George McRae studied theater and received a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Acting from Emerson college, Boston, in 1976.

Despite his degree, he went on to work in the photographic industry for almost 20 years before finally returning to his first love: acting.

Since then he has worked as a voice artist for companies like Sega, Nintendo, Broderbund and Mattel. He is also continuously working as an improvisational artist, creating original characters for murder mystery theater companies across the San Francisco Bay Area.

What attracted George to The Village Barbershop was the way in which the story related to his own life. George’s grandfather was a Sicilian immigrant  barber in Cambridge, Mass., who owned the Harvard Barbershop. The film was an opportunity for George to explore and better understand many different facets of his past.
