Biography
Bailey was born in Port Arthur, Texas. He went to Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur with Janis Joplin and Jimmy Johnson. He started college at Lamar University in nearby Beaumont and transferred to Texas Tech University in Lubbock.[1]
Bailey left college and spent the mid-1960s working at local theater companies before moving to California in the mid-1970s. He broke into television with a small recurring role as a crime scene police officer on the short-lived detective show Harry O. He then landed one-shot episodic roles on television programs of the day such as Starsky and Hutch and Charlie's Angels. His film debut was in A Force of One (1979), an early Chuck Norris film. By the late 1970s, he got his breakout role as the conniving, cigar-chomping goldbricker Sgt. Luther Rizzo in M*A*S*H.[2] He also appeared as Tom Berenger's sidekick in Rustler's Rhapsody (1985).
He returned to college in 1993, and graduated from Southwest Texas State University, now Texas State, in San Marcos, Texas in May 1993, with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Theatre. For the 1999–2000 school year, he was the Artist-in-Residence.[3]
In the late 1990s, he starred in three of the seventeen television films and miniseries in the Bible Collection series produced for the TNT television network, Solomon (1997), Jesus (1999), and Paul (2000).
Since 2001, Bailey has served as the Executive Director of the Sunshine Kids Foundation,[4] which provides trips and activities for hundreds of young cancer patients annually. He first volunteered with the organization after his goddaughter was diagnosed with leukemia.[4]

George William Bailey (Port Arthur, Texas, Estados Unidos, 27 de agosto de 1944) es un actor estadounidense. Aunque ha aparecido en muchos papeles dramáticos, su fama procede principalmente de su caracterización de personajes cómicos tales como el Capitán Thaddeus Harris de Loca Academia de Policía (1984-1994) o el sargento Luther Rizzo en la serie de televisión M*A*S*H (1972-1983). Desde 2005 hasta 2012 ha participado en la serie policíaca The Closer, interpretando al Teniente Provenza. Actualmente está trabajando en la serie Major Crimes, en la cadena estadounidense TNT. Bailey tiene un aspecto físico muy distintivo y, habiendo sido canoso desde los 30 años de edad, ha mantenido prácticamente el mismo aspecto desde los años 70, representando papeles de personas más mayores de lo que él era en la mayoría de sus papeles de los años 80.
