Knowing is half the battle. And if you don’t know who Rachel Nichols is, you will soon'she’s taking on the role of leading lady Scarlett in the forthcoming live-action movie adaptation of G.I. Joe. For the buxom red-head who’s most famous for her role on Alias, going from espionage to the military is a fitting transition.

According to G.I. Joe lore, Scarlett was Duke’s love interest, but didn’t have a heavy presence in the 1987 animated movie. We’ll see how things change in the Greatest American Hero’s world when the new movie drops in August 2009. In the meantime, watch a clip (after the jump) from Dumb & Dumberer of Rachel in a hot tub making out with Tom Cruise’s first wife.
