George Harvey Presnell (/ p r ɛ z ˈ n ɛ l /; September 14, 1933 – June 30, 2009) was an American actor and singer. He began his career in the mid-1950s as a classical baritone, singing with orchestras and opera companies throughout the United States.
At age 70+, he was unsinkable, vigorously steamrolling on TV ( The Pretender (1996), Monk (2002) and ER (1994)) and in the films Mr. Deeds (2002) , Old School (2003) , Flags of Our Fathers (2006) and Evan Almighty (2007). His last series role was in the short-lived Andy Barker, P.I. (2007).
Presnell has had very two distinct portions to his career: that of a smooth, silky-voiced and handsome actor cast as the romantic lead in musicals; and that of a balding, gravelly-voiced older man who frequently plays cruel men of power due to his towering, imposing presence.
