George Hall (November 19, 1916 – October 21, 2002) was a Canadian theatre, television, and film actor. He had an over 50-year career as a Broadway character actor, making his Broadway debut in 1946 and working steadily in New York theatrical productions for decades thereafter. Outside of the theatre, he is probably best remembered for his role as the 93-year-old Indiana Jones in the TV series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (1992). He also played Ernie Tuttle #2 and John the butler on the television soap opera The Edge of Night and the addled but kind-hearted Mr. Eldridge in the AMC series Remember WENN, which aired in the mid-1990s.

He was married to Cordelia Ware, also an actor on Broadway, until her death in 1969.

Death

Hall, a working actor at 85, died on October 21, 2002, of complications from a stroke. He had just finished a run on Broadway playing the role of The Sorcerer in The Boys from Syracuse, which had concluded its run the previous day (October 20th).
