Re: Bob/Rainey real name?
is name in reall ive is Brian Dierker... he was on eof the stunt coordinators on Into The Wild... they trying to find a character for rainey, and emile looked at Brian Dierker, and thought he would be perfect! hes never acted in anything before or after into the wild :0 hes just a regular hippie d00d
Re: Bob/Rainey real name?
I also wondered why they changed the name for the movie, but it seems that Bob was the real name of Jan's boyfriend at the time. At least Krakauer didn't write anything about having changed the name (as he did for Ron Franz).
Anyway, he did definitely exist, because as far as I know, the stories told in the book are all true (which is not the case for everything in the movie), and Jan Burres also talked about this former boyfriend in an interview:

(Brian Dierker is just the name of the actor in the movie)

Re: Bob/Rainey real name?
oh haha yes your right! i thought he was asking who the actor was in real life, but yes Bob is the real person that Brian Dierker played. and Go North, maybe they wanted a more unique, hippie-like name for "Bob", and came up with Rainey
Re: Bob/Rainey real name?
Thanks, But is there a real full name for this man?
