Yvonne Strahovski: biography and career
| Yvonne Strahovski (born Strzechowski on 30 July 1982) is an Australian actress. Born in Maroubra, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to Polish immigrant parents, Strahovski speaks Polish and English.
Yvonne's parents immigrated to Australia from Warsaw, Poland. After her acting success, they moved to the USA to be near her. All of of Yvonne's remaining relatives reside in Poland. Upon graduating from the renowned Theatre Nepean (the prestigious actor training institution within the School of Contemporary Arts at the University of Western Sydney) in 2003, Yvonne Strahovski quickly established herself as a newcomer well worth watching. Strahovski first started her career in Australia appearing in film and TV roles, including a turn on satirical show Double the Fist and a part as Freya Lewis in the Australian drama series headLand. She has also appeared in Channel Nine's show Sea Patrol.She sent in her audition tape for the show Chuck while in the United States auditioning for roles in other shows, namely NBC's 2007 series Bionic Woman. She sent in an audition tape while waiting to hear from the other two jobs. She was contacted by the producers of Chuck the next day to come in to "run lines" with Zachary Levi. The chemistry was undeniable and the producers of "Chuck" (2007) called her back a week later letting her know she got the job. Six months later, she moved to the United States and was cast as the leading lady on "Chuck" (2007) two days later. In 2010, Strahovski received the Teen Choice Award for Choice Action TV Actress for Chuck.
