Something wrong?He was television's first Dr. Kildare, then became the face audiences sought when networks needed a male lead who could anchor a sprawling miniseries - which he did three times over, each one a cultural event.

About this person
George Richard Chamberlain came through early stage work and hit as a teen idol on Dr. Kildare from 1961 to 1966. The miniseries era found its anchor in him: Centennial in 1978, Shōgun in 1980, The Thorn Birds in 1983 - the last two especially massive. He played Aramis across three Musketeers films starting in 1973, Allan Quatermain in a pair of mid-'80s adventure pictures, and became the first actor to play Jason Bourne in a 1988 TV movie. Peter Weir cast him in The Last Wave in 1977, earning him an Australian film award nomination. He returned to classical stage roles and musical theater throughout, twice nominated for the Drama Desk Award, and recorded pop music briefly in the '60s. He died two days before his 91st birthday.
