Trivia
ADD TRIVIA-
For his role on Homicide, co-producer Dorothy Crawford provided George with money to buy a hat for his character to wear. Not wanting to wear a hat for the role, George purchased the silliest hat he could find, hoping that the show's limited budget wouldn't permit a replacement, thus allowing him to go without. Unfortunately, the hat he purchased was approved by Crawford and he had to wear it throughout his time on the show.
-
George died of complications of a stroke on the 12th of July, 2004, on the Goldcoast, in Queensland, Australia.
-
George starred in the Australian film Eliza Fraser, directed by Tim Burstall.

Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
George: (On the toughness of his character in Homicide in comparison to himself) The real George Mallaby is a coward. He hates fighting. He just talks fast - very fast.
-
George: [On scriptwriting] Writing requires a mood. It might be called a creative mood, I suppose. Unfortunately for those close to me, the mood often seems to come around 4am. I get a spasm of creativity and just have to jump out of bed and start writing.
-
George: [On founding one of Australia's first hazelnut farms] [It's] basic protection against the insecurity of show business.
