George Woodard (born June 18, 1952) is an actor, musician, and dairy farmer in Waterbury Center, Vermont. He experimented with acting in high school, taking part in high school and local summer stock plays and musicals, while rebuilding the family dairy business. Later he moved to Hollywood for approximately four years to explore acting. The need for someone to lead the operation of the Woodard family farm brought him home to Vermont. He took over the dairy business. His job of dairy farming mixed with his acting career resulted in his being featured in an article for Premiere Magazine.
He appeared in the films Time Chasers, Ethan Frome, My Mother's Early Lovers, The Mudge Boy, America's Heart and Soul, along with a few TV commercials.
In 2010, Woodard wrote the screenplay, directed, edited and acted in "The Summer of Walter Hacks," a coming of age story set in the long forgotten rural New England of the 1950s.[1]
