About George Almond

George Almond hails from Cape Breton Island, Canada. The son of a steel worker, James Almond and a secretary, Mary Florence Clements, his family immigrated to California in 1962, where he was raised and educated in the Los Angeles suburb of Pico Rivera. He got his start as an actor in collegiate theatre, where he was cast as the lead in the first play for which he auditioned, and from there his course was set. He worked for awhile in community theatre in plays and musicals, from Assassins and 1776 to The Grapes of Wrath and Othello, for which he received the Inland Valley Theatre League Award for best performance as an actor in a lead role. Acceptance to the Los Angeles Classical Theatre Lab brought him to the professional theatre world. At this time he also gained his membership in Actor's Equity Association. He remains a member of the CTL, where he has worked with such theatrical luminaries as Sheldon Epps, Rob Nagle, Armin Shimerman and Simon Levy. He also studied Shakespearean acting there, under the tutelage of Alfred Molina, who for a number of years taught a Shakespearean workshop at the CTL. George reprized his role as Iago in Othello at the Stella Adler Theatre in 1999, to considerable popular and critical acclaim. In 2002 he formed his own production company, Planta Genista Productions, and produced and starred in Richard III at the Secret Rose Theatre in North Hollywood. His first role in film was in the independent short, The Lost Piece. He is also the author of three plays, Ghost Light; Go, Bid the Soldiers Shoot, based on the lives of the Booth brothers Edwin and John Wilkes, respectively; and Cheshire Cat Moon: A Smile that Comes and Goes, based on the life of Ian Fleming, creator of James Bond....
