Georg Olden (actor)

Georg Olden is an American former actor, model and musical theatre performer. Beginning his career as a professional child actor and model at the age of ten, Olden is best known for his television roles as Drag in the ABC Weekend Special The Jokes On Mr. Little and as Robbie Stuart on the 1980s TBS sitcom Rocky Road. Rising to prominence as a teen idol in the mid1980s, Olden is also known for his feature film roles as Piper in the teen comedy Bad Manners and as one of the teenage bullies in the science fiction adventure Explorers.

Olden was born Georg Olden, Jr. on January 14, 1968 in Tarrytown, New York, the son of renowned graphic designer Georg Olden and professional stage actress and singer Terri Phillips Baker. His father died when he was seven and he grew up spending his summers traveling the country with his mother as she appeared in numerous roadshow engagements and stage plays. In a 1986 interview, Olden recounted his early childhood saying I think we ended up seeing just about all of the U.S.A. except Alaska and Hawaii. Although an accomplished stage performer, Baker did not want her son to enter show business and discouraged him from embarking on a career within the entertainment industry.
