George Woodard is an actor, musician, storyteller and dairy farmer from Vermont. He discovered acting in college and moved to Hollywood, California for six years until the pending sale of the family farm brought him home. He took over the dairy and maple syrup business from his elderly father and has been doing it ever since. His job of dairy farming mixed with his acting career got him featured in an article for Premiere Magazine.In between milking twice a day, he finds time to be in films (Ethan Frome, My Mother's Early Lovers, The Mudge Boy, Mud Season), and TV commercials. He also created his own home grown variety show, The Ground Hog Opry, which combines Vermont-related political commentary with songs written by Woodard and other members of the cast, including Al Boright.He had a major role in the 1994 film Time Chasers, which was later lampooned by Mystery Science Theater 3000. A running gag in the episode is Mike and the Bots comically mimicking Woodard's voice.
George is still showing his first feature film, "The Summer of Walter Hacks", which he directed and co-wrote with his producer Gerianne Smart. It is a coming of age movie, released in dramatic black and white and with a compelling musical soundtrack. Information can be found at www.pastureproductions.com.

George Woodard is an active dairy farmer, which means that twice a day, every day, 24/7/365, his small herd of dairy cows (certified organic milk) needs to be milked. This is no act, but really hard work. In between, there are seasons, like getting the hay in every year, repair fences, barn buildings, tractors and attachments. When all this is done, he finds time to write, direct, photograph and act.
