When George Clooney hit it big as pediatrician Doug Ross in the blockbuster television series "ER," critics hailed him a breakout star. But by then, he had already starred in several TV series (including "Roseanne" and "Sisters") and B movies.Clooney gained a reputation as a gifted actor years after he moved to Hollywood from Kentucky, where he was born May 6, 1961.

For his work in 2009's Up in the Air, Clooney copped Golden Globe, Oscar and BAFTA nominations as Best Actor.
