George Marken

George Marken was born on February 8, 1953, in Whittier, California as George Arthur Marken, and adopted the same day by loving parents, Ray and Nell Marken. For most of his adult life, to support his growing family, George had a career in business. Closing in on retirement age, George decided to try background acting on a lark, because it looked and sounded interesting, and it was unlike anything he had ever done before. He became infatuated with everything about the craft in general, and the process specifically, and had to experience more. He received his SAG-Aftra card, and wanted to take advantage of the opportunities available in his newly discovered art. George started to start going to auditions to learn the process, and what to expect. On his second audition, he was cast as a principle in a live theatre project, and it was all over. George has finally received his first feature film credit at the age of 67, and is more enthusiastic than ever to expand his horizons as an artist, entertainer and storyteller.
