Sarah as she appears in Season 5. Sarah Walker Bartowski, known throughout the series as Sarah Walker , was probably born May , although at least one false passport, seen in Chuck Versus the Helicopter , had her birthday listed as 30 November She is a CIA operative initially sent to Burbank to assess Chuck Bartowski , the recipient of the last contact sent by her former partner apparently gone rogue, Bryce Larkin.
She is a main character in NBC television series Chuck. She is portrayed by Yvonne Strahovski. Sarah Walker grew up apparently splitting her time between her grandmother and her father, although the details are lacking. Her father, Jack Burton , made his living as a con man and apprenticed his young daughter to the grift.
Whenever Sarah spent time with her father, they were on a con. She went through a dozen aliases before she entered high school. She was taught to trust no one, to rely upon herself, and show no weakness. She worked with CIA handler Kieran Ryker , who proved himself untrustworthy, and with partner, Bryce Larkin who apparently betrayed her trust as well. From her first interaction with Chuck, she found herself liking him, and told him so.
As part of her cover, Sarah poses as Chuck's girlfriend. One of the complications, and a focus for the development of her character through the series, is that, although initially she insists the relationship is only her cover, she grew steadily closer to Chuck, and ultimately fell in love with him.
While Sarah was at first reluctant to either recognize or acknowledge her feelings for Chuck, every other character readily picked up on her attraction to him. Sarah's DEA associate, Carina Miller, was one of the first to recognize that Sarah's feelings for Chuck are more than merely professional. Agent Roan Montgomery [3] in Chuck Versus the Seduction also discerns that she has feelings for him, pointing out to Chuck, who thinks otherwise, that "the lady doth protest too much.
