Is this Beauty & the Geek contestant actually an actor?

The unkempt geek seems to have a few roles under his belt already. - by Erin Christie
  • 12 Jul 2021

The rebooted version of Beauty and the Geek aired just last night, and ‘geek’ George Goldfeder was quick to become a fan favourite.

With an unkempt beard, messy hair and some surprisingly good martial arts skills, both his partnered ‘Beauty’ and the Australian audience were quick to fall for this Dungeons and Dragons aficionado.

However, some were left to wonder where they might have seen George before.

It seems his dream of becoming an action movie star might have already been in motion, with the hot geek having two movie credits already.

George is one of the geeks in the show's 2021 reboot.

An IMDB page for George Goldfeder revealed he had starred in two shorts in 2016.

The first, Consequence, saw him play the role of Sam, and the other, Painkiller, had him credited as a character called Thrasher.

It seems he also had a Facebook page used to promote his acting, although it has now been removed.

Pictures have also surfaced of a younger George starring in these films – looking very different without his scruffy beard and geeky demeanour.

Whether or not he’s ‘acting’ on Beauty and the Geek is another question, with many fans already quite taken with the handsome geek, who was paired with Leticia, a 25-year-old dental assistant.

The two seemed like a super cute pairing in the first challenge, where they had to present a live seal show at Taronga Zoo.

“Couldn’t have done it without you @leticiabellanos,” he wrote on Instagram alongside a picture of the two in their khakis.

“Don’t work with seals or kids, but I’d work with you anytime,” he added.

Their winning performance resulted in a solo date together, where George showed Leticia some martial arts skills.

"Yep. I'm happy with this pairing."

He posted another image of himself and Leticia a while later, when they remained paired up in the re-shuffle of couples.

“Yep. I’m happy with this pairing,” he wrote.

“@leticiabellanos having felt the ruthless force of your martial arts skills, I can tell you, you will survive the zombie apocalypse,” he said, referencing the very first question he asked Leticia: what is your zombie apocalypse survival plan?

Actor or not, we’re keen to see if these two can make it work!
