Carrie-Ann Moss has signed on to portray a love interest\/rival for Adam Baldwin’s lovelorn spy character John Casey on the final season of ‘Chuck,’ TVLine<\/a> is reporting. Her character, Gertrude Verbanski, is a former spy who is now running private spy firm Verbanski Corp., the main competition of Chuck and Sarah’s new company.<\/p>\n

Gertrude has been described as ruthless and deadly, but also has a weak spot for John. She has also been described as “Miranda Priestly meets Lara Croft, with a rather wicked sense of humor.” The news of Moss’ casting was leaked at this year’s Comic-Con, and as a result, Baldwin subsequently said “Casey has either met his match, or his love match.” He added that he doesn’t know much about the Gertrude character, “but I’m sure she’ll be kick-ass and hilarious.”<\/p>\n

Moss joins the fifth season of the spy comedy, which is set to debut on Friday, October 21, 2011 at 8pm EST on NBC, after such famous actors as Timothy Dalton, Linda Hamilton and Brandon Routh guest-starred on the show. The ‘Matrix’ actress also joined ‘Chuck’ after she recently starred on the Lifetime drama pilot ‘Normal,’ which followed a famous New York shrink as she quits her private practice to take a job at a teaching hospital. However, the show was not picked up to series, allowing her to take on the ‘Chuck’ role.<\/p>\n
