The Last
Great Actor
S hooting to prominence as the swooned over Dr.
Doug Ross on the television series ER, his mixture
of stunning good looks and on and off-screen
charm secured George Clooney a place amongst
the world's sought after stars.
His stellar television success led to success in feature flicks
such as Tarantino’s From Dusk Till Dawn, One Fine Day with
Michelle Pfeiffer, The Peacemaker with Nicole Kidman and Joel
Schumacher's Batman & Robin; all of which rocketed him to
superstar status and opened the door to highly acclaimed film
roles.
He has been nominated for numerous Oscars and Golden
Globes and has received many accolades from the entertainment
industry internationally. He received his first Golden Globe for
Best Actor in O Brother, Where Art Thou? and his first Academy
Award as Best Supporting Actor in Syriana. In the 2011 film
The Descendants, he earned the Golden Globe for Best Actor.
In 2012 he received his second Oscar as co-producer of the Best
Picture of the Year, the Ben Affleck-directed Argo. Subsequently
we admired him in the box office smash hit Gravity.
“But I´m kind of comfortable
with getting older because it is
better than the other option...”
-George Clooney
