2005 was a great year for George Clooney. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for his directing in Good Night, and Good Luck and his acting in Syriana.

Clooney was in a television studio at an early age going to work with his father, Cincinnati newscaster Nick Clooney. His aunt Rosemary Clooney was a huge star in the time as well. He studied at Northern Kentucky University and tried out for the Cincinnati Reds before deciding on acting.

Clooney had parts in smaller films and guest spots in television for much of the 1980's, including a role in a short lived show called E/R, with Seinfeld actor Jason Alexander. Roles like this helped land Clooney a role in another show called ER, but this time the show was a huge hit and made Clooney a star.

Clooney eventually got back into films with work in Batman & Robin, O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Ocean's Eleven.

This year Clooney acted in Syriana and was a triple threat in Good Night, and Good Luck, acting, producing and director the film.
