10 Actors Who Have Turned Down TV Reboots

10. George Clooney - E.R.

Back before he'd ever donned a pair of bat nipples, the ball of charisma that is George Clooney first made his presence known in an NBC medical drama by the name of ER.

And while the Hollywood A-Lister would ultimately kiss goodbye to his character of Dr. Doug Ross all the way back in 1999 before making the odd cameo appearance, it's clear his work on the show struck a chord with fans the world over, leading to many understandably trying to will a reboot of the emergency room series back into existence over the years.

However, the last time Clooney sat down and reunited with his one-time cast mates in 2021 for a charity chat, the Academy Award winner confessed that he didn't think a reboot of the show was possible, largely due to it now being difficult to produce another series at the level the team once did.

Simply put, the superstar actor just felt it would be hard to "capture lightning in a bottle twice", with co-star Julianna Marguiles also admitting that it was probably wise to "leave what was so beautiful and move on".

So, despite the late Michael Crichton's wife admitting that she loved the idea of a revival of the show creator's "passion project", it looks as though this cast's days of running around a hospital on the small-screen are over.
