Robert Cray on his Animal House Appearance,
and the Beginning of the Blues Brothers
“It’s a classic now, but back when the
movie Animal House was shot, nobody had any idea it was
going to be so big,” says Robert Cray. “My band and I were
living in Eugene, Oregon, at that time, and some lady came
up and asked me if I wanted to be in a film. I
sarcastically said, ‘Yeah, right.’ But, sure enough, she
called back a few months later to ask if I could make
rehearsals. They needed black guys to play the members of
Otis Day’s band, the Knights. We got fitted for outfits,
and we were on the set for three days. That’s me on bass,
although I’m not really playing."
