Nicole Richie got a guest starring role on the NBC dramedy, "Chuck."

On a new episode of NBC’s “Chuck” scheduled for the fall, (Mondays, 8-9 p.m. ET), Special Agent Sarah Walker, played by Yvonne Strahovski, gets a bad flashback from her past when she comes face to face with her high school nemesis, played by guest star Nicole Richie.

Richie will play a "snarky and spiteful girl" who was a monster to Sarah in school -- and now Sarah must face her fears when she must attend her 10-year high school reunion with Chuck (Zachary Levi) as her date.

"Nicole auditioned for the part and was very funny," said executive producer Josh Schwartz. "This role is a great opportunity for her to show off her comedic skills and be diabolically evil and kick some butt.  It's going to be really fun."

Richie recently had a baby girl, and was once a reality star in "The Simple Life," on which she co-starred with Paris Hilton.

Richie has guest starred on other TV shows such as "8 Simple Rules … for Dating My Teenage Daughter" and "American Dreams."  Richie is also designing and selling a line of jewelry.
