Clooney attended the Beverly Hills Playhouse acting school for five years during this time.

Clooney came to fame on the hit NBC medical drama ER from 1994 to 1999. He appeared alongside Anthony Edwards, Julianna Margulies, and Noah Wyle. He made a cameo appearance in the 6th season and returned for a guest spot in the show's final season after leaving the series in 1999. In 1995 and 1996, Clooney received two Primetime Emmy Award nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. In 1995, 1996, and 1997 (losing to co-star Anthony Edwards), he also received three Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Actor – Television Series Drama.

When working on ER, Clooney first appeared in films. His first major Hollywood role was in the horror comedy-crime thriller From Dusk to Dawn, directed by Robert Rodriguez and co-starring Harvey Keitel. He followed its popularity with Michelle Pfeiffer's romantic comedy One Fine Day and Nicole Kidman's action-thriller The Peacemaker.

For his appearance, he was nominated for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy at the Golden Globe Awards.

"Clooney has successfully avoided being named People magazine's sexiest man alive" by deliberately choosing programs that avoid this image, according to famed critic Roger Ebert. His collaboration with Soderbergh, both as an actor and co-producer, gives a glimpse of the challenge."

ALISON BOSHOFF: Sharon Stone pledges to leave USA if Donald Trump is elected US President in November

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 26, 2024
The saying goes that politics is showbusiness for ugly people - but the beautiful people of Hollywood have been getting deeply involved in the recent political turmoil in the U.S. George Clooney hosted a fundraiser for President Joe Biden - and then urged him to quit days before he did so. Since then, Jamie Lee Curtis and singer Katy Perry have thrown their weight behind Biden's Vice President, Kamala Harris, and Robert De Niro has also weighed in, saying: 'There is nothing more important for our country than defeating Donald Trump at the ballot box.'

DAN HODGES: Kamala's bid will be seen through the prism of America's toxic gender and race war. And it's the liberal supporters who may prove her undoing...

US progressives think it's the game-changer they've been praying for. 'Total Meltdown!' roared MSNBC, as the liberal news outlet struggled - and failed - to contain its excitement over the realisation that Kamala Harris was now her party's presidential nominee. 'GOP and Trump campaign panic as VP Kamala Harris energises voters,' the network reported gleefully. At the same time, Hollywood's A-listers were stampeding to deliver their breathless endorsements. 'We're all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest,' George Clooney gushed to CNN. They should all, to use a favoured American colloquialism, 'cool their jets'. Before Joe Biden's dramatic but belated announcement he was quitting the race, Democratic hopes were going up in flames. Harris has merely snatched them from the fireplace and placed them firmly back in the frying pan.
