A backhanded compliment.

George Clooney is an American actor, filmmaker and producer whose career has spanned television, cinema and humanitarian work for more than four decades.
After gaining international recognition as Dr Doug Ross in the television series ‘ER’, Clooney established himself as one of Hollywood’s leading actors with acclaimed performances in films including ‘Ocean’s Eleven’, ‘Syriana’, ‘Michael Clayton’, ‘Up in the Air’ and ‘The Descendants’. He has also built a distinguished career behind the camera, directing films such as ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’ and ‘The Ides of March’. A two-time Academy Award winner, Clooney is recognised for balancing commercial success with critically acclaimed projects while remaining an outspoken advocate for human rights and international humanitarian causes.
