About George Wallace
George Henry Wallace (born July 21, 1952) is an American comedian and actor. He has had supporting roles in a number of films, including 3 Strikes (2000) and the Coen brothers film The Ladykillers (2004) as Sheriff Wyner, and appeared in Batman Forever (1995) as the Mayor of Gotham City. Other film credits include A Rage in Harlem (1991), Punchline (1988), and Mr. Deeds (2002). He made appearances in the sitcoms Scrubs and Seinfeld, the latter in the episode "The Checks," and starred as Mayor Benson in Hubie Halloween (2020).
Wallace was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to Mary Lou and George Wallace Sr. His mother died when he was sixteen, prompting him to move to Ohio, where he found a job with Firestone Tire. Through the company's tuition reimbursement program, he enrolled at the University of Akron, studying transportation, marketing and advertising. Upon graduating, he moved to New York City to pursue his childhood dream of being a comedian, working as a salesman for an advertising agency to pay the bills, and lived with friend and fellow comedian Jerry Seinfeld.
In 1977, Wallace walked on stage for the first time, wearing a preacher's robe and calling himself The Right Reverend Dr. George Wallace, with a completely improvised routine. He became a regular at The Comedy Store in West Hollywood and opened for performers including George Benson, Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson. He was named the Best Male Standup Comedian at the 1995 American Comedy Awards. In 2007, Wallace suffered an onstage injury at the Bellagio in Las Vegas and later won a $1.3 million judgment; afterward he ended his 10-year run as a Las Vegas headliner. He was the best man at Jerry Seinfeld's wedding.
