George:
Late
30’s, he is the computer supervisors who shares Henry's office, very shy, quiet &
rarely speaks, and is a classic MIME. He is so meek that he walks around the phone room checking to make
sure the callers are on the right campaign on his tippy toes. He never has any
lines on the show, he just sneaks around from cubicle to cubicle meekly, quietly
but causes a lot of mysterious activity.
Grew
up in a conservative, left brained family full of uptight accountants. His
mother & father both owned an accounting business in downtown Seattle.
His mother was a dried out thin lipped Wasp & his father was a
balding, paunchy, sexually frustrated mess that stayed in the marriage
because of the business. The business was so lucrative that they bought a
stately, large house in the suburbs of Seattle, Washington. The house like
the family was white & barren on the inside with no trace of warmth.
As a teenager, George, hardly being able to take the cold, harshness of
his parents & the environment would spend his afternoons after school mimicking
pictures from magazines he could find around the house.
When
he started to act like a statue for hours at a time,
his parents decided to take him to a psychiatrist, then with the doctors
advice, enrolled him into Mime school while he studied accounting and
dabbled in computers.
There,
he perfected his act to a certain degree got straight Mime A’s, then
went off to one of the most prestigious Mime colleges in Hollywood.
After
college, he went to work for a major accounting firm, doing very well
until his boss had an emotional breakdown, because George mainly mimed the
bosses requests and to many mysterious things happened around the office
that George would cause. The boss of course, could not take anymore of his
antics & fired him.
After
that, he went to the “Phone Room” to apply for a job & Henry hired
him because he fit in with all the other crazies and he wouldn’t bother
Henry with unnecessary talking, plus he had very good technical skills on
the computer.
George’s big dream was to become a world famous mime
& to tour Europe & Asia. He is
now a guest Mime speaker at the Hollywood Mime school.

His
mannerisms are like that of the comedian Martin Short, the Tin Man in the
Wizard of OZ or a bit like Gillian from Gillian's island.
