George Clooney is an American actor and filmmaker who was featured in "Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride", South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, "Smug Alert!" and "South ParQ Vaccination Special".
Background
George Clooney was an early supporter of the beginning of South Park by e-mailing the "The Spirit of Christmas" to some of his friends. This helped the video become one of the first "viral videos" on the internet back in 1995.
Appearance
When two years later South Park debuted on Comedy Central the creators cast him as a "gay dog" named Sparky that runs away from home and joins Big Gay Al's Big Gay Animal Sanctuary.
A year later Mr. Clooney received a speaking role in the feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut as Dr. Doctor.
Only a recording was used in "Smug Alert!", taken from George's acceptance speech at the 78th Academy Awards which was put into a dark "Smug Cloud" that took over the West Coast.
