George Clooney Career

He won minor roles in television shows such as The Facts of Life, Roseanne, and The Golden Girls. Clooney’s first major role was on the sitcom E/R in 1984—not to be confused with his star-making role on the NBC drama ER, which began in 1994. 

While still on ER, Clooney appeared in a number of films, including From Dusk til Dawn, One Fine Day, and Out of Sight. He succeeded Val Kilmer as Batman, though he appeared only in one Batman film. He appeared in ER from 1994-1999 and then again in 2000 and 2009. He appeared in a total of 109 episodes.

In 1999, he left ER and had a series of box office successes, including his most popular to date, Ocean’s 11. He appeared in the film Syriana in 2005, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. 

That same year, he was also nominated both for writing and directing Good Night, and Good Luck, and became the first person in Oscar history to be nominated for directing a film and acting in another, in the same year. 

Since 2013, Clooney has appeared in a number of commercials for Nespresso. He has also spent a portion of each paycheck to fund a spy satellite that appears over Sudan at all times. This allows him to keep an eye on Sudanese dictator Omar al-Bashir who has been charged with hate crimes. The satellite not only tracks Bashir personally, it also tracks his armed forces to anticipate movements and potential human rights violations.
