ET Online is reporting that George Clooney is set to make an appearance on the show that made him a star.
Sources confirm to Entertainment Tonight that George Clooney will be filming scenes for an appearance on “ER” this week.
Clooney rose to fame as Dr. Doug Ross on the show, which premiered in 1994, and last appeared uncredited in 2000.
The final episode of “ER” will air Thursday night, April 2 now that NBC has extended the season’s run by three extra episodes. A one-hour clip show retrospective will run just before the final episode airs.
It’s funny how many actors leave successful television shows in order to pursue a (more prestigious) film career yet so few actually go on to become big stars. Clooney is the poster boy for the move to the big screen, but several of his “ER” castmates (Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards, Sherry Stringfield, Julianna Margulies) were not so lucky.
Truth be told, I stopped watching “ER” a season or so ago and I’m glad that they’re finally wrapping things up. Maybe I’ll tune in to the last few episodes to see if Dr. Doug Ross pops his pretty head in.
