George Hardy is an American actor and practicing dentist, known for his roles in cult classic films and documentaries celebrating independent cinema. After starring as Michael Waits in the 1990 horror film ‘Troll 2,’ George Hardy became widely recognized in the realm of cult classic cinema. Despite its initial direct-to-video release and overwhelmingly negative reception, the film later garnered a significant cult following, eventually being celebrated as one of the ‘worst films ever made.’ Following this, Hardy returned to his full-time dental practice, establishing a successful clinic in Alexander City in 1991. His connection to ‘Troll 2’ was reignited with ‘The Troll 2 Experience’ screening in 2006, leading to a resurgence of interest in his acting career.

In 2017, he served as an executive producer and actor, portraying Sergeant Travis Delmore in the short film ‘Texas Cotton,’ a role he reprised in the full-length feature film ‘Texas Cotton’ (2018), marking his first leading role since ‘Troll 2.’ That same year, he appeared as Father Davenport in ‘The Killer’s Requiem.’ Hardy reprised his iconic ‘Troll 2’ role as Michael Waits in ‘Under ConTroll’ (2019) and appeared as Tony in ‘@stopbygeorgesokc’ (2019), followed by a role as Dr. Guy in the horror film ‘Cyst’ (2020). In 2023, Hardy appeared as a Celebrity Guest in an episode of ‘Jhon Jatenjor’s Interviews’ and as Uncle Brux in ‘Country Gold: Deleted Scenes – Better Learn to Sing.’ He is set to appear as Monty in the upcoming film ‘The Hem,’ currently in post-production. Maintaining his dual career, George Hardy continues his active dental practice alongside his work in film, establishing himself as a unique figure in independent cinema.
