There is was an Esquire article that came out in March, where the journalist had him do an web search on himself at various websites and some fan pages. It was really funny because he read the good and bad and made interesting comments. So you never know ;) And to the haters...please go elsewhere, the negative comments are getting old. :P

enough people just enough! what's the hell is wrong? he must be really busy with his "more than 1 career" he is an actor , director , producer and he is the "U.N Messenger of piece" soooo anyone on his place would try to but unfortunately he had on time , plus he loves his fans , see how much time he stands in his movie premiers and in festivals just to sign their autographs to make them happy and not to make their indeed hungry? i think he is such a great person and if he has a time i am sure he will surprise us , he will always have a special place in my heart :)

jude you got me on that question putting it like that but in a way their is a difference he is a millionaire who probably has more than enough time than your average joe, but i mean i could careless just wanted to comment, lol i too think he is very unattractive don't get the appeal

Yeah, but pink, why? I mean, if you got your career break working for Company A, and then moved on to other things, would you feel obligated to go back to Company A if they asked you to, giving up whatever other career moves you could have done during that time, just because you got your career break there? I'm not being nasty; it's a serious question. I really don't get why people feel he's obligated to go back. Is it more just that his fans from that show feel he's obligated to go back, for them? :? Oh, and I agree with you completely that he is a most unattractive man.

i cannot stand actors who hit big on a show and then are too good to go back, i knew there was a reason i couldn't stand him oh and the fact that i think he is ugly good for the pitt-jolie i can never knock them when it comes to their generosity

Jude-C 8 years

I don't think he's obligated to come back to the series just because it's the one where he made it big. It's not like the show's producers did him a favor by hiring him. He had the talent for the part and put the work in back then. He doesn't owe them anything. I don't even like Clooney that much, but I just wanted to say that.

Let's not forget that besides his busy movie career, that George is a human rights advocate. He was just named the U.N. "messenger of peace", so who knows how much traveling that entails. He did ER, it made him a household name and a star, thank God! Anthony Edwards wishes his schedule was so swamped. (I'm not knocking him, I do like the guy) I'm pretty sure if he had time he would do it. I wouldn't hold my breath or bet on him returning, but I've watched enough television in my life to know that there could be a surprise during the May sweeps. :)

george should remember where he came from, the most annoying part is the "he is busy with his movie career" sounds so snobbish.

cibele 8 years

Yes, he owns to the show! It would be nice if all the actors showed up after 12 years of this show. But he's such a diva, i guess he has a lot to do (like sailing in France or hanging out in his italian villa).

Papaver 8 years

oh George, why not! You are a star thanks to ER...

Clooney seems a little ungrateful...that show made him a star. He doesn't need to do a recurring guest appearance, he could just pop in for a quick cameo to say goodbye. Yay for the Jolie-Pitts! They've been donating a lot lately.

Islander71 8 years

Steven Speilburg makes 10 times the amount the Jollie/Pitts make and he only donates 100,000 while they donate a million? He didn't or miss that 100,000 a bit. It was less than a drop in the bucket. He did it so he could say he did it and shut a lot of people up who were bugging him.

George already went back for a goodbye cameo with Julianna.. he did his token return.. I am sure if it didn't clash with something he already had scheduled he would be there... I can't believe ER is still on WTF?
