George was born in Somerset, Pennsylvania to Gloria Wyatt (Shaffer) and Bob Dinsmore. He has two brothers: His has two younger brothers Jim (2 1/2 years younger) and Jake (26 years younger). At age 5, he appeared on the TV show "Romper Room" in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. When he was 10, his parents moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida where he toured Southeast Florida and the Bahamas with the Florida Singing Sons Boy Choir. After ninth grade, they moved to Cape Coral, Florida. George studied Television Production his junior year and was encouraged to audition for the school musical where he was cast as a dancing waiter. His senior year he added Drama and Choir to his schedule and was cast in two lead roles in "The Invisible Man" and "Flower Drum Song." George attended Troy State University. The first show he auditioned for was the opera "Carmen" and he was cast as Corporal Morales, where he met his future wife Tiffany McDonald. He appeared in a few other shows in the ensemble but had to work to eat, and theatre slipped away. He graduated with a double major in Computer & Information Science and Business Administration. While in college his parents divorced and both remarried. George found a job as a computer programmer with a small company that would lay him off over Thanksgiving, and then rehire him the following Monday, rather than pay him for the holiday. While there he married Tiffany on Leap Year Day. He left that job to open a Subway franchise, which quickly became three. During that span, they had two children - Bree and Connor. His father's second marriage gave George his second brother, who was born the year between his own children. A few years later they sold the Subways and George returned to college. He took a Speech class where he was again encouraged to audition for a show and landed the lead in "Cheatin'." While still in graduate school, he was offered a programming job in Tallahassee and the family was off the Florida. From there he switched to consulting and over the course of seven years they moved to Massachusetts, Tennessee, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. It was in the Columbia, South Carolina a decade later that George rediscovered acting. After his second show he was disappointed in his work and decided it wasn't for him when another director invited him to audition. He took a chance, was cast, and things began to happen. He was seen onstage and asked to play a role for ETV, which led to annual work. He found a love of Shakespeare and was made an SC Shakespeare Company member after he played Don John in Much Ado About Nothing. His first major film role was a direct-to-DVD movie in 2010 called Our Father Takes a Bride, which was shown on late-night TV in Puerto Rico. In 2016 he filmed his first movie released to theaters called Faith's Song.
