Celebrities Actors George Clooney

George Timothy Clooney (born May 6, 1961) is an American actor, director, producer, and screenwriter, who gained fame as one of the lead doctors in the long-running television drama, ER (1994–99), as Anthony Edwards’s character’s best friend and partner, Dr. Douglas “Doug” Ross. He is best known for his subsequent rise as an “A-List” movie star in contemporary American cinema. Winner of an Academy Award and two Golden Globes, Clooney has balanced his glamorous performances in big-budget blockbusters with work as a producer and director behind commercially riskier projects, as well as social and political activism. On January 18, 2008, the United Nations announced Clooney’s appointment as a United Nations peace envoy. He is known for his close association with most of the A-list elite including Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Julia Roberts, Casey Affleck, the Coen Brothers, and Steven Soderbergh.
