Biography

George Clooney

George Timothy Clooney was born on May 6, 1961, in Lexington, Kentucky, to Nina Bruce (née Warren), a former beauty pageant queen, and Nick Clooney, a former anchorman and television host (who was also the brother of singer Rosemary Clooney). He has Irish, English, and German ancestry. Clooney spent most of his youth in Ohio and Kentucky, and graduated from Augusta High School. He was very active in sports such as basketball and baseball, and tried out for the Cincinnati Reds, but was not offered a contract.After his cousin, Miguel Ferrer, got him a small role in a feature film, Clooney began to pursue acting. His first major role was on the sitcom E/R (1984) as Ace. More roles soon followed, including George Burnett, the handsome handyman on The Facts of Life (1979); Booker Brooks, a supervisor on Roseanne (1988); and Detective James Falconer on Sisters (1991). Clooney had his breakthrough when he was cast as Dr. Doug Ross on the award-winning drama series Ostry dyżur (1994), opposite Anthony Edwards, Noah Wyle and Julianna Margulies.While filming "ER" (1994), Clooney starred in a number of high profile film roles, such as Robert Rodriguez's Od zmierzchu do świtu (1996), and Szczęśliwy dzień (1996), opposite Michelle Pfeiffer. In 1997, Clooney took on the role of Batman in Joel Schumacher's Batman i Robin (1997). The film was a moderate success in the box office, but was slammed by critics, notably for the nipple-laden Batsuit. Clooney went on to star in Steven Soderbergh's Co z oczu, to z serca (1998), Terrence Malick's Cienka czerwona linia (1998), and David O. Russell's Złoto pustyni (1999).In 1999, Clooney left "ER" (1994) (though he would return for the season finale) and appeared in a number of films, including Bracie, gdzie jesteś? (2000), Gniew oceanu (2000) and Ocean's Eleven:...
