We watched the last episode of “Chuck” for the year last night, and amidst the Die Hard and Groundhog Day references, I’m pretty sure I spotted another. Was the look of Jed Rees as “Ned Rhyerson” modeled after Bruno S., the enigmatic non-actor who portrayed the mysterious foundling Kaspar Hauser in Herzog’s Jeder f?r sich und Gott gegen alle? Maybe not, but the resemblance is striking.

    That is uncanny. Well done.
