Clooney: Actors 'look down' on reality stars

George Clooney has revealed that most actors look down on reality TV stars.

The Syriana star said an informal hierarchy exists in the profession, but no one respects celebrities who have no discernible talent.

He said: "There is a strange pecking order among actors. Theatre actors look down on film actors, who look down on TV actors. Thank God for reality shows, or we wouldn't have anybody to look down on."

Clooney, who found fame on TV show ER, recently admitted that he feared for his Hollywood career after he starred in 1997 movie Batman and Robin.
