Common curiosity often leads us to question where one comes from and when it comes to George Lang there is often more to his character than meets the eye. It is often over looked that ages ago in the 1970’s, George’s star quality was discovered on the streets of San Francisco. This eventually lead to numerous roles as an extra in Hollywood hits such as the Dirty Harry movies, The Laughing Policeman, Freebie and the Bean and an episode of Vegas, just to name a few.

After embodying the life changing roles of man in background, standing person, man looking scared and guy with blonde hair  ( Yes, you heard it here he HAD hair!)  George decided to listen to the little voice in his head that told him his efforts would be much better spent behind the camera.

While we are very proud of George’s ten roles as an extra, we believe he made the right decision in pursuing his career behind the scenes of the Hollywood limelight. In a tribute to what could have been, we have attached a link from 1974’s Freebie and the Bean starring Alan Arkin, James Caan and Loretta Swit and of course, featuring Mr. George Lang as the blonde man in a white jacket who almost gets hit with a motorcycle and attacked by a flying chicken.
