Claire Robinson In The Rainmaker (And Other FN Extras You Might Have Missed)
 |
An FNH reader named Carlos recently watched The Rainmaker, the 1997 John Grisham movie starring Matt Damon, and noticed a familiar face in the crowd during a bar scene:
It’s totally Claire Robinson! And she’s pretending to be more attracted to the middle-aged douchebag with the receding hairline than Matt Damon. Now that, my friends, is some mighty fine acting.
Claire’s not the only Food Network host to have appeared as an extra in a major feature film. Oh no. Take a look at a few other celebrity chef walk-on roles you might have missed:
SANDRA LEE,
“drunk #57″ in Cocktail
GUY FIERI,
“moron with ugly broken car” in Dumb & Dumber
DUFF GOLDMAN,
“”swimmer bear” in The Karate Kid
RACHAEL RAY,
“dweeb on Vespa” in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure
EMERIL,
“overly enthusiastic drummer” in Back To The Future
GUY FIERI,
“annoying friend who showed up uninvited” in The Goonies
BOBBY FLAY,
“mean Cobra Kai bully #22″ in The Karate Kid
ALEX GUARNASCHELLI,
“evil monster #88″ in Zombieland
GIADA,
“crazy sauce lady on float” in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
INA GARTEN + MAN IN TIGHT JEANS
“snobby woman in all black in the middle of the summer” in Weekend At Bernies

Wow this is way too creative. Awesome!
As usual, Ina is my favorite. She would’ve reminded Bernie that even dead he still needs to use good ingredients.
The fellow with Ina looks like Chef Jose Andres. :) Fun stuff, Jillian!
With “real” vanilla! LOL These were too funny!! Loved the Duff (Bear) and the best was Cocktail with Aunt Sandy in the background!!! TOO FUNNY!!! Thanks for the laugh! keep up the great work.
That Dumb and Dumber one killed me. But I still love Claire.
“Overly Enthusiastic Drummer” = LOVE
I can’t decide which I love more… Dumb and Dummer, Weekend at Bernies or Pee Wee. Alex in Zombieland was almost too easy.
The Bobby Flay one was PERFECT! He looks just like someone who would have hung out will Billy Zabka (hope I spelled that right) back in the day.
That one was my favorite, too! And I LOVE Zabka – that really took me back :)
Holy crap, these are hilarious. Emeril as the overly enthusiastic drummer brought tears to my eyes, and bobby Flay as a Cobra Kai? PERFECT!
“Other spices do not exist in this dojo, do they?”
“Chi-pot-le!”
claire is purty.
True story.
That Alex one is fucking hilarious! OMG
LOL at Aunt Sandy because I knew what road Jillian was going down with this one. All of them really really funny.
Hilarious, more please!
I think I also saw Claire as an NFL analyst on ESPN last football season. Oh wait, that was Shannon Sharpe….
Claire on Twitter just confirmed she was in the Movie “the Rainmaker”. She said most of Her stuff was cut out and helped her pay for College
Wow that is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing the info.
Surprised she didn’t get a credit, then, especially if she had other scenes.
So she must be reading this stuff?
Good for her. And she was/is pretty.
But my favorite is crazy Rachael chasing PeeWee.
way cool
Guy Ferry/Goonies with that ridiculous look on his face. He takes douchebaggery to a whole new level.
lmao
Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero! Booby de Laurentiis ruins that scene – fall off Giada!
Aaah Duff without a shirt.
My eyes need to be burned.
Bobby and Alex were perfect!
Awesome Photoshopery. The Guy Ferry one cracked me up.
A few thoughts:
1) I know it’s photoshopped in, but please tell me they haven’t actually shown Duff Goldman’s naked nipples on a cooking channel? Is there any way to lose one’s appetite faster???
2) That absurd picture of Guy Fieri is hilarious in any context, but showing him as an invited Goonie is possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.
3) There is something so utterly hilarious about Bobby Flay being a Cobra Kai bully that I’m still laughing as I type this, and I have no idea why.
As Kenny Bania would say, “That’s gold, Jerry!”
2) meant to say “uninvited Goonie”
You have topped yourself on this one, dunno how that’s possible. I near popped a vein I laughed so hard. If pressed, guess I would have to say RayRay’s Great Adventure is my fave.
photo-chops are hilarious! Alex as a zombie and R.R. w/pee wee are superb!
LOL – as a point of clarification, Claire is a graduate of the University of MEMPHIS, not Tennessee (they are 2 different schools).
I have no idea where the rainman was filmed though.
don’t be misrepresenting my alma mater! we don’t want to claim her!
I’ll fix it! I really don’t know much about her, but I definitely should have checked my facts first! :)
You rock just for fixing it. :)
All I know about her is that she gets on my nerves. LOL.
Duff looks like the Ace of eating Cakes.
Sandra’s outfit is perfect for the bar…well done!
omg, so hilarious!
props too to john grisham for getting a memphis state university shirt (u of m’s old name). what’s really freaky though is how that was 13 years ago and she looks exactly the same!
just another excuse to punch the TV screen.
EMERIL FTW!
Sandra Lee one was hilarious.
Bobby Flay fit perfectly. Must be the hair.
The Sandra Lee one has me rolling!
I agree! Sandy was the best in the background getting her booze on! OMG! LOL
BAD foodnetwork humor! BAD! You DARE desacrate Ferris Buler’s Day’s off with trash like giada? FOR SHAME!
GO TO THE CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!
Oh good Lord Jillian, was it REALLY necessary to put a shirtless pic of Duff on here?? Do you have no decency?? But seriously, that’s vomtastic.
Wow, some times google works like a mind reading device or something. I googled that sweet little Claire because I too was wondering why she wasn’t listed in the scrollable chef thingy on the food network site. Behold, I am now here with more questions than when I arrived. What is the conspiracy that is being spun against this brooding temptress?
Claire might be a brooding temptress, but Jillian rocks the photochoppery.
I thought Duff played the guy who wrestled with Borat.
Wouldn’t it be great to see Ina in a DRESS!!
Even if it’s black! I can’t stand those shents,
black pants and orthopedic shoes.
HILARIOUS
Man, this made me laugh like hell
Outstanding work, Jillian! You rock! Love your sense of humor.
I think I hurt myself laughing! They were all fantastic!
These are great. I like the last one, that’s Ina Garten and an odd chef doing a drug deal.
