"There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on."

This quote makes my day. No.. make that week.
Seems very true

Funniest damn thing I have ever heard… I
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THIS PHONEY DICK WAD???
WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK ABOUT THIS PHONEY DICK WAD???
what a sexy old man
third? GOD he is hot!!
OOH burn.
George is showing his age — there IS a caste lower than Reality Show Actors
– it's called the papparazzi actors
– you know
– Britney, Lilo, Paris, celebuspawn like Rumer, all the z-listers waiting to get into clubs. etc.
CAN'T WAIT to see what the sleaze below THAT level will be!!!!!
AMERICA how low CAN we sink!!!!!
I can't stand this guy but I have to admit that was a funny quote.
oh, and continuing on from my earlier post
– let's not forget the REHABBERs!!!!!
Love George's wit. Always a little truth somewhere in the humor.
Gotta like George Clooney. He always seems to tell it like it is or at least the way he sees it. He doesn't ever seem to be full of s#@t, and he always does it with great sense of humor and humility. He has to be considered one of the coolest A-listers in Hollywood.
I {heart} George. I {effing despise} reality shows.
HE HAS GOT TO BE KIDDING
IF NOT……THEN EFF U GEORGE
Loves to look at George!
if only I were older, a lot older. andd he is funny
A stage trained thespian is a true actor. They are also the least paid and least appreciated….and the least attractive…..you need to be pretty for a close up!!!!!
this was in newsweek…
three weeks ago.
I love watching George..ever since he was in the Facts of Life (Yes…I'm ancient too!), loved him on Roseanne, and ER, and most of his movies. He is the original McDreamy!
He's just keeping it real.
Wasn't his girlfriend on a reality show? Fear Factor was it? I wonder how she feels about what he said….
Cloones gave me AIDS.
LOL!! Good one!!
who cares what this queer thinks?he's just an overestimated asshole and that's all.i shouldn't even waste my time commenting on the bullshit he says.

THAT'S MEAN BECAUSE REALITY STARS ARE REAL PEOPLE. REAL PEOPLE WHO WATCH GEORGE CLOONEY MOVIES. IS LOOKING DOWN ON THE PEOPLE WHO PUT MONEY IN HIS POCKETS?
#32 - DAYUMMMM says – reply to this

u must be old because i've never said i wished i was older so i could lust over some old dude.
haha thats funny lol= )
It sounds like he still sort of classifies himself as a tv actor. I kind of like that he hasn't forgotten his roots. To me his best role ever was as Doug Ross on ER. Soap opera actors/actresses are pretty looked down on.
George Clooney does have a way of expressing himself with humor and class. He has been a class act from his early days as a TV actor to his present days as a movie actor and producer and director.
lolol! Okay..that shit was funny….
PEOPLE!!! IT WAS A JOKE!!! LIGHTEN UP!!! (lol)
*
I read the article where he made this quote. It was in my last NEWSWEEK magazine, and was purely intended as a JOKE!!!!
*
PEREZ, PLEASE GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT and explore the contexts of comments before you put them on your blog and try to make somebody look like an asshole. George Clooney is a cool dude. He has always worked tirelessly for human rights! Think of the work that he has done in Darfur for crying out loud!! He is NOT the kind of guy who would say this sincerely!
*
IT WAS A JOKE.
#35 -
I also watched him on Facts of Life and Roseanne but don't forget about Sisters. He played a detective who dated Sela Ward.
Re: Reader –
I dont remember Matt McConahoweveryouspellit being on a tv show though? funny quote as George is normally good for.
I LOVE IT - LOOKS AND WIT!!!!!
ISNT GEORGE DATING A FORMER REALITY TV STAR?
Well, that's funny, George, because normal, conservative Americans look down on on all you silly, liberal actors.
I'd fuck him. He's my age.
What's the matter Perez? did he hurt your feelings? He was JOKING. Where is the whole article. George has done almost every type of genre out there. That means he is looking down on himself. No wonder alot of celebrities don't like giving interviews. Everything gets twisted around or half of the quote is left out in an attempt to make the person look bad or like an idiot. HE WAS JOKING!
(AXcess News) New York - Actor George Clooney's celebrity status thrilled United Nations employees who lined up to have their picture taken with the Hollywood star, but when he tried to live up to his new role as a spokesperson for peace, some UN member nations objected.
Clooney found himself at odds against Russia and France, who basically told the celebrity to shut up, refusing to let him speak about UN peacekeeping missions, where the actor was told his speech was unwelcome before a public meeting of the nations contributing troops to the UN's 17 peacekeeping missions.
"There are groups that don't feel that I necessarily class up the joint and don't feel that I should be speaking to them," Clooney said.
Remember when Charlton Heston said George Clooney lacked class displayed by his famous Aunt Rosemary Clooney when George Clooney mocked Heston's incurable and debilitating disease Alzheimer's for political gain?
The world does.
it was really funny and tongue in cheek, it was on the oscar round table, check it out on youtube, it wasn't demeaning at all
his acting is not even thaat great. he belongs on ER.
HAHA!
hilarious he's talk shit on reality tv, seeing as his girlfriend was on FEAR FACTOR haha
Re: Carl – Wow, i guess you look down on pretty much all celebrities then huh?(Elizabitch is not a celeb) P.S. normal conservative republicans need an education, you do know(and this is from actual scholarly poli sci sources) that there are more liberals with graduate degrees than conservatives, a LOT more. All those uneducated southerners don't help their reputation much.
And seriously people, it was OBVIOUSLY a JOKE. Seriously this country gets dumber and dumber everyday.
What does it say if Theatre Actors leave the theater for films. Then get a TV role making goo-gobs of money.
Now, who's looking down on whom?
Honey, money talks and that pecking order can peck itself to the unemployment lines . . .
haahhaa i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee georgie! his funny as realistic.
Theatre people do NOT look down on Film Actors. WTF George?
Half the people who are Film Actors started in Theatre.
Weird.
I have to agree, it also works the same way for models too
So true George….So true!
Ironic that he says he looks down on reality TV, even if he was being tongue and cheek — yet, his girlfriend competed on a reality tv show, "Fear Factor".
And she was a lowly Vegas trampy waitress when he met her. He's an ugly loser. I hate him and his fug girlfriend.
Re: Aubrey – You're right!!! How funny. His UGLY ass girlfriend was on "Fear Factor", she ate a scorpian or something on couples Fear Factor and had to share the measly $100,000 with her boyfriend at the time - but they had to gamble half of it away because it was Vegas - Fear Factor. So, she only got $25,000 before taxes were taken out. Is that the only date he can get?
Re: katbrigz – She was hardly a "reality star" but she was on one episode of Fear Factor, so yes, she is a former reality contestant. Funny stuff!
Re: ANNA NICOLE SMITH – Yes, his girlfriend is a skanky whore from a shitty reality tv show. He is an asshole anyway. He finally made it big from the tv show, "ER" - after years of trying to make it in Hollywood and as soon as he could, he quit. He bit the hand that fed him and is a low class, ugly loser in my book.
Re: mjn – This guy is a creep and a terrible actor. He needs to eat shit & die.
His girlfriend is very ugly, too. It's funny he bags reality tv because his fug girlfriend used to skank it up on fear factor.
Clooney needs botox and to stop dating really unambitious skanks to make himself feel better about himself. he would never be able to be like Brad Pitt and handle someone like Angelina Jolie.
Clooneys days are numbered on the screen, just like Tom Cruises, people are sick of his shit.
I agree.
WHAT A DICK!!!
SCREW YOU BITCH! I WAS ON BIG BROTHER! TEE HEE….I'M NOT GOING TELL YOU ALL WHO I WAS OR WHICH SEASON!
.
.
.
HOLLER!
His girlfriend was on Fear Factor. I don't know how he reconciles that shameless and undignified tidbit with his creed for integrity. SHe must look real good nekkid….
Clooney is an immature idiot. He can't even answer a question straight. He's like a 7th grader w/ ADD…always has to try and get a laugh.
And for the record, I've never though the was hot. Doesn't do shit for me.
Starting to look very old too!
word.
WHOS THE PRETTIEST BEARD IN HOLLYWOOD
Kelly Preston? (she's so used to the game she not even paying attention…)
Katie Holmes? (check the handbag…This girls CLEARLY got game…)
Sarah Larson? bitch'll take one in the face to prove her love(…of the job)watch out ladies…, shes got time on her hands…
Stay Tuned Y'all
xxxk
This made me laugh
Shut up himbo! It's a good thing you look half way good and I'm so glad that you stopped that annoying head shaking thing you used to do.
Perez, are you going to attribute this quote to Newsweek, which is the outlet it came from? The issue containing this quote has been out for a while now.
This quote of the day is from a Newsweek article like 3 weeks ago!
Hot as hell even with stupid dots scribbled over his eyes. Love him!
Love George, the pattern of life, nickels looking down on a pennies.
you just gotta love George Clooney
I dont like George Clooney..He's very outspoken,frank and rude sometimes…
haha his girlfriend was on a reality TV show
Best pic evah! Love it. Didn't Clooney just move his "beard" into his house? What's up with that?
Damn Grace E. for someone who is not a George Clooney fan, you sure find away to reply to any and all blogs that contains his name. Do you google him every day and then type your Alzheimer's diddy. You do realize that France and Russia did not want him to speak because he is an actor, nothing more nothing less. You need o go outside and play.
Damn the man told a joke, apparently he put himself down because he is a movie and was a tv actor. Sheesh.
I wouldn't qualify that %^7&* he's dating as a reality personality, more like game show contesatant. That horrible Omorosa is more of reality personality.
Re: lalallala –
HAS BEEN??? ARE YOU FUCKIN SERIOUS???
Do they really? I mean film actors look down on tv actors. To some extend, I can understand theatre actors look down on film actors, because acting in front of live audiences is totally different. But what's the big difference between film and tv acting? They all do it in front of cameras, right? The only difference is the screen size. And there are just as many amazing actors on tv as in movies. Actually most of my favorite screen charactors are from tv series. Just recently I watched Dexter, Michael C. Hall, who plays title role, is one amazing talent. In fact, I think he's as good as many Oscar winners, if not better.
SPOILE ACTORS PRETENDING TO CARE ABOUT HUMANITY. tHEY ARE ALL SO SHALLOW AND SELF CENTERED…!!!!!
Blah Blah Blah do we care what he says your cute George.Don't open your mouth you just ruin it for us.
Re: Sad state of the Country – You can think all conservatives are just a buch toothless, uneducated bumpkins if it makes you feel better. But Carl is right. George Clooney seems pretty arrogant if you ask me.
lol…was that offensive?
^^
This is coming from the douche bag who sported a mullet on Rosanne…Fabio should of kicked your ass
Re: Jvillegirl – You are absolutely right!!! anyone bashing conservatives are bashing the real men and women of this country that admire traditional values who work for a living and have too much pride then to live off the gov't and not aspire to anything!!!!
I Heart Realitly t.v.
LOL, he forgot soap stars. They are the bottom of the barrel–according to other actors.
