With the FOX hit show Chuck coming to an end tonight we were so lucky to chat with one of the series stars (and Girl2Watch alum!), Mekenna Melvin, about all things Chuck. She loved her time on the show and couldn’t be more humble and grateful. I gotta say, it’s kind of refreshing! Mekenna talked to us all about her Chuck faves, what she’s gonna miss most, her dream storyline and so much... [Read more]

In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Mekenna Melvin. My motto is… never give up. I can’t stand it when… it’s really... [Read more]
A year ago I wrote a bucket list – what things I wanted to do before I die, and I’m knocking them off. There are a lot of things on it. I think that as an actor it’s really important to be very aware of my goals, what I wanted and how I was going to get there. If I wanted to work on a show like Chuck, there were specific ways of how I could do it. When I first moved here it was going... [Read more]
I didn’t like it until I was 18 because I was like, “Why couldn’t you have just named me Sara or something normal?” Then you grow up and realize you do have an awesome name. My mom and dad couldn’t figure out which name they wanted and they were going back and forth. A week before I was born they got a Christmas card and in the Christmas card there was the name of somebody’s new child,... [Read more]
The craziest thing someone done to me for love? I have to say it was my first Valentine’s day gift when I was in high school. It was from this boy who had a crush on me and he had my teacher’s class first period and I had it third period. So on the desk that I sat at, he left this big block of cheddar cheese and this little box with a heart that was papier-mâché . There was a little note... [Read more]
I always knew that I wanted to pursue a career in acting and New York was always something that drew me, but I was terrified. I was terrified to go, I was terrified about the idea. I was terrified by the idea of not having a four year degree to fall back on, so I really found myself torn. Do I go to a four year university or do I really commit to this and go to New York and audition for this... [Read more]
I play Alex, who is John Casey’s daughter that he just found out last season that he had. The role was kind of crazy. It started out just as a 20 year old girl with an initial breakdown, one word. The one word was “mom”, that’s what I auditioned for. I remember being really stressed out about it because how do you make “mom” something special? I went to the audition and I said it and...
