Actor Born: December 14, 1932 in Chicago, IL Death: August 11, 2008 Biography:American actor "George Furth" attended Northwestern University, a cradle of American acting talent. After getting his master's degree at Columbia, Furth sought out stage work: his first part was in the 1961 play A Cook for Mr. General. Most often cast in films as a bespectacled, nerdish, ineffectual type, Furth appeared in such films as "The Best Man" (1964) and "Myra Breckenridge" (1970). His most celebrated movie role was as Woodcock, the by-the-book railroad guard robbed twice by "Paul Newman" and "Robert Redford" in "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (1969). On TV, Furth was seen regularly on Broadside, "Tammy", "The Good Guys" and The Dumplings--situation comedies all. Broadway regulars will recognize the name "George Furth" less for his acting than for his considerable accomplishments as a playwright; in 1970, Furth wrote the book for "Stephen Sondheim"'s Tony-winning musical Company. ~ Hal...
