\"George<\/a><\/p>\n

[ad]<\/p>\n

George Clooney<\/a><\/strong> has three films showing at\u00a0this year’s London film festival – Fantastic Mr Fox<\/a>, The Men Who Stare at Goats<\/a> and Up in the Air<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fox got a big gala premiere last night<\/a>, Goats screens tonight, Up in the Air shows on Sunday and even The Times wrote a gushing editorial<\/a> declaring him ‘Fantastic Mr Clooney’.\u00a0Which, to be fair, I’d mostly agree with – of all the major A-listers he is perhaps the most consistent in doing interesting<\/a> work<\/a> within the Hollywood system.<\/p>\n

But before he became a big star in the 90s with ER<\/a>, he paid his dues in TV such as\u00a0Street Hawk<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0For those who never saw this 80s show, the premise was basically Knight Rider<\/a> with a motorbike (i.e. former government agent becomes a crusader against crime with the aid of a hi-tech vehicle).<\/p>\n

Clooney was in an episode called A Second Self<\/a> and here is some of his\u00a0appearance\u00a0in two videos.<\/p>\n

In this one he comes in around the 2.00 mark.<\/p>\n

For some reason this one is dubbed in French:<\/p>\n
