Groundhog Day’s Ned Ryerson Gets Extra Run on Blu-ray

No, Bill Murray fans aren’t experiencing deja vu — 1993’s Groundhog Day has come to home video before. Exclusive to its recent Blu-ray debut, however, is a special intermittent picture-in-picture bonus track narrated by Stephen Tobolowsky, who memorably plays Ned Ryerson, an enthusiastically deranged insurance salesman and old high school classmate of Murray’s sardonic, stuck-in-a-time-loop weatherman. The good-natured, 57-year-old character actor pops up in character throughout the film and narrates “weatherman style,” offering up trivia tidbits and quizzing viewers on their own knowledge of the film. Tobolowsky didn’t need much prodding on the reminiscences, either, as he shares in this interview tidbit from H Magazine. Groundhog Day on Blu-ray is currently available via Sony Pictures Home Entertainment for a SRP of $28.95.

One thought on “Groundhog Day’s Ned Ryerson Gets Extra Run on Blu-ray

  1. He seems like a cool dude in the longer read, and i always enjoy interviews with character actors like him — “those faces” who know but can’t immediately place.
