Actor Zachary Levi tells The Oklahoman he's moving to Tulsa

TULSA, Okla. (KTUL) – Actor Zachary Levi says he's moving to Tulsa, according to The Oklahoman newspaper.

Levi is starring in “American Underdog,” hitting theaters for this Christmas. He portrays NFL Hall of Famer Kurt Warner in the inspirational story of perseverance.

Levi also recently filmed a family drama, "The Unbreakable Boy,” here in Oklahoma.

Apparently, his time in Oklahoma left him impressed. This is what Levi told The Oklahoman in a recent interview:

"It was actually the first time I'd ever been to Oklahoma, and I spent probably about five months — it was like November, all the way through the holidays, all the way through March — and I loved it. In fact, I enjoyed my time in Oklahoma so much that I'm moving there. It's a real thing.

"I'm actually moving to Tulsa. ... I had a great time making those two films, and I want to make more. And I think the people of Oklahoma are awesome — all the people that I continue to meet or that come into my life there continue to be loving and kind and excited about making more movies in Oklahoma. So, that's what I'm going to do."
