   yes it would be nice to have jobs we really like but only the few can be   
   that lucky...and i agree in part that George is lucky to be able to choose   
   the  films he wants to make . I have read numerous article about actor and   
   there's one thing they all have in common is that actors ego they all want   
   BIG careers and George is no exception, I'm sure he doesn't mind these small   
   films but I'm sure he would love a really big film where he's not the 3rd   
   choice, sooner or later George is going to trier of films that don't   
   generate that buzz that makes the people in hollywood stand up and take   
   notice that George clooney is a real player who has the goods to back him,.   
   yes he has had a few hits but these hits weren't based on acting abilities   
   even George would say this.And the ones that did, didn't have him in it .   
      
   I also believe that ones personal life does inpac on how serious an actor   
   will be taken not only in hollywood but by the general public, in time both   
   get bored with these antic....
