Actress Jordana Brewster is to join the cast of US TV show, Chuck. Brewster has previously appeared in The Fast and The Furious and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

According to TV Guide’s Mike Ausiello, Brewster will be playing the infamous Jill - the woman who broke Chuck’s heart during his college years.

Josh Schwartz, executive producer of the show, explains that Jill is the “mythic college girlfriend who broke Chuck’s heart, slept with his best friend Bryce Larkin, and is basically responsible for setting his life crashing off course and landing him at the Nerd Herd. He always has imagined seeing her again, and being able to impress her with all he’s accomplished. Unfortunately, when he does meet her, he’s doing a computer install and she’s a brilliant, successful, beautiful doctor working to create antibodies to horrible diseases.”

Brewster is will appear in at least three episodes of the show, in what Schwartz promises to be the “juiciest arc we’ve done yet and one that ties very deeply into the mythology of the show and the character of Chuck.”
