George Mitchell (February 21, 1905 – January 18, 1972) was an American actor who performed from 1935 through 1971 in film, television, and on Broadway.

Biography

Au théâtre, George Mitchell joue notamment à Broadway (New York), où il débute en 1942 dans l'opérette La Veuve joyeuse de Franz Lehár. Durant les années 1940, s'ajoutent deux opérettes de Sigmund Romberg, dont The New Moon (1942, avec Gene Barry et Hope Emerson, puis 1944).

Toujours à Broadway, il se produit aussi dans six pièces, la première représentée en 1943, la dernière en 1969-1970. Mentionnons Goodbye, My Fancy de Fay Kanin (1948-1949, avec Madeleine Carroll et Conrad Nagel), Désir sous les ormes d'Eugene O'Neill (1952, avec Jocelyn Brando et Karl Malden) et Les Sorcières de Salem d'Arthur Miller (1953, avec Arthur Kennedy et Walter Hampden).

Au cinéma, il contribue à dix-neuf films américains, le premier sorti en 1935. Suivent entre autres Captain Eddie de Lloyd Bacon (son troisième film, 1945, avec Fred MacMurray et Lynn Bari), le western 3 h 10 pour Yuma de Delmer Daves (1957, avec Van Heflin et Glenn Ford) et La Reine du Colorado de Charles Walters (1964, avec Debbie Reynolds et Harve Presnell).

Ses deux derniers films sortent en 1971, dont Le Mystère Andromède de Robert Wise (avec Arthur Hill et David Wayne). Il meurt l'année suivante (1972) à 66 ans.

Pour la télévision américaine, exceptés deux téléfilms diffusés respectivement en 1956 et 1973 — donc après son décès —, George Mitchell collabore surtout à quatre-vingt-une séries (notamment dans le domaine du western) entre 1949 et 1971, dont Les Aventuriers du Far West (cinq épisodes, 1953-1964), La Quatrième Dimension (quatre épisodes, 1960-1963) et Bonanza (trois épisodes, 1960-1968).
