The young and naive Stephen George was first introduced to the entertainment industry when he was unexpectedly contacted by an unfamiliar out-of-stater, who invited Stephen to meet him in his hotel room because he liked the way Stephen looked.
It turned out that a commercial was being produced for a local public park and trail system for bicyclists and runners, and the commercial called for people of various ethnicities to be featured in it. Ultimately, Stephen was not cast in the commercial, possibly in part due to his clumsily worded joke about how silly it is for someone to run around if they are not being chased.
