He first considered a career as a lawyer before deciding on becoming an actor. George received his bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia and continued his studies at Temple University. While there -- and just three units shy of earning his master of fine arts degree -- George answered a casting call at a local shopping mall and landed a role on the Aaron Spelling daytime drama Sunset Beach.
