George Hilsdon

Prolific and ubiquitous British background player George Hilsdon was born on April 25, 1907 in West Ham, London, England. Hilsdon first began appearing in films in often uncredited minor roles in the mid-1940's. A burly fellow with a gruff face and receding silver gray hair, George was frequently cast as policemen, news vendors, or security guards. Hilsdon died at age 75 on May 28, 1982 in Essex, England. Predeceased by his wife Ivy Lilian Benge, he was survived by two children.
