Paul Mc Donald”s study of the actor-filmmaker George Clooney traces the star”s career, from his role in the hit television medical drama
ER to his dual screen persona, allowing him to move seamlessly from commercial hits such as
Out of Sight (1998) and
Ocean”s Eleven (2001) to more offbeat roles in such films as
Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000). Mc Donald also considers Clooney”s political activism and his roles in such explicity political films as
Three Kings (1999) and S
yriana (2005), as well as his work as a producer of films including
Argo (2012) and as director of
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002);
Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) and
Suburbicon (2017) among others.
Mc Donald places Clooney in the context of the Hollywood star system, considering the argument that Clooney”s star persona has many similarities with that of Classical Hollywood movie stars such as Cary Grant, but also addresses Clooney as a very 21st century transmedia celebrity.
