American Underdog, the Kurt Warner biopic hitting theaters on Christmas Day, tells the inspirational story of Warner’s improbable rise from a struggling small-town college football player to grocery store employee to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion and Hall of Fame quarterback.
Zachary Levi plays Warner alongside Anna Paquin, who plays his wife, Brenda. Earlier this month, we got the chance to talk to Levi — the star of Chuck and Shazam! — about preparing for the role (he had to learn how to throw a perfect spiral) and even snuck in a question about one of Levi’s favorite shows, Ted Lasso.
