Movies with George Potts

George Potts is a versatile British character actor with an impressive range that spans comedy, drama, and historical films. While his name may not be a household one, Potts has delivered memorable performances in a diverse array of projects over the past two decades. Potts' ability to seamlessly inhabit quirky, offbeat characters is showcased in films like the darkly humorous The Death of Stalin, where he plays a bumbling Soviet official, and the family comedy Nativity 2: Danger in the Manger!, in which he brings humor and pathos to the role of a hapless school teacher. But Potts is equally adept at more dramatic material, as evidenced by his nuanced turn as a father grappling with grief in the acclaimed 2020 miniseries The Third Day: Autumn.
