There is nothing whatsoever wrong about him being ing a commercial. Nor with him out anyone else being in films or movies. Fact is, people get old. Shouldn't tv reflect life? Or should anyone over 80 not be represented on tv?

I just saw the commercial and I too was surprised. But lukejbarnett2002, I read the replies in your post and I gotta say the following:
I also think you must be very young (good for you!) and you are not happy to see George in the KFC ad but it is a pretty good ad! Yes, I think he should be retired and having fun too! But lots of people, not only in show business, just can't seem to do that. I think they should be spending their $ and doing what they love to do. Mr. Hamilton must love to work! I love seeing Betty White in anything she does.
I wish I was retired! I would surf, dance, drum, sing and do what I love all the time! I cannot wait until I retire!
and I do understand where you are coming from but try and understand. You are very fortunate right now, being young but someday you will be nearing retirement (God-willing!) I hope you are happy in your work and also in your life.
Be a little patient with our senior citizens! Just remember, different strokes for different folks!!!
Peace!

Wait! Wait! Where are you going? I was gonna make Espresso! -

It's not like he's working all that much. Might have a bit part or two a year which might have him working a couple weeks a year if that. So he can still be retired the other weeks of the year,
George Burns worked well into his 90's as well. -

Christopher Lee and Ernest Borgnine continued acting well into their 90's. Moreover, character actor Burt Mustin was still acting in his 90's. Character actress Frances Bay kept plugging away into her early 90's as well. And, of course, Betty White is still going strong. Just because an actor or actress is pushing 80 that doesn't mean they have to retire unless of course they want to. On a more personal note, my grandma is 90 and not only is she still up and about, but she even still continues to drive.

I added those KFC spots under other work on George Hamilton's IMDb page. Moreover, add Harry Dean Stanton and Philip Baker Hall to the list of actors who are still working in either their mid-80's or, in Harry Dean's case, at age 90.

OP is clearly a troll. He spouts the same ageist absurdity on the Betty White board. It must be difficult for someone with such a pitiful existence to be confronted with people who've lived a full and rewarding life Please join me in hoping he's able to get his meds adjusted and climb out of his mama's basement before it's too late.

He's still posting the same offensive nonsense bitching and whining about people in show business getting older and looking more their advanced age as they age here on filmboards.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.
