Q: Did George Clooney do anything before "ER"?

Author: 
Adam Thomlison / TV Media

Quite a bit, actually. George Clooney ("The Monuments Men," 2014) was just another struggling, unbelievably handsome actor for years before landing his star-making "ER" role.

His first role was a classic case of Hollywood nepotism -- he appeared (as himself, age seven) in a 1968 episode of his dad's variety show, "The Nick Clooney Show." However, his career didn't really get going in earnest until he was in his 20s.

Q: Can you tell me how I can get in touch with Stone Phillips? I'd like to talk to him about his documentary on aging parents.

"Moving With Grace" touched a lot of people. Veteran reporter Stone Phillips' PBS documentary about being thrust into the role of caregiver for aging parents may have been his TV swan song, but it looks like you can still reach him to talk about it.

Your best bet is through the contact form on his personal website, StonePhillipsReports.com, which seems to be his post-TV project -- he has posted a range of articles on there in the years since "Moving With Grace" aired in 2014.

New Amsterdam, on NBC/Global

Based on Eric Manheimer's novel "Twelve Patients: Life and Death at Bellevue Hospital," this medical drama returns for more of Season 4 in this episode. Ryan Eggold, Janet Montgomery, Freema Agyeman and Jocko Sims star as the hospital's department heads.

Q: I was just rewatching "The Long Goodbye" and I think I saw Arnold Schwarzenegger in it. Am I right?

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pretty unmistakable presence on screen, even when he's just there for a minute.

Yes, that was indeed the great bodybuilder-turned-actor-turned-politician-turned-actor-again in a brief, non-speaking role in the 1973 noir classic "The Long Goodbye."
