<p>Was watching Devil Wears Prada yesterday and came across the trivia that the protagonist was a Brown grad in the novel (though not in the movie). Set me wondering what other novels/movies featured characters from Brown. Here’s what I got for now :</p>
<p>Devil Wears Prada (x1)
Emperor’s Children (x3)
The O.C (x1)
Me, Myself and Irene (x1 - not too sure about this one, though)</p>
<p>Are there any others?</p>
<p>Family Guy
Although I guess that's not a novel or movie.</p>
<p>Gossip girl!</p>
<p>that hot older brother who bought his way in goes there</p>
<p>my best friend's wedding, both julia roberts and dermot mulrooney</p>
<p>the wedding date, dermot again</p>
<p>Fraser...I forget how, but there are a million references and people that went to Brown (the story takes place in Providence)</p>
<p>lol, i was just watching sex and the city tonight and there's a guy charlotte dates who keeps on adjusting his balls and she's like "i dont get it! he's from a nice family, he went to brown!!" but seriously, haven't met any ppl at brown who have problems with their crotch.</p>
<p>in anywhere but here, natalie portman's character wanted to go to brown. there are tons others though. at adoch, they showed us a slideshow of brown references in movies/tv shows.</p>
<p>Cocoa punk, Frasier? is set in Seattle, not in Providence.</p>
<p>bridget from sisterhood of travelling pants goes to brown.</p>
<p>the wedding date. the gigolo was from brown. i gave a loud "noooooooo!"/groan in the theatre when he said it and the people who were watching it with me wished they didnt know me at that point of time. hahaha</p>
<p>In a Simpsons episode, Lisa day dreams about failing a test and is told by the president of Harvard that she has no chance of getting in. He jokingly adds that he will pass her file along to Brown. Same episode you learn that Otto the bus driver went to Brown and almost got tenure.</p>
<p>Hollywood likes to portray us in a negative light, don't it?</p>
<p>the guy who plays jim from the office went to brown</p>
<p>we're forgetting some big ones, although they are mostly from when i was in high school</p>
<p>as good as it gets
outside providence (scene takes place on campus and multiple references throughout movie)
varsity blues
me, myself, and irene</p>
<p>multiple references on the west wing</p>

<p>The girl who plays her, you mean? That's interesting...haha I like that movie, I'm not going to lie...</p>
<p>what? why is Fred Durst making a movie? at Brown of all places?</p>
<p>fred durst? sounds bad ...</p>
<p>Oh! When I was at Brown this summer, I saw Fred Durst filming his movie..and a few people I know got asked to be extras on the set! Unfortunately I didn't, but I walked behind the camera a few times, heh.</p>
<p>Yeah, I met him this summer while I was at Brown!</p>
<p>I believe that the irishman from the Simpsons, who serves as the janitor, went to brown.</p>
