I was watching the movie weeks ago and when I saw the kid I had to wait the credits to make sure it was not him. I remember that he was in one of the first scenes shot in Cincinnati.

Anyway... let me know what you think!

I can kinda see it LL. Good eye ya got there!

Not really LL, maybe he needs to grow into his features a little more. Could be a heartbreaker in his own right though!!! Gee was cute enough as a child!

It is not the nephew of George, his nephew named Nicholas Zeidler

Lelacorb: i said resembles... which means he looks like, I never said it was him...

Nicky BILLY BOB is on facebook, so you can have a good look.

Billy Bob, that's a real Hillbilly name not ? Funny family indeed.

I saw it Atalante! good finding. Well, you can compare the child actor to his facebook profile pic.

His nephew looks a lot like George to me...
Seems to be a funny family

Yes, same joker ! Loads of velinas await him in the future !

Oh Atalante someone didn't like your joke, but I did ! SO I am voting one clooneyliciousness to you!

I was wandering around my George archives and came up with this video of his filming of Ides in Cincinnati. Featured are his nephew Nick and niece Allison. His whole family came out on that day even though it was freezing outside.

Excellent!! I love seeing George's family. Thanks for sharing it, they are precious!!

Could someone please explain to me again what "Method" means.

Hi Tigerina, glad you liked it. I think when Nick Clooney said Nicholas is a "method actor" he means he acted just like himself. Something George himself has been accused of doing. I think that's correct, if not someone please correct me.

Thanks for sharing, Cindigirl. I don't think I saw that video before nor do I recall ever hearing Allison speak to the press.

I thought Nick was talking about George when he said he is method. He was talking about his grandson??

Tigerina, Nick was talking about Little Nick.

CindiGirl, George is not a method actor in that he portrays himself in most of his characters rather than his characters becoming him.

Here is a definition:
Method acting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Method acting is a phrase that loosely refers to a family of techniques used by actors to create in themselves the thoughts and emotions of their characters, so as to develop lifelike performances. It can be contrasted with more classical forms of acting, in which actors simulate the thoughts and emotions of their characters through external means, such as vocal intonation or facial expression. Though not all Method actors use the same approach, the "method" in Method acting usually refers to the practice, pioneered by Constantin Stanislavski and advocated by Lee Strasberg, by which actors draw upon their own emotions and memories in their portrayals, aided by a set of exercises and practices including sense memory and affective memory.

Method actors are often characterized as immersing themselves in their characters to the extent that they continue to portray them even offstage or off-camera for the duration of a project. However, this is a popular misconception. While some actors have employed this approach, it is generally not taught as part of the Method.

Method acting has been described as "revolutionizing American theater." While classical acting instruction "had focused on developing external talents," the Method was "the first systematized training that also developed internal abilities (sensory, psychological, emotional)."[1]

Method acting continues to evolve, with many contemporary acting teachers, schools, and colleges teaching an integrated approach that draws from several different schools of thought about acting.

Yes Nick said his grandson was "in the moment, he thought it over. He's method you know." Nick has a great sense of humor just like his son George.

Thanks Mel.

new!
nice, thanks

what about Allison said?
I didn't understand very well...

Allison was teasing and said that he (George's nephew) thinks he's a big movie now and needs an agent. It might have been her Kentucky accent that threw you off.

Hey cindi thanks for that, not seen it before.

George was wearing the yellow zipper cardigan that he wore at the
Ravens v Bengals game, after his elbow op !

Oh, for crying out loud Joanna, I didn't notice that - he really does love to hang onto his old clothes. Now I'm sure the bulk of his money is not spent on clothing. LOL

thanks!
