George's fascination with the world of entertainment began at the tender age of 14, when he became completely captivated by the magic of the stage. So profound was his enchantment that he made the bold decision to abandon his formal education and pursue a career in the performing arts. He secured a modest position at a seaside theatre, earning a meager 25 shillings per week, and spent the next six years honing his craft in the demanding environment of small-town repertory theatre.
As his skills and reputation grew, George's talents eventually caught the attention of the film industry, and he made the transition to the silver screen. Over the course of the next several years, he appeared in a dozen films, gradually establishing himself as a versatile and accomplished actor.
However, after a decade of working in the film industry, George felt the need to take a break and recharge his creative batteries. He spent the next seven years pursuing a variety of projects, including a return to his theatrical roots. During this time, he appeared in a number of classic plays at the esteemed Old Vic theatre, as well as in productions in the West End. In between his stage appearances, George also continued to work in film, eventually landing the role of a lifetime in his 13th film, The Curse of the Fly.
