George Tchortov was born on June 27, 1980, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and at the tender age of four, his mother Milica relocated the family to Toronto, the city that has been his cherished home ever since.
As a young boy, George's innate passion for performing was evident, and he frequently appeared in school plays, talent shows, and even took on the role of morning announcements at Sir Wilfrid Laurier Collegiate, where he honed his skills and developed a strong foundation for his future endeavors.
After working as a stunt performer for several years, George made the bold decision to pursue his true calling in the world of acting, which led him to the prestigious Stella Adler Conservatory of Acting in New York City, where he graduated in 2007.
Upon returning to Toronto, George transitioned seamlessly into the world of acting, experiencing a remarkable amount of success, with a string of principal roles that ultimately led to his debut as a guest star on the hit series Covert Affairs, opposite the talented Piper Perabo.
George's impressive resume boasts a wide range of guest roles, including appearances on HBO Canada's Living In Your Car, Warehouse 13, Heartland, Rookie Blue, The Listener, CTV's Motive, CW's hit series Arrow, and Syfy's new series Killjoys.
In 2010, George was thrilled and honored to join the cast of the Canadian Box Office smash hit comedy GOON, penned by the renowned Canadian writer and actor Jay Baruchel, and directed by the talented Canadian filmmaker Michael Dowse. His film credits also include the TIFF Award-winning Antiviral, David Hayter's Wolves, and the recent short film Honor Code by Pascal Trottier.
George is widely recognized for his exceptional character work and physicality, and his charismatic personality has earned him a reputation as a funny and light-hearted individual who shows no signs of slowing down.
