Levi will play the cousin of Jason Lee 's character from the original, who, much like his predecessor, gets into some hijinks with the animated trio.

Justin Long , Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney will return to voice Alvin, Simon and Theodore.

But Levi isn't the only new addition to the sequel - the latest installment will also introduce the "Chipettes" - Brittany, Jeanette and Eleanor - who were a part of the 1980s cartoon series.

In 2007, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" grossed $217 million at the North American box office.

    Say it isn't so! Why in the world would he agree to star in that movie? I think it's a mistake. He deserves a better break; he is wonderful on Chuck! :(
