Preview: Dominic Monaghan in ‘Chuck Versus the Third Dimension’

If you haven’t heard yet, Lost alum Dominic Monaghan has an upcoming guest-star gig on the very special February 2 episode of Chuck called “Chuck Versus the Third Dimension.”

The episode’s not just a big deal because of Monaghan, of course, but also because (1) it’s the first new Chuck of 2009 and (2) it will supposedly be broadcast in exciting 3-D. I say supposedly because I’ve tried watching 3-D TV and movies before, and neither ever did a thing for me. Maybe this time will be the charm.

Monaghan plays — surprise … not! — a rock star, this one named Tyler Martin. When the international sensation becomes the target of deadly crooks, Team Chuck steps in and saves his butt. Dear old Chuck then has second thoughts about that turn of events when he and Tyler have all kinds of problems during a night hanging out.

Football player Jerome Bettis also guest stars as Big Mike’s old buddy Jimmy, one of the Buy More bunch hoping to get his hands on Morgan’s extra backstage pass to Tyler’s concert.

Monaghan has the whole rock star thing nailed, so this entire episode sounds like tons of fun. Check out Monaghan in action on the show in the two-scenes-in-one preview clip below to see what I mean.
