Mia Sara

We highly recommend "The Life of Chuck", a recent movie based on a Stephen King novella. It has some very neat ideas and a delivery method that seems strange at first, but definitely adds to the story. But we're not here to talk about that.

The titular Chuck is Chuck Krantz, played in middle age by Tom Hiddleston, and in young age by three different child actors. Three very Jewy-looking child actors. Oh, there is no two ways about it: Chuck is raised by his bubbe and zayde... Mia Sara (her first film role in over a decade) and Mark Hamill. That's what we're here to talk about!

No, we are not complaining that they hired three obvious goyim to play Jewish roles (although the hint that Chuck's other grandparents come from Nebraska clearly points why he ends up looking like Hiddleston). It's Mia Sara and Mark Hamill! Sloan from Ferris Bueller and, well, you know who Hamill is. Playing grandparents! Grandparents!

As of this writing, Hamill is 74, definite grandparent age. Sara is 58, which is getting up there. It's just that two of the most prominent teenage (Hamill obviously played younger) leads of 1980s classics are now... grandparents. (Hamill is one in real life as well. Not sure about Sara.)

Then we look at the calendar, and calculate our own age, and shake our heads, and contemplate life... well, not of Chuck.

Verdict: **Sadly, Not a Jew**.
