George's mutant power of memorization became evident at a very young age, with the ability to recite lengthy poetry and stories.George also exhibited a potential for performance at the age of 9 where he joined the American Tae Kwon Do Association (ATA) and received his first black belt less than three years later. After a decade of training and competition, he amassed nearly 300 trophies and medals including winning championships at State, National and World competitions. His success in the martial arts was secondary when his true calling was revealed through his first acting class in the fall of 2005.George decided to take his aspirations to the Southeast, where he attended North Carolina State University, earning a BA in Theatre and graduating valedictorian in the class of 2010. During six semesters he performed in eleven productions including his first full length play, A Few Good Men (2007) for which he won "Best First Performance Award."

George continues to level up working with award winning directors and actors such as Jon Turtletaub, Michael Grossman, GregAlan Williams, and the Emmy Award winner, Michael Laibson.
