My name is Inigo Montoya. You are Chuck. Prepare to die.
I am almost certain I just saw Mandy Patinkin (best known as Inigo) on the TV show Chuck. The particular accent is... sort of unmistakable. And, except for the addition of a mustache, it sure looked like the current photos of him on IMDB ( Read more... ) -
