George Harrington Lloyd (November 5, 1892 – August 15, 1967) was an American vaudevillian and character actor. Born in Edinburg, Illinois,[citation needed] Lloyd appeared in over 270 films between 1932 and 1956.
In the late 1920s, Lloyd had his own vaudeville troupe.[1]
Lloyd appeared in the Three Stooges short subject Pardon My Clutch (1948) as the angry gas station attendant. He was also Squid McGuffy, café owner, in Crime on Their Hands (1948) and its remake, Hot Ice (1955). Other appearances include Mississippi (1935), The Return of Jimmy Valentine (1936), High Sierra (1941), Topper Returns (1941) and My Favorite Brunette (1947). In the 1940s-era morality play I Accuse My Parents (parodied by Mystery Science Theater 3000), he was kindly cafe owner Al, "mistaken" by the MST3K crew for Off. Toody (Joe E. Ross) of Car 54, Where Are You?.
Lloyd retired from films as a character actor in 1955. He died after a cerebrovascular accident on August 15, 1967. Lloyd had been suffering from arteriosclerosis as well at the time of his passing. He is interred at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in West Los Angeles, California.[2]
