Actor Bio

A child of "The Fifties", George Buza grew up in the suburbs of Cleveland, Ohio. Born to Hungarian immigrants, he was raised in a close family circle with his grandparents and speaks and writes fluent Hungarian, his first language. The Arts were always a part of his life as his mother was an opera singer and musician, his father an accomplished photographer, and his grandfather an architect and artist. Despite all the artistic influences, upon completing his high school education at St. Ignatius, a Jesuit run institute of higher learning, his decision to become an actor was met with "mixed reviews" at home. George's passion for theatre led him to Baldwin-Wallace College in Berea, Ohio where he pursued a double major of Theatre-Arts, and English to appease parental objections to his choice of a "bohemian" career.

In the mid-seventies, George re-located to Toronto, a hotbed of daring new Canadian Theatre. What followed was a long string theatrical roles, including Pozzo in 'Waiting for Godot' at MTC, John Dory in 'Wild Oats' at the Stratford Festival, and The Hooded Fang in the original production of 'Jacob Two-Two' at Young People's Theatre, but foremost in George's theatrical career was the role of Bernardo in George F. Walker's original production of 'Zastrozzi'.

George's acting career in Canada now spans 34 years and has led to numerous recognizable roles in television and film, including 'Quest for Fire', 'Meatballs III', 'X-Men', 'Glory! Glory!', 'Amerika', 'Men With Brooms', 'Still Small Voices, and CBC's mini-series about biker gangs, 'The Last Chapter', which George performed both in English and in French.
