Allegedly it was Steven Soderbergh, during Out Of Sight, who got Cloon to stop tucking in his chin when he spoke to people. But there were four years of fame before that life-changing moment. None of these got any votes in the poll covering his entire career.

FACTS OF LIFE

La Lechera, Thursday, 17 January 2008 15:04 (eighteen years ago)

Dude wasn't famous then.

La Lechera, Thursday, 17 January 2008 15:09 (eighteen years ago)

I can't stop thinking now about that TV Funhouse sketch with Clooney as Speed Racer being pursued by paparazzi. He says something about The Peacemaker and Chim-Chim looks confused, to which he clarifies "my follow-up to One Fine Day."

WHO ELSE HATED HIS CUTE CHUCKLE ON "ER"?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 17 January 2008 16:49 (eighteen years ago)

PERSONALLY I HAVE NEVER WATCHED "ER"!

From Dusk Til Dawn and Batman & Robin each got one vote on the other cloon poll. My insignificant bad.

Tempted to vote for Batman & Robin because a) I actually saw that, b) I won't vote for fucking From Dusk Til Dawn, and c) there's this amazing scene where Robin sez "Alfred's sick?" and Cloon says "I know" and then makes THREE different facial expressions in a row, which Schumacher et al kept for god knows why.

I went to a matinee of B&R, stoned off my face aged 17 and loved every minute of it, ironically of course. I was wrong, though.

The Peacemaker isn't bad. Hard time thinking of an appropriate comparison - better than every Bond movie since GoldenEye, I guess?

I had a journalism teacher in high school who got mad at us for something, so she decided we would have to watch One Fine Day, twice, and then review it.

Evil, evil woman.

milo z, Thursday, 17 January 2008 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

Haven't seen it, but surely it's not better than Casino Royale?

I spotted him on an episode of Golden Girls yesterday - bit part as an FBI agent or something.

xp - yeah, including Casino Royale

milo z, Thursday, 17 January 2008 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

Excuse me, but if we're gonna credit anyone for reviving the caesar in the 90s, its Kevin Costner in the Bodyguard.

da croupier, Thursday, 17 January 2008 17:22 (eighteen years ago)

what about Harrison Ford in Presumed Innocent?

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 17 January 2008 18:32 (eighteen years ago)

One Fine Day was my joke vote

one month passes...

from his NY Times Mag interview 2 weeks ago:

Q: Do you think doing lots and lots of television was helpful or hurtful for your movie career?

A: Absolutely helpful. Especially doing sitcoms. At a comedy show, everybody is involved in making the project better. You’re not just concerned with yourself. And then an audience comes in, and you learn to make instant decisions. And I learned about love scenes. I’ve probably played every romantic scene in television. I was on a show called ‘‘Sisters,’’ and I remember telling the producers what women want. The producers always wanted me to be the guy who said to the girl, ‘‘I’ll be waiting for you.’’ I told them that while all women say they want that guy, no woman wants that on the screen. I learned not to be the wuss. Mostly, TV gave me a chance at variety. I was lucky that I never became famous until ‘‘ER.’’ I wasn’t successful for years and years, and at the time, I hated that, but thank God I wasn’t a big hit on ‘‘The Facts of Life.’’ If that happens, no matter what your talent level, you never get out of that box.
