Epic card · No. 12393

George Stevens Hamilton (born August 12, 1939) is an American actor. For his debut performance in Crime and Punishment U.S.A. (1959), Hamilton won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for a BAFTA Award. He has received one additional BAFTA nomination and two Golden Globe nominations. His early career was dominated by dramatic and leading man roles often based on his good looks and debonair style, while later film roles emphasizing more comedic roles and self-depreciating humor. Additionally, Hamilton was a longtime commercial spokesman for Ritz Crackers. According to Filmink "he managed to survive an incredible amount of flops to not only forge an entirely decent career of sixty plus years, but also evolved into a very good actor." Hamilton is known for his deeply tanned appearance, with Bo Derek joking about a competition between Hamilton and her late husband John Derek "as to who had the most tan!"
