Yvonne Strahovski as Black Canary (Dinah Lance)

Casting Call: Birds of Prey
Yvonne Strahovski as Black Canary (Dinah Lance) 
Blonde, beautiful, and worthy of an action-packed role, Yvonne has already proven she's got the acting chops and physicality to play Dinah. It doesn't help that she's drop-dead gorgeous. It's her facial expressions that really clued me in, she always seems to be pondering her next move, the way I would imagine Dinah would do.

From rogue spies to free agents

YVONNE STRAHOVSKI (SARAH)
AFTER honing her craft in the Australian TV industry, Strahovski, 29, landed the plum role of Sarah – something of a cross between Angelina Jolie in Tomb Raider and Maggie Q in Nikita.
On her vision for Sarah in season five, she says: “I would like to see her have a successful married life and find a happy balance between that and the spy world. We will see how everything goes with this new company that they have opened up, and with Morgan having the Intersect – that’s going to be a wild ride.”
As for the domino effect this development will have on their respective roles, she explains: “It’s going to be different taking care of Morgan with the Intersect than it was with Chuck – he has to become a full spy now. I think she is embracing the fact that he is coming into his own. But there will be a lot of marital spats with Morgan in the middle.”
That Sarah has transformed from the first instalment goes without saying: “I would love to see her skydive, or rock climb. Basically, see her do some really crazy stunts.”
What is Strahovski’s ideal ending for this season?
“I think we probably have to end it with her getting pregnant with triplets or something. I guess it is all a bit emotional. But it’s comforting to know that our fans will follow us wherever we go now as actors – we hope they follow us.”

Yvonne Strahovski Named Smartasses.Net's 2012 66th Ranked Sexiest Woman Alive

Yvonne Strahovski (born Yvonne Strzechowski July 30, 1982) is an Australian actress. Born in Australia to Polish immigrant parents, Strahovski speaks Polish and English. Strahovski was born in Campbelltown, a suburb of Sydney. Her parents had emigrated from Warsaw, Poland. She adopted the more phonetic spelling of Strahovski as her stage name at Chuck producer Josh Schwartz’s behest for the sake of easier pronunciation. Strahovski moved to Los Angeles in 2007, although she has returned to Australia to work. After her acting success, her parents moved to the USA to be near her.
Strahovski started acting when she played Viola in a school production of Twelfth Night. She spent her high school years attending Santa Sabina College, Strathfield. She graduated from University of Western Sydney’s Theatre Nepean in 2003. After graduating from the University of Western Sydney she acted in three Australian television shows. She sent in her audition tape for the show Chuck while in the United States auditioning for NBC’s 2007 series Bionic Woman, which ended up going to Michelle Ryan. She sent in an audition tape while waiting to hear from two other jobs. She was contacted by the producers of Chuck the next day to come in to “run lines” with Zachary Levi. The producers called her back a week later letting her know she had been cast as Sarah Walker. Six months later, she moved to the United States. Her film career includes both Australian and American movies.
Strahovski also appears in Mass Effect Galaxy and Mass Effect 2 as the voice of Miranda Lawson. Strahovski also had her face scanned and animated so she could portray Miranda Lawson in Mass Effect 2. Executive Producer of the series Casey Hudson has indirectly confirmed her return for Mass Effect 3, stating “every main character will be in there somewhere” though the size of her role has not been revealed. Strahovski voices Aya Brea in the English version of the Parasite Eve spinoff, The 3rd Birthday, which was released on March 2011 for the PlayStation Portable. She also appeared in a CollegeHumor sketch in April 2011, parodying the music styles of Katy Perry, Ke$ha, and Lady Gaga.
In 2010, Strahovski received the Teen Choice Award for Choice Action TV Actress for Chuck. -Wikipedia

Tribute - CANVAS to Yvonne Strahovski

Mass Effect 3 Voice Cast Revealed

From January

Maxim Australia March 2012

There are precious few actresses with the acting and action chops to stand up to big boys Robert De Niro and Jason Statham. Yvonne Strahovski is one of them. Playing a farm girl who gets caught up in a web of violence in Killer Elite, she adds some much-needed sexiness to an otherwise testosterone-heavy movie. Yvonne, who left Australia to play a dorky spy’s CIA contact in TV show Chuck, has more than just looks and talent. Just check out her three-in-one parody of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Ke$ha on the College Humor comedy website to witness the dazzling, down-to-earth Aussie’s (literally - she’s from Sydney’s beachside suburb Maroubra) sick sense of humour.

Constellation Awards Fill The Saturn Void, Nominate Actual Sci-Fi


Since most mainstream awards like the Oscars or the Golden Globes are biased against genre entertainment, we used to look to the Saturn Awards as a way to recognize great science fiction. This year though, as discussed previously on this site, the Satties dropped the ball and joined the Oscars in awarding Hollywood garbage. Maybe it’s time to look to the Constellation Awards instead.

The Constellation Awards are Canada’s awards for excellence in Science Fiction film and television. They’ve been running for six years and they’ve just announced their latest batch of nominees. They’re focused more on shows and actors with a connection to Canada, so that skews the results so much. But at least they’ve actually nominated science fiction.

These are the Constellation Award nominees for 2011′s best science fiction
BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE IN 2011 SCIENCE FICTION TELEVISION
Alaina Huffman, Stargate Universe
Amanda Tapping, Sanctuary
Chasty Ballesteros, Divine: The Series
Karen Gillan, Doctor Who
Meaghan Rath, Being Human
Ming-Na, Stargate Universe
Yvonne Strahovski, Chuck

Fashion Star' outfits in stores the next day

"A Penguins fan, a Steelers fan, they'll wear the jacket and the hat, but this woman ..." he said, gesturing to a tall blonde at the NBC party, who, when she turned around, revealed herself to be "Chuck" star Yvonne Strahovski. "She probably loves the designer of those shoes and that jewelry, that dress. With fashion it goes deeper and it's broader with different price points. Every culture has their own fashion -- and I think it's just like sports."

The Third Birthday Revisited On The Vita – Under The Radar Review

From a story perspective, you have everything the original Parasite Eve games had, with the addition of voice acting.  The 3rd Birthday, for the most part, is translated well from the original Japanese script, so conversations aren’t broken and make sense.  Yvonne Strahovski (who also portrays Miranda Lawson in the Mass Effect series) does a good job with the script she’s handed.  Unfortunately, the Aya Brea portrayed in The 3rd Birthday isn’t as strong of a character as the previous games.  In the originalParasite Eve, Aya was a rookie NYPD cop who chased down ten-foot-tall monsters while waving a badge and a gun, whereas in The 3rd Birthday she seems more meek, fragile and soft spoken.  While the reason behind this is explained later in the story and is in part due to her memory loss, it doesn’t feel like the Aya that we all grew up with in the late 90s.
