George Campbell Scott (October 18, 1927 – September 22, 1999) was an American actor, director, and producer. He was best known for his stage work, as well as his portrayals of the prosecutor Claude Dancer in Anatomy of a Murder (1959), General Buck Turgidson in Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove (1964), General George S. Patton in the film Patton (1970), Ebenezer Scrooge in Clive Donner’s film A Christmas Carol (1984) and Lieutenant William F. Kinderman in The Exorcist III (1990). He was the first actor to refuse the Academy Award for Best Actor (for Patton in 1970), having warned the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences months in advance that he would do so on philosophical grounds if he won. Scott believed that every dramatic performance was unique and could not be compared to others. (Wikipedia)
