George Clooney Praises Christopher Abbott in 'Catch-22': 'He's Clearly A Gifted Actor'

George Clooney happily poses alongside his co-star Grant Heslov while attending the FYC red carpet event for his new Hulu series Catch-22 held at the Saban Media Center on Wednesday (May 8) in North Hollywood, Calif.

The 58-year-old actor-director was also joined at the event by cast mates Christopher Abbott and Kyle Chandler, as well as writer Luke Davis, executive producer Richard Brown and director-producer Ellen Kuras.

“Chris came in and read, and within the first three lines it was clear that he was our man,” George said in a statement in praise of Chris (via Vanity Fair). “He’s clearly a gifted actor. He has the ability to do both comedy and drama effortlessly, which doesn’t often happen.”

“More importantly, he has a unique quality that makes you root for him,” George added. “That’s not something that can be learned—either you have it or you don’t. And he has it.”

That same evening, Kyle made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live and talked about the insane rain they had on his ranch in Texas, visiting colleges with his daughter, playing football in high school, and shooting Catch 22 with George in Italy.

George Clooney's 'Catch-22' on Hulu - First Look Photos

Check out these first look photos from Hulu’s upcoming series Catch-22.

The cast includes Christopher Abbott (Yossarian), Kyle Chandler (Colonel Cathcart), George Clooney (Scheisskopf), Hugh Laurie (Major de Coverley), Giancarlo Giannini (Marcello), Daniel David Stewart (Milo), Rafi Gavron (Aarfy), Austin Stowell (Nately), Graham Patrick Martin (Orr), Gerran Howell (Kid Sampson), Jon Rudnitsky (McWatt), Kevin J. O’Connor (Korn), Pico Alexander (Clevinger), Tessa Ferrer (Nurse Duckett), Lewis Pullman (Major Major), Josh Bold (Dunbar), Jay Paulson (Chaplain), Harrison Osterfield (Snowden), and Julie Ann Emery (Marion).

Here’s a synopsis: based on Joseph Heller’s seminal novel of the same name, Catch-22 is the story of the incomparable, artful dodger, Yossarian (Abbott), a US Air Force bombardier in World War II who is furious because thousands of peoplehe has never met are trying to kill him. But his real problem is not the enemy, but rather his own army which keeps increasing the number of missions the men must fly to complete their service. Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he’ll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty.

The show will debut on Hulu in the Spring! George served as a director on two of the episodes.
