Born George Timothy Clooney on May 6, 1961, this Lexington, Kentucky native now calls Sonning Eye, Oxfordshire, England his home along with his wife, British human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Clooney's acting career began in the late 1970s, but it wasn't until he was cast as Dr. Doug Ross on the medical drama "ER" from (1994 - 1999) that he became a household name. Clooney leveraged his small-screen fame to big-screen projects, such as the 1997 film "Batman & Robin" and 1999's "Three Kings".
His list of recent Hollywood projects is long indeed, but some of the most notable are the "Ocean's Eleven" series ("Eleven" in 2001, "Twelve" in 2004, and "Thirteen" in 2007). But if you're interested in a less well-known Clooney flick, you may enjoy watching the quirky 2008 film "Burn After Reading". Regardless of what Clooney movie you come across, it's sure to be a great one!
