George Clooney may be a veteran actor with over 80 credits to his name, but there are still acting challenges he hasn't made, though he is about to cross one off of the list.
Come next year, the Ocean's 11 actor, 63, will officially be making his Broadway debut, for a stage adaptation of his film Good Night, and Good Luck, which he wrote and starred in in 2005, and which received six Academy Award nominations at the time.
And while certainly daunting, he at least has the support of one of his most famous co-stars: Julianna Margulies, who he starred alongside on ER.
The Good Wife actress, recently speaking with People at the opening night of Left on Tenth, her new Broadway show also featuring Peter Gallagher, expressed her pride over George's upcoming Broadway gig, and shared how she has supported him.
"I've just given him a lot of kudos," she said, and revealed: "I just emailed him and said, 'I'm so proud of you. You don't have to do this.'"
Further speaking on just how challenging Broadway can be, she said: "It's scary, you know, being on Broadway. And the world we live in now, everyone's a judge, and you have to block all that out and do your work."
