Forum:Sander Cohen in-joke?

There was a character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer named Xander. He had a close friend with a Jewish last name. His fiance had a phobia about bunnies. Several people connected with BVS provide voices for the game (Armin Shimerman and Juliet Landau).

So, Sander Cohen with his bunny-ears - an in-joke, or am I 'thinking too much' (as if that were possible)?
