George Murdock dies

Obit. Tons of character roles, but I’ll always remember him as the god who needed a starship in “Star Trek V.”

His name was actually Geoge Sawaya Jr. There was already another actor George Sawaya (either not related, or only distantly related), so he picked a name very different from the other Sawaya.

He’s a “that guy!”

Speaking of professional names, I read where a certain James Stewart couldn’t use his name because it was already in use, by the famous “Jimmy Stewart” So he picked another name and acted as Stewart Granger.
