A Great Actor and Such a Shame

I always enjoy watching Christopher George in such entertainingly junky B-pics as "Grizzly," "Dixie Dynamite," "Day of the Animals," "The Exterminator," "Graduation Day," "The Gates of Hell," and "Pieces." He's a lot of rough'n'rugged hyper-aggressive macho fun in those movies. It's such a shame he died so young of a sudden heart attack. Rest in peace, Mr. George.

His early death was a great shame.
I've just discovered Christopher was offered a role in Airple/Flying High but declined as he didn't like the humour of the film-makers earlier Kentucky Fried Movie. What a pity - he would have been great in it. -

Just a small nitpickand only 43 months late!!
eddy-28 (or is it eddy-31 now?!), you referred to Linda Day George as the "ex-wife actress" of Christopher Georgeas someone who has recently witnessed a wife losing her beloved (and young at 39) husband of just a few short yearsand, more i7ecmportantly, as a friend (my mother and she have been friends since high school) of the beautiful actress in questionit is somewhat demeaning to call her an "ex." They were very happily married at the time of his death and even though Ms. Day George has since remarried, the correct reference should be, "I wonder what his widow, actress LDG, does today."
Death makes a wife a widow; divorce makes her an "ex."
Not a big dealshe is happy, well and active todayas I said: just a small nitpick!!
Peace!

Christopher George was (and Lynda Day George is) very friendly and wholesome and refreshing to watch in their programs together and individually.
Christopher carried that bright shining appeal into his appearances, which shows that he was kind, caring and considerate of his audience and those around him. He was very talented with a wide acting range, but his good guy characters are what we remember him for mostly, a true hero. My sympathy to all for our great loss. -

^ I agree if Michael Parks is getting that attention, George certainly would have been plus maybe with the likes of Wes Craven

What a hilarious duo they must have been.. They always seemed to have a grand old time working on all those T.V. episodes and 80's cult-horror movies.. As for whether Christopher was gay, he could sure play gay in a movie.. I remember in CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD when he basically hits on that policeman early in the film it turned MY crank.. And I am a gay man!! Oh yeah he's straight, oh well LONG LIVE LYNDA DAY GEORGE AND CHRISTOPHER GEORGE

Well, ilovevictoriaprincipal, Lynda isn't proud of every single movie she ever made. Neither was Chris. If you don't believe me, check out the following link:

Yes, Christopher George was certainly one of the all-time best actors, and his friendly, easy-going personna also adds a lot to his screen presence.
Haven't seen "Rat Patrol," but anything else I've seen him on really shines because of his strong and professional performances.
Also yes, such a shame that Christopher passed at a young age like that, creating one of Hollywood's greatest tragedies, to be sure.
Not sure whatever happened to Lynda Day George except what is says on her IMDb Biography page about her retiring from acting, and remarrying, and relocating away from Hollywood. Wish her the best also because she was also good in many roles.
