message: I don't think that the bit about Clooney's villa being a safehouse for the Shining Path guerillas should be included unless a reliable source is cited.

Unless I missed it, there does not seem to be any mention of his relation to Rosemary Clooney. I would think that fact is significant enough to be mentioned in the article, especially since early in his career that was something he was well known for. Mcr29 18:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

message: under the Medical problems section the writer states that Clooney has been unable to get insurance to cover the previously uknown damage incurred on his neck during a torture scene in Syriana and that he mortgaged his house to cover the medical expenses. Is this really true, because from what I've read, Clooney's a multi-millionaire (residuals from E.R. plus his previous " (high salary" and points bonuses starring in films).
:I agree. I've never heard of this, and I read all the various Hollywood trades. Perhaps that needs to be trimmed unless it's verified. Jeff Fenstermacher 23:23, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clooney's "financial" situation 

message: Hi:
I think there's one episode of ER that warrents a mention: the one where most of the episode is spent in a park where Clooney's trying to rescue child trapped in a wading pool. This "action" episdoe" really lit the fuse on his career. Next, there's a section on the Peacemaker DVD where Clooney talks about his career post ER where he says he's at a point where he has to make very important decisions in the next two or three years. He then went on to do interesting things like Fail Safe, a live TV production.
Hi:
I agree this was a great episode.
: Also agree.  An unforgettable hour of television.  BTW, when you post, please sign by using 4 tildes (~~~~) Slowmover 16:08, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm just curious as to how people perceive what he said in his acceptance speech as controversial.  What he said was pretty much true in my book. Batman2005 05:30, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

message: "he did not achieve stardom until he was selected to play the devilish Doug Ross on the NBC hit drama ER."
I wonder whether we couldn't find a better word here than "devilish".

thread_title:  No mention of his trip to Darfur? 

message: Someone or some editors hereabouts apparently object to identifying GC with liberalism despite the fact that the man himself proudly identifies himself as a "liberal" and thinks it has been a mistake for Democrats and progressives to run from the label.
Here is the entry I had suggested which has been repeatedly removed or edited:
Mr. Clooney is a self-professed political "liberal".  Indeed, he has complained that political progressives have allowed the term to be viewed as a pejorative, saying: "Too many people run away from the label. They whisper it like you'd whisper, 'I'm a Nazi.'  I am a liberal. Fire away." 
Cutting back the entry to the current "Mr. Clooney is a self-professed political 'liberal.'" and removing the link leaves the passage open to later revision on the grounds that the characterization is subjective and/or unverifiable - which may be the ultimate objective of those who have repeatedly removed and/or edited the passage I had suggested.
Two quibbles, one spelling, one grammar. As it reads now, GC is a "self-posessed liberal". I assume that what is intended is self-professed, though there is no denying that GC's public persona is very self-posessed. There is also no need for the quotes around the word liberal. Much like you would not put quotes around conservative in the same context.--Nufftin 21:56, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
