He may not have been the biggest name in Hollywood, but I enjoyed his work.

Watch Spartacus with Kirk Douglas and look for George. He was in a lot of good movies. Good guys and Bad guys.

An early one for George was as the mexican jailer in "Lonely Are The Brave" starring Kirk Douglas who dies when he and his horse are hit by a truck load of privies driven by Carol O'Conner. B&W but one of my favorites.

Oh yeah, Kirk uses a take-down 92 to shoot down the air force's helicopter. How cool is that?

He was truly great in "Cool Hand Luke", especially the car wash scene:
