George Alvarez is a Cuban-American actor known for his work on the
soap operas General Hospital, Port Charles and Guiding Light.George
Alvarez was born in Cuba. His family emigrated to the United States in
the 1950s, and Alvarez grew up in West New York, New Jersey. He
graduated from Memorial High School. He subsequently studied
advertising at Parsons School of Design in Manhattan but eventually
decided that he did not wish to pursue that field solely to make
money, preferring something that would allow him to more fully express
his artistic side. Alvarez worked at Studio 54 in its original heyday,
and through the connections he made there, he responded to a casting
call for a film. He got the part, but the project, and early attempt
to adapt the Anne Rice novel Interview with the Vampire. Nonetheless,
Alvarez realized that acting was what he wished to do, saying, "You
get to pretend, get to be a kid again, and get paid well to do
it."After doing some theater work in New York, Alvarez moved to Los
Angeles to more easily find film and television work. He also began to
develop a passion for writing screenplays.
