Chances are the name George S. Irving isn’t rolling off the top of your brain as quickly as George Michael but one day after the Wham! star passed, a giant in the area of character acting took his own last bow. And it was grand life on film, screen, stage and through voice work. Winner of Tony Award in 1973 for Best Featured Actor in a Musical, you might remember him best however as the voice of the embittered Heat Miser, in a Year Without Santa Claus animation.
