George Ede Biography (1931-)

Addresses: Agent: c/o Jeff Hunter, c/o DHKPR Agency, 165 W. 46th Street, New York, NY, 10036.

"Favorite Roles: Dracula, Pellinore, Camelot, Toby Belch, Pastor Manders in Ghosts, and W. S. Gilbert in a new play Sullivan &Gilbert, which I did at American Stage Festival, NH.... Theatre, that particular confluence of energy and attention between actor and audience, is myfirst and continuing love. Nothing equals performing before that live presence.... I've vacationed in Europe only twice--both times, a superbly rewarding experience. Capri and Salzburg, for different reasons, have got to be the very few 'special places' on earth. I was born and raised in San Francisco, and the great and ancient Sequoias fill me with an indescribable aweand veneration. I must see and touch them every few years to renew myself insome mysterious way. I am possessed by an impulsive, eclectic and insatiablecuriosity, especially but not exclusively in the field of human history, which I hope will never diminish."
