Template:Short description Template:Use Canadian English Template:More footnotes Template:Infobox person
George Hall (November 19, 1916 – October 21, 2002) was a Canadian theatre, television, and film actor. He had an over 50-year career as a Broadway character actor, making his Broadway debut in 1946 and working steadily in New York theatrical productions for decades thereafter. He was a graduate of the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre, attending 1938-1939. Outside of the theatre, he is probably best remembered for his role as the 93-year-old Indiana Jones in the TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992). He also played Ernie Tuttle #2 and John the butler on the television soap opera The Edge of Night and the addled but kind-hearted Mr. Eldridge in the AMC series Remember WENN, which aired in the mid-1990s.
He was married to Cordelia Ware, also an actor on Broadway, until her death in 1969.
Death
Hall, a working actor at 85, died on October 21, 2002, of complications from a stroke. He had just finished a run on Broadway playing the role of The Sorcerer in The Boys from Syracuse, which had concluded its run the previous day (October 20th).<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>
