on stories of the legendary Greek heroes, Christopher and his brother Nick
(later a prominent fashion photographer) both quit high school to join the
Marines. Completing his education after his tour of duty, George acted in
numerous TV commercials, winning a New York Film Festival award for his efforts.

became a TV star by virtue of the weekly wartime adventure series The Rat
Patrol.
In his last years, George was a frequent guest on the religious talk-show circuit.
