Pretty accomplished actor the guy was too (dont know why Im talking like Yoda)...Took me a while to match a face with the name, but he played a great scumbag in Michael Clayton.

As well as being a fine director actor he was a great actor. His recent role as the hardnosed corporate attorney in Michael Clayton was terrific (actually I think this is one of the best films I've seen for a long time. Certainly Clooney's finest performance so far).

I'm getting to appreciate George Clooney more and more with each passing year. Not that everything he touches is great, but a decent portion is. It all started for me with everything he had to do with Good Night and Good Luck, a movie that perfectly captures the 1950's.
