We all know Keg Jennings, right? Good old Keg Jennings? No...? While Keg's appearance on the show is so short you could blink and miss him, the man behind the curious character is a forgettable figure.

Andy and April go looking for a proper home in the show's seventh and final season, and happen upon a haunted abode with a lot of character, including a living one – Keg Jennings – who shows them around with all the humour of a hangman. Dismissed by many as just a strange scene in a strange house with a strange old man, Keg has so much more to offer, with hidden depths that extend further than his gothic home's firepole.

Eagle-eyed viewers may recognise Keg from season one of The Mandalorian, where he played The Client – the ex-Imperial who sent Mando to capture Grogu. Cinephiles, however, will know him as the renowned (and decidedly quirky) auteur director Werner Herzog. In a cameo to rival Bill Murray's deceased Mayor Gunderson, Herzog's cameo totally catches you off-guard and, much like his films, takes a little time to fully digest.

But the fact that Keg has decided to move to Orlando, in his words 'to be closer to Disneyworld', is really just the icing on the cake.
