WORCESTER George Clooney, best known as Dr. Doug Ross on TV’s “ER” and twice named People magazine s Sexiest Man Alive, is expected to be in Worcester this week to film scenes of “The Tender Bar.” Clooney is the director of the flick.
Clooney has a distant movie tie to Worcester. He once played Lt. Frank Stokes - loosely based on George L. Stout, the man who directed the Worcester Art Museum from 1947-1954 - in 2014’s “The Monuments Men.”
Filming will be at the old Commerce High School building, which also served as the state Department of Children & Families office in Worcester. It appears that all filming is going to be done inside the building, which is a block from Main Street in downtown Worcester.
