- Mini Bio:
- George W. Bailey (born August 27, 1944 in Port Arthur, Texas) is a veteran stage, television and film actor. Although he appeared in many dramatic roles, he may be best remembered for his "crusty" comedic characters such as Captain Thaddeus Harris in Police Academy (1984–1994), Captain Felix Maxwell in Mannequin (1987) and Staff Sergeant Luther Rizzo in M*A*S*H (TV-Series 1979 - 1983). He currently stars on the TNT series The Closer (he has known Closer creator James Duff since 1972, when he was his high-school instructor in Lubbock, Texas and has also known co-star Tony Denison for several years). Bailey has a very distinctive appearance, and, having gone prematurely grey in his 30s, has appeared essentially the same age since the 1970s. As a result, he has portrayed older characters than himself in most of his 1980s roles.
