George Clooney is an American actor, film director, producer, and screenwriter who has an estimated net worth $500 million. As a remarkably intelligent and capable actor and a director of surprising skill and intuition, Clooney has almost completely exempted himself from criticism. He is best known internationally as the star of the Ocean’s Eleven, Ocean’s Twelve and Ocean’s Thirteen films.
Prior to his success in the big screen, Clooney started out on television in 1978, where he played the role of Dr. Doug Ross on the medical drama ER, from 1994 to 1999. He gained wide recognition in his performance, which earned him two Primetime Emmy Award nominations. His break in films came with a lead role in FromDusktillDawn in 1996 and Out of Sight in 1998. The latter was his first of many works with director Steven Soderbergh.
George Clooney has won three Golden Globe Awards and an Academy Award. The ladies man used to have a “one for them, one for me” philosophy when it came to picking projects. Now, he seems to be solely focused on personal films.
He was born George Timothy Clooney on May 6, 1961, in Lexington, Fayette, Kentucky to parents Nick Clooney, a TV newscaster, and talk-show host, and Nina Bruce, a former Miss Kentucky pageant runner-up. He attended University of Cincinnati but did not graduate.
