He was raised in the Hungarian culture and is still fluent in the language. His exposure to the arts began at an early age, as his mother was an opera singer, and as a young boy attended all his mother&#8217;s performances. Interest in theater did not arise until his final year at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, where he was convinced to audition for the role of <strong>Mr. Bumble<\/strong> in &#8220;<strong>Oliver!<\/strong>&#8221; at a near-by girl&#8217;s academy in need of male performers. On opening night, the minute he stepped on stage, George knew this was to be his calling in life. Upon graduation, George attended Baldwin-Wallace College (now University) pursuing a degree in Theater Arts, which he achieved with honors and numerous student productions to his credit. ln 1971 he did his apprenticeship to Actors Equity playing small roles at The Great Lakes Shakespeare Festival in Lakewood, Ohio. He finally signed on to Equity in 1974 at Trumpet in the Land in New Philadelphia, Ohio, playing frontiersman <strong>Zeke Gibbs<\/strong> in the historical pageant.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">In the fall of that year, George was invited to play in a touring children&#8217;s production that brought him to Toronto, Ontario and the emerging theater scene.
