John George was a Syrian actor who came to the United States in 1912 via France. He appeared in numerous films beginning in 1916. Much later in his career he appeared in several television series. The vast majority of his roles throughout the years were uncredited bit parts.

Mr. George's original name was Tufei Filhela; on his 1925 United States citizenship naturalization Declaration of Intention document, he signed his name "Tufei Filhela known as John George". His surname was neither Filthela nor Fatella, as today sometimes is claimed.

John George, nascut Tufei Fatella (Alep, Síria, 20 de gener de 1898 - Los Angeles, Califòrnia, 25 d’agost de 1968), va ser un actor sirià-nord-americà que va aparèixer en almenys 130 pel·lícules entre 1916 i 1960. George va treballar en pel·lícules de tots els gèneres al costat d'innombrables estrelles, encara que sovint només durant les aparicions més breus, sense acreditar.
