George Clooney
George Clooney, born May 6, 1961 (age 65), is an American actor. His role on the television series E.R. brought him to public attention. Perhaps due to his liberal politics, he has been chosen for prominent roles in movies, including the Perfect Storm (where he had very little dialog), Batman & Robin, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, and Ocean's Eleven. He has appeared in over 60 movies and TV shows.
Clooney supported Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential Election, and in 2012 held a massive fundraiser at his home for the reelection of Obama.
Clooney's outspoken views have led him to make statements that show questionable character, such as joking about Charlton Heston's Alzheimer's disease. He defended his actions afterwards, stating that Heston deserved it.[1] Heston replied that George should be careful, as he had as much chance of contracting the disease as anyone else.[2]
