  George Segal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Segal (born February 13, 1934) is a well-known Jewish American film and stage actor who was born in Great Neck, Long Island, New York.
Originally a stage actor and musician, Segal appeared in several nondescript films in the early 1960s before raising eyebrows in 1965 as a distraught newlywed in Ship of Fools and as a P.O.W. in King Rat.
Segal was so appealing that too often he was asked to carry a film on his charm alone, especially in the 1970s.

 ArtForum: George Segal: the Holocaust, 1984 - Lincoln Park, San Francisco, California

What can be shown - what Segal shows us - is not the Holocaust as we might remember it, but rather the Holocaust as we must learn to see it for the first time.
