Two-time Oscar winner George Clooney celebrates his 56th today. One of his first significant screen roles was, rather ironically, on a short-lived 1984 CBS sitcom titled E/R. After playing a variety of film and television roles in the next 10 years, Clooney had his first big breakthrough when he was cast as Dr. Doug Ross on ER in 1994.
During his years on ER, Clooney’s film career took off. He had his first major big screen role as Seth Gecko in From Dusk Till Dawn, and also starred in The Peacemaker. The critical failure of Batman & Robin was only a minor speed bump for Clooney; he bounced back the next year in his first film with director Steven Soderbergh, a well-received Elmore Leonard adaptation.

Clooney has won a pair of Oscars, for Best Supporting Actor in Syriana and as a producer on Best Picture winner Argo. He has been nominated for Best Actor three times, and for both Best Director and Best Original Screenplay on Good Night, and Good Luck. He has continued to work regularly with Soderbergh, starring in Ocean’s Eleven and two sequels, and also made several films with the Coen Brothers, beginning with O Brother, Where Art Thou? He seems to direct a film about every three years; his Suburbicon, with a script cowritten by the Coens, comes out this fall.
