George Hall (actor)


George Hall was a Canadian theatre, television, and film actor. He had an over 50-year career as a Broadway character actor, making his Broadway debut in 1946 and working steadily in New York theatrical productions for decades thereafter. He was a graduate of the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, attending 1938-1939. Outside of the theatre, he is probably best remembered for his role as the 93-year-old Indiana Jones in the TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. He also played Ernie Tuttle #2 and John the butler on the television soap opera The Edge of Night and the addled but kind-hearted Mr. Eldridge in the AMC series Remember WENN, which aired in the mid-1990s.
He was married to Cordelia Ware, also an actor on Broadway, until her death in 1969.

Death

Hall, a working actor at 85, died on October 21, 2002, of complications from a stroke. He had just finished a run on Broadway playing the role of The Sorcerer in The Boys from Syracuse, which had concluded its run the previous day.
