IIRC though, his whole thing with Claire was that he really saw something, and it freaked his shit right out.
That's my recollection too.
Yes, this. But, since he's an admitted charlatan, there's no reason he couldn't have been faking all of that, knowing it's how he'd get Claire to believe him. He certainly could have been hired by Dharma. Remember, we have only seen him in flashbacks. They would be from Claire's POV. If he fooled her, it makes sense that he would seem authentic to us.
Oh, and per imdb, the character's name is Richard Malkin (actor: Nick Jameson) and yes, was Claire's psychic.
I have to go sit in the I-like-Jack corner, now. It's such a lonely spot.
I'll keep you company. We can pass him back and forth and we won't share with ANYONE.
I don't agree. I have to go sit in the I-like-Jack corner, now. It's such a lonely spot.
I think I'm in the adjacent I-like-to-look-at-Jack corner.
Sail, you have the best ideas.
Matt, you can be our cabana boy, if you like.
Wheee!

Me, please! Share with me! I like Jack. I'ma get a "I like Jack and I'm not ashamed to admit it" T-shirt, I think.
I also like to look at him, though.
I knew y'all would know how the psychic fit in and I wouldn't have to do any pesky research.
No one better even plan to take any women to that cursed beach, eh? Poor Hurley.
