George Nader was educated at Occidental College and the Pasadena Playhouse. He played several minor roles and then was assigned his first lead in the movie
Robot Monster. This led to a contract with Universal Studios. He was in his prime in the 1950's until he abandoned his big studio career in order to protect
Rock Hudson from a scandal involving a romantic relationship. He tried a few TV series and then moved to Europe - where he starred as FBI Agent Jerry Cotton in a series of West German films. After sustaining
… More an eye injury and developing glaucoma, he abandoned his acting career and turned to writing. His 1978 novel, Chrome, broke new ground by being perhaps the first sci-fi thriller to have a homosexual theme - involving gay robots.
