Answer:
George Clooney
George Clooney is an American actor who started his rise to stardom as Dr. Doug Ross on the television drama "ER". He received his first Oscar in the supporting role of Bob Barnes in the thriller "Syriana" and another as a producer for the film "Argo". He has also been in some notable roles such as Lyn Cassady in the 2009 war film "The Men Who Stare at Goats", Ryan Bingham in the comedy "Up in the Air", Matt Kowalski in the 2013 space drama "Gravity", and Batman in the 1997 flop "Batman & Robin".
In the remake "Ocean's Eleven", Clooney plays Danny Ocean, a criminal with a keen mind and an agenda to not only get rich, but also get back the woman he loves. Matt Damon helps him out as Linus Caldwell, a skilled pickpocket, and together with a star-studded cast, they pull off the heist. The two would team up again for "Ocean's Twelve" and "Ocean's Thirteen", as well as the 2014 film "The Monuments Men", the aforementioned "Syriana", and when Clooney directed Damon in the 2017 film "Suburbicon". Damon and Clooney have been friends for a while, Damon saying about his friend that "he's got a huge heart, he's incredibly loyal, and he's really, really smart".
