I bought the DVD on release day and shortly after went through both discs. But I found a mystery.

On disc two is a featurette entilted, "Dread Pirate Roberts: Greatest Legend Of The Seven Seas". Various scholars talking about the inspiration for the Pirate Roberts in the book and movie of the same name.

One of the interviewee is Professor E.L. Rawscey. He looks a bit off. I thought it might actually be actor Cary Elwes in disguise, an uncredited cameo.

Doing some seaching. Yes it is. Playing the trivia game and answering all ten questions correctly you are treated to an easter egg featurette, "Meet Professor Rawscey!"

As a sidenote, E. L. Rawscey is an anagram of Cary Elwes. Neat.
