George Timothy Clooney was born on May 6, 1961, in Lexington, Kentucky. He is of German, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. His mother, Nina Bruce, was a beauty pageant contestant and city councilwoman. His father, Nick Clooney, worked as a television host and news anchor. George's extended family includes notable entertainers: his aunt, Rosemary Clooney, was a celebrated singer, and his uncle, José Ferrer, was an Academy Award-winning actor.
Clooney was raised in a devout Roman Catholic household but later identified as agnostic. During his early teens, he suffered from Bell's Palsy, a temporary facial paralysis, which he eventually overcame. He began his college education at Northern Kentucky University in 1979, studying broadcast journalism, and later attended the University of Cincinnati, though he did not graduate. Before pursuing acting full-time, Clooney held various jobs, including selling insurance, women's shoes, and cutting tobacco.
Clooney made his on-screen debut as an extra in the television miniseries Centennial in 1978. After several smaller television roles, he gained widespread recognition playing Dr. Doug Ross on the NBC medical drama ER, a role that earned him multiple Emmy nominations and launched his Hollywood career.
He transitioned successfully to film with roles in From Dusk till Dawn (1996), One Fine Day (1996), The Peacemaker (1997), and Batman & Robin (1997). His later performances in films such as Three Kings (1999) and The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) cemented his status as a respected actor.
