George Clooney is an American actor, director, and producer. He started out with small parts in films, and went on to his first major role with the television show E/R in 1984. More television roles followed, until he had his major breakthrough as Dr. Doug Ross on ER in 1994. While filming ER, he took on roles in many high profile films such as Batman and Robin and Out of Sight. After leaving ER, he continued with his film roles, filming movies such as Ocean's Eleven, which spawned two sequels. With Ocean's Eleven director Steve Soderbergh, Clooney founded the production company Section Eight Productions, which he used to produce his directorial debut, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. Section Eight was later shut down, and Clooney formed another production company, Smokehouse Productions, with his friend Grant Heslov. He went on to star in many acclaimed films such as Up in the Air and The Descendants, giving him an Oscar win and nomination. Clooney is also known for his political activism and humanitarian work, having been a United Nations Messenger of Peace, an advocate for the Darfur conflict, and an organizer of the Hope for Haiti telethon.
