George Landen Dann (1904 – 1977) was an Australian playwright, writer, and draftsman. He is best known for a number of award-winning and critically acclaimed plays such as In Beauty It Is Finished, Fountains Beyond, Caroline Chisholm and The Orange Grove. Dann wrote dozens of published and unpublished plays over the course of his lifetime. Originally writing plays for the amateur dramatic society at Sandgate, Queensland, Dann was a particularly shy and reclusive person, and even though he wrote part-time, his more popular plays were widely performed by amateur theatre companies around Australia. George Landen Dann's writing has been appreciated for its social realism, with a number of his plays delving into issues involving Indigenous Australians and their central characters reflecting individuals that Dann had met during his time in outback Australia.

But seriously, how can we forget GEORGE NEWBERN? He is the voice actor for Superman in many DC animated films and most importantly of all: SEPHIROTH in the Final Fantasy videogame series. Sephiroth is like the coolest villain ever, and George Newbern absolutely deserves all the glory we can give him. Look him up!
P.S. He also played Danny on season 5 (or 6?) of "Friends".

George was the oldest son of Arthur and Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, two close friends of J.M. Barrie, author of Peter Pan. Contrary to what that piece of crap film Finding Neverland would have you believe, George and his younger brother Michael were Barrie's favorites of the five Davies boys, and his greatest inspirations, despite Barrie's play's titular character's name being Peter Pan. George is reportedly responsible for uttering Peter Pan's famous line, "To die will be an awfully big adventure."
On another note, the meaning "earth worker" makes me think that whomever is called George is an earth bender (like from Avatar: The Last Airbender).

To add my personal opinion, I know one teenager named George, and it fits him very well. He's moderately attractive, smart, sweet, and musical. We like to call him Peter Pan, since his first and last name are right out of Peter Pan.
