.”

Craig ~ “Really? Did you ever date him?”

Yvonne ~ “No. Alex?”

Craig ~ “Yea.”

Yvonne ~ “No. I only just met him. And, he’s unavailable anyway. And, he’s not my style.”

Craig ~ “What? Vampire detective?”

Did we finally find someone who is immune to Alex’s considerable charms? So… her style is not funny, gorgeous, down to earth, open, gracious, athletic and delicious ~ because those are all words that come to my mind when thinking of Alex. *smile*
