He's a secret agent, he has classified knowledge and skills downloaded into his head, and now he's trying his hand at directing ... "Chuck's" leading man has now done it all.

The latest episode of the bizarre spy-drama, "Chuck Versus The Beard," was directed by series star Zachary Levi, and featured on-set shooting, on-location shooting plus an assortment of action sequences and reveals.

How did he pull it off? Well, through an intimate knowledge of the characters, of course.

"I get to work with these guys all the time, and I know them to know their characters inside and out better than anyone else does," Levi said. "So you don't really have to say much, just kind of let them do what they do -- and they do it so well. I would only come in if there was, like, a pacing thing [or] if it was a timing thing. But everyone brings their A game all the time. That's why I love and respect them so much."
