Gary Condit had a bit part in Return Of The Killer Tomatoes

[Fenris]

From The Smoking Gun:

Condit makes an uncredited appearance in the 1988 cult classic "Return of the Killer Tomatoes." The film, a sequel to 1978's "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes," features George Clooney in one of his first film roles, and Rick Rockwell, the guy who wed a complete stranger on Fox's disastrous "Who Wants to Marry a Multi-millionaire." The movie's real stars, of course, are the bloodthirsty tomatoes bent on world domination.

The film was produced by Steve Peace, one of Condit's closest political allies (at the time, both men were members of the California state assembly).

Condit, who has no lines, appears in a bizarre fight scene that was shot in a pizza restaurant in Chula Vista (the heart of Peace's San Diego-area district). Dressed in a black windbreaker and wearing a Chicago Cubs cap, Condit is seated at a booth with a brawny co-worker (see below). Clooney is at the adjoining table, seated back-to-back with Condit.

Somehow, a fight breaks out between a trio of cowboys, three ninjas, and two karate experts. Simultaneously, Muammar Khadafy wrestles on the floor with Peace's character, one Wilbur Finletter (what, you thought Bergman wrote this stuff?). With the brawl raging around him and his friend, Condit gets into the action when a hapless combatant (from the Wild West team) gets throttled and lands at the base of his table.

Condit lifts the dazed cowboy's hat from his head, allowing his brawny buddy to crack a beer bottle over the prone man's noggin. Hooray for Hollywood.



Lunching with Rob Reiner is a traumatic experience. And is it any coincidence that Condit is dressed like a child molester/serial killer?



The great part about this is how well placed that beer bottle is. Clearly both men are drinking PEPSI (subtle product placement!) but I suppose we are to assume that either character knocked back a brew beforehand and placed it at the edge of the table.



Apparently this film was also an advertisement for KELLOGG'S brand Corn Flakes and acid-washed Gloria Vanderbilt jeans. LOOK THERE'S CLOONEY EATING CORN FLAKES!
