on Lake Champlain. By JOHN LARSON George Maharis, in person, is not much different from the character he plays in "Route 66," the weekly television series which has made him famous. He's tough, confident often intense and with it all, projects a kindly sense of humor about the life around him.

am or ambucai mat imitations of Charlie Chaplin, and over the years I've developed a real liking for comedy." Those who have seen George do pantomime think he's great. He seriously pursued the study of acting. He enrolled at the Neighborhood Playhouse and studied with Lee Strasberg for two and a half years. His long list of jobs supported him while he studied. To gain valuable experience, he left New York and joined the Cincinnati Playhouse.

Once again George was back knocking on doors in New York. He went to every tryout he heard about, called on producers, directors and anyone else that would see him. His persistence eventually won him one-shot roles in such shows as "Studio One," "Kraft Theater," "Al-coa-Goodyear Theater" and "Naked City." LIKE MANY of today's actors, he really was "discovered" off-Broadway. His starring role in "The Zoo Story" led to a role in Otto Preminger's picture, "Exodus." On his return two years ago from location in Israel, he tried out for the part of Buzz Murdock in the "Route 66" series and began to co-star with Marty Milner in flie weekly adventure.

But. I'm not restinz. This is foundation for the future. There are many, many things I want to do. More than anything, I want to leave something significant as an accomplishment not just to be a taker." Success hasn't changed the good looking, dark haired actor.

At 28, still a bachelor, he's got his eyes firmly fixed on a future. Those who know him and his work see for him a future as a great actor-one who can contribute to American theater. George's victories in his own life have not come easy. It has taken a combination of hard, hard work and faith in himself to carve out a career. Born in Queens, New York, George left high school to join the Marine Corps.

"When I got out of the corps," George told us, "I knew that I wanted to finish high school. I knew if I didn't do that I'd probably regret it the rest of my life. So, back I went. It wasn't easy to go back to class after life in the Marines, but I finally got that diploma." GEORGE Maharis didn't start out to become an actor. His interests led more to a singing career, simply because he loved to sing.

At Flushing High School he had often sung in the assembly and fellow students remember him as a fine singer. The musical world, however, was not exactly waiting breathlessly for George to finish high school. After graduation, he worked in scores of jobs. "I was a waiter in a restaurant," he recalls, "worked in a parage. i '1 1l5' it VsK fi grp.
