George Clooney's next role could land him a prize for best supporting pal.

The Oscar winner's rep tells E! News that Clooney is willing to get buddy Rande Gerber's back if a sexual-harassment lawsuit against Gerber (aka Mr. Cindy Crawford) winds up going to trial.

Turns out Clooney was with Gerber the night of the alleged incident at the center of the lawsuit brought by waitresses at the Moonstone Lounge in the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego. The servers claim they were fired after refusing Gerber's attempts to kiss them and feel them up.

"George 100 percent supports Rande Gerber's position that what they say happened that night never happened," says Rosenfield, adding that if Clooney is called to testify on his friend’s behalf, he will be there.

Clooney is expected to release his own statement later today.
