Hollywood heartthrob George Clooney has nullified rumors he is to return to the TV drama E.R. - branding speculation about a possible comeback a "myth".

Clooney shot to stardom playing Dr. Doug Ross on the hit NBC drama for five years from 1994. He went on to carve out a successful movie career, winning an Oscar for 2005 film Syriana. However despite the TV show's success, the award-winning actor denies any future plans to reprise his former role.

He says, "That's a myth I'm afraid."

He probably looks down on tv now even though he used it to shoot himself to fame. :rolleyes:

Exactly, ER made him a movie star, so he should repay the favor and do a cameo for the show that helped launch his career.

If they were to bring anyone else back, George Clooney would be at the bottom of my list. He was good and all, but he ran his course. There wouldn't be any logical reason for him to come back; He's with Carol and the twins. Mark Greene is long gone (and definitely won't be returning). And Doug resigned before they could fire him. It would just be a way to grab ratings. ER could use the numbers, but I wouldn't want it to happen that way. I'd prefer another helicopter! I would love it if George would write and direct a few episodes though.
