George Clooney
- Born: 6 May, 1961
The decade-long career in series TV, generally in forgettable roles, finally paid off for handsome George Clooney when he landed the regular starring role as the charming but troubled pediatrician Doug Ross on the acclaimed NBC medical series "ER" in 1994. This scion of a show business family--his father Nick is a broadcast journalist and on-air host, his aunt Rosemary is a singer and actress and cousin Miguel Ferrer is an actor--grew up on the set of his father's local Cincinnati shows, occasionally serving as a commercial pitchman and sketch player and later working as a floor manager.
