That led to Clooney becoming one of Hollywood’s most successful actors for over a decade. He has starred in box office success stories, such as the Ocean’s Eleven movies, while earning eight Oscar nominations for his more critically acclaimed work, including four for his work as an actor, two as a writer, one as a director, and a Best Picture win for producing Argo.

Quentin Tarantino helped George Clooney make his jump from television to the big screen when he and Robert Rodriguez cast him in Fron Dusk Till Dawn. Tarantino directed the portion of the movie, which played out like a crime thriller, with Clooney and Tarantino starring as the Gecko Brothers, who were on the run from the police and found a bar on the Mexican border to hide out. Rodriguez then directed the film’s second half, which turned into a vampire horror story where the bar was a vampire hangout and the humans were victims.
Clooney was playing against type, as the cool, yet evil Seth Gecko, someone who could charm anyone and then put a bullet in someone in the blink of an eye. It was a nice introduction for him to big-budget Hollywood movies and helped lead to other crime dramas in the future, like Out of Sight and Ocean’s Eleven. While the movie was only a minor box-office success and received mixed reviews, it remains a cult classic. Clooney won Best Actor at the Fangoria and Saturn Awards and a Breakthrough Performance Award at the MTV Movie Awards.

Unlike many departing cast members from medical dramas like ER and Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Ross didn’t die; he instead resigned from his position and moved out of state. During his five seasons on the show, Clooney earned two Primetime Emmy Award nominations (1995, 1996) and three Golden Globe nominations (1995, 1997, 1998). Clooney left ER so he could try his luck in Hollywood, which was the best decision of his career.

Most of George Clooney’s movies have been awards-caliber offerings, but in 2001, he starred in his most popular mainstream movie release. Interestingly, this is also the case for director Steven Soderbergh, who spent most of his career making interesting and often experimental indie films, only to make a huge box office blockbuster with Ocean’s Eleven. Clooney stars as Danny Ocean, a thief who gets out of jail and immediately puts together a team to pull off a massive heist at a Las Vegas casino.
