About George Nader

George Garfield Nader Jr. (October 19, 1921 – February 4, 2002) was an American actor and writer. He appeared in a variety of films from 1950 to 1974, mainly action and adventure film roles, and had a long stint as a leading man at Universal Studios. He won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year – Actor for the film Four Guns to the Border (1954). During this period, he also did episodic television and starred in several series, including NBC's The Man and the Challenge (1959–60). In the 1960s he made several films in West Germany, playing FBI agent Jerry Cotton. He is also remembered for his first starring role, in the low-budget 3-D sci-fi film Robot Monster (1953), known as "one of the worst films ever made".
