Tonight on Chuck, Superman Return's Brandon Routh kicks off a recurring guest star stint, as Daniel Shaw, a devilishly good looking CIA superagent.

When Awesome (Ryan McPartlin) is mistaken for a super spy by the evil Sydney Price (guest star Angie Harmon, Law & Order), Chuck (Zachary Levi) must become Awesome's handler and show him the spy ropes. While on a mission for The Ring, they meet the mysterious Daniel Shaw.

Tipped to cause some problems between Chuck (Levi) and Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski), Routh admits to TV Guide USA his role is not going to make him very popular with audiences.

"I'm a big fan of Chuck - I just love that show! And I know the fans don't want anyone breaking up Chuck and Sarah. Hey, even I would be mad at my character!"

"I also really love my character Libby, so it's been good fun getting to play her again and for such a fantastic storyline."
