George S. Irving
George S. Irving (born George Irving Shelasky; November 1, 1922) is an American actor, known primarily for his character roles on Broadway.
==Life and career==
Irving was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, the son of Rebecca (née Sack) and Abraham Shelasky.〔http://www.filmreference.com/film/7/George-S-Irving.html〕 It was when Irving was 13 or 14 when he sang in synagogues and churches as a boy soprano. By his final high school year in 1940, he heard about a Boston dramatic school in Boston for those who were not quite draft age and who were tall and had deep voices, so he immediately received a scholarship. A year after, he spent his chorus time working in St. Louis at the Muny Opera in 1942.〔
Irving made his debut in the original 1943 production of ''Oklahoma!'', only to be drafted days later to serve in World War II. He is one of two surviving cast members of the original 1943 opening night production of Oklahoma!, along with dancer Bambi Linn. He received this role when, during one afternoon, one of the actors lost his voice, and Irving went on for his replacement. He explains the following: "I wrote to The Theatre Guild when they were casting Oklahoma! and asked them to remind Oscar Hammerstein that he knew me a little, and I got an audition and was cast in the chorus.〔Dale, Michael. ('George S. Irving - Still Carrying On' celebrates 60 years in Musical Theatre ). June 16, 2004. Accessed from December 7, 2012.〕 Irving is best known to Broadway audiences for his role opposite Debbie Reynolds in ''Irene'' (1974) and his Tony nominated performance as Sir John in ''Me and My Girl'' (1987).
In 2008 Irving recreated the three roles he originally played in the ill-fated 1976 Joseph Stein musical ''So Long, 174th Street'', now reworked, revised, and with its original title ''Enter Laughing'' at Off-Broadway's York Theatre Company, and received rave reviews for his rendition of "The Butler's Song". Irving performed his one-man cabaret show to great acclaim at Feinstein's in New York City in November 2008. On December 8, 2008, aged 86, Irving received the 17th Oscar Hammerstein Award for Lifetime Achievement in Musical Theatre.
