George Arrendell, a multilingual individual born in 1968 in Antwerp, is the eldest child of a South American percussionist and a Belgian painter. As a polyglot, he is fluent in English, Dutch, and French.
Throughout the 1980s, George earned a living as a breakdancer and rapper, and upon completing high school, he transitioned into a modeling career, working in various European locations. During this time, he developed a passion for acting while participating in student drama productions and small roles in Belgian films and television series.
This passion eventually led him to pursue acting as a full-time profession. In 1996, George enrolled at the renowned Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York City, further honing his craft. Upon his return to Europe, he secured work in numerous productions, solidifying his position as the most successful Afro-European actor in Belgium.
George's extensive career has spanned both film and television, with notable roles including Inspector Jimmy N'Tongo in the hit Belgian police series Zone Stad, which received a nomination at the 2009 Monte Carlo Television Festival. He has also appeared in British and Canadian film productions, such as 'Falling Through', 'Christie Malry's Own Double-Entry', 'High Speed', and 'She, Me and Her', which was filmed on location in Luxembourg alongside notable actors Roy Scheider, Peter Weller, Ben Cross, and Nick Moran.
George's acting technique is rooted in the teachings of Strasberg, Meisner, and Chekhov, which he believes provides an intriguing combination of approaches.
