Biography

George Cisar was an American character actor who worked for two decades in film and television, taking on more than a hundred roles, many of them small parts such as policemen and bartenders, often in prominent Hollywood productions. He was born in Cicero in 1912. In 1949 he appeared with Mike Wallace in Stand By for Crime, a police drama that ran briefly, and in 1957 he played a car salesman on Highway Patrol. From 1960 to 1963 he was Sergeant Theodore Mooney across thirty-one episodes of Dennis the Menace, the CBS comedy, and in 1962 he was the postman in an episode of Leave It to Beaver. He played Donald Hollinger's father on That Girl and Cyrus Tankersley on The Andy Griffith Show and its follow-up, Mayberry, R.F.D. His first film part, in Call Northside 777 (1948), went unbilled, and his final one was Joe the barber in ...tick...tick...tick... (1970). He died in 1979.
