overview
George Clooney is a talented actor, director screenwriter and activist who has appeared in many successful films like “Ocean’s Eleven” and its two sequels. He’s done highly-acclaimed films like “The Good German,” “Michael Clayton,” and “Good Night, and Good Luck.” He’s gone edgy with others like “Three Kings” and “Syriana.” And of course there’s the television drama responsible for his meteoric rise to fame, “ER,” on which he starred from 1994 – 1999.
Not always content with safe choices, George has also gone out on an artistic limb with odd films like “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” He does seem to excel in the role of the charming hustler — whether that’s in a hospital or in a casino.
George is also an outspoken political-activist who has done a tremendous amount to raise awareness about several issues including the genocide currently taking place in the Sudan.
George has long been considered one of the most eligible bachelors in Hollywood. Recently he’s been romantically linked to a young woman named Sarah Larsen.
