Before that he was just another struggling actor. He is famous not so much for his talent (which is considerable), but for who he is: an old fashioned movie star who is handsome, debonair, charming, wry, urbane plus he has a sense of humor and real integrity when it comes to making thought provoking, intelligent films (Batman & Robin aside, but no one really blames him for that debacle). As an actor he will always be George Clooney up on screen, but it is his choices as a director and producer that are the most interesting.

He's fairly one-dimensional, in that he always seems to play himself, but that's good enough for me. I think he’s great, I’ve always liked him.

I think he is a passable actor. I don;t think he truly has "acting" chops, because he rarely ever plays characters that are very far outside of his personality. I think he gets by on his charm and charisma, which isn't necessarily a bad thing-- look at Cary Grant. This may be obvious, but I'll take a Christian Bale or Russel Crowe over him any day. Believe it or not, one of my favorite films of his is the box-office dud "Solaris". Go figure. Eh… I think he is a passable actor.

I just don't like him. His performances tend to sit onscreen and bore me. I’ve never been a Clooney fan. I just don’t like him. His performances tend to sit onscreen and bore me.
