Mohammed "Mo" George (born Mohammad Michael George in 1982 to a Jamaican mother and Antiguan father, in Hackney, London, England) is an actor who played Gus Smith on the soap opera ''EastEnders'' from 2002 to 2008. Before appearing in ''EastEnders'', George made guest appearances in ''Holby City'', ''Bottom'' (as a young trick-or-treater in the episode ''Terror''), ''Kidulthood'' and ''The Last Detective''. He also starred as Dennis in the children's program Renford Rejects in 2000. George has a daughter, Olivia Destiny, from his relationship with Emma Archibald. His daughter was born in 2005 in Barnet, Greater London.〔(Births England and Wales 1984-2006 )〕 George was arrested on 8 December 2006 for a suspected assault on Archibald during an argument outside a restaurant. She corroborated the claims, in what started as an argument over who should empty the dishwasher. George was cautioned by the police for having swung a bag of rubbish,〔 〕 and was subsequently suspended by ''EastEnders'' Executive Producer Diederick Santer for two months. He apologised to the BBC and the show's producers. It was announced on 18 January 2008 that George and ''EastEnders'' had reached a mutual agreement not to renew his contract and he left the show after six years, later in 2008.〔(BBC - EastEnders - News - Two departures from Walford )〕 George has since stated that he was "forced" to leave ''EastEnders'' after the bosses there believed newspaper headlines which he later proved wrong. He has also admitted to suffering from depression as a result of his departure from ''EastEnders''. In March 2009, George started libel action against ''The Sun'' newspaper, claiming that they said he was "acting like a wild animal" and branded him a "woman beater" and that this was untrue. His lawyer said the reports had "damaged his prospects as an actor". The newspaper contested the claim, but George won £75,000 libel damages on 2 April 2009. In July 2010, the ''Daily Star'' apologised and paid damages to George after they incorrectly reported that he had arrived drunk to an ''EastEnders'' 25th anniversary party and acted aggressively to the programme's producers. George is now a full-time DJ playing around clubs across the United Kingdom. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mohammed George」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
