George Clooney Tobacco Cutter

George Clooney Tobacco Cutter-----George Clooney worked a summer job cutting tobacco which he describes as miserable. Clooney was born in Georgetown, Kentucky on May 6, 1961. Clooney grew up on the set of his father's shows, occasionally serving as a commercial pitchman and sketch player, before later working as a floor manager.

With dreams of becoming a professional baseball player, Clooney was invited to tryout for the Cincinnati Reds in 1977 when he was just 16.

Clooney made the jump to films while still on the series, quickly establishing himself as a major Hollywood player with leading roles in From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), Batman & Robin (1997) and Out of Sight (1998).

When he left the confines of the small screen for big screen pastures, Clooney transcended mere stardom to become one of the most prominent actors of his era, emulating the devil-may-care nonchalance of a Cary Grant or Clark Gable, while at the same time, becoming an Academy Award-winning performer, risk-taking director, and socially-conscious activist.

The 50-year-old, Clooney is strongly tipped for an Oscar for his latest film The Descendants, said acting was a breeze compared to his early careers cutting tobacco or selling insurance.
