*Ann August (played by Natalie Portman) - central character in "Anywhere but Here"; daughter of Adele August (played by Susan Sarandon). Ann applies and is accepted to Brown, much to her mother's dismay over the distance.
*Clippy - Microsoft Office Assistant represented as an animated paperclip, who, according to his résumé, has a degree in art-semiotics from Brown, where he "graduated "cum laude" with a performing arts thesis that involved twisting myself into a representation of Michelangelo's "David"
*Amy Gardner (played by Mary-Louise Parker) - women's rights activist and later Chief of Staff to the First Lady Abbey Bartlet in the television series "The West Wing". Gardner was asked by the First Lady where she got "such a smart mouth", to which Gardner quickly replied "Brown."
*Brian Griffin (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) - erudite, alcoholic dog from the animated television series "Family Guy"; dropped out one class short of graduating; re-enrolls and fails in the episode "Brian Goes Back to College"
*Nick Mercer (played by Dermot Mulroney) - a male escort hired by Kat Ellis (played by Debra Messing) to be her date to her sister's wedding in the film "The Wedding Date". Mercer graduated from Brown with a degree in Comparative Literature.

Ultimately however, Seth was rejected and Summer was accepted.
*Linda (played by Marisa Tomei) and Andrew (played by Allen Covert) are Brown alums in the movie "Anger Management". Linda is Adam Sandler's girlfriend, and Andrew has been Linda's best friend since they dated at Brown. Andrew emasculates Sandler by forcing him to admit that he attended Trenton Community College, asking "where did you go to school again?" In another scene, Andrew tells Linda that "I rented out the entire sports bar. I thought it would be fun if it was just us Brown alums." He also tries to drum up their old romance by saying, "Do you remember back at Brown when we went up to see the Red Sox game?" In the movie, Sandler describes a Red Sox bra as "represent [ing] everything that I hate." Jack Nicholson, whose character went to Columbia University, reinforces the New York v. New England/Brown motif when he tells Sandler "Andrew is gonna try and recreate those hotsy-totsy nights up at Brown U."

Stark asks if she attended Berkeley, but she corrects him and says "Brown, actually." Later, she appears again, to tell Stark of the Ten Rings in Gulmira and at the end, suspecting Stark of being Iron Man.
* In Hamlet 2, the main character, a drama teacher assumes a Latino student is a gangster. In actuality, his father is an accomplished author and he gained early admission to Brown.
