Mohammed "Mo" George

(Former Eastenders actor)

Affectionately known to viewers and fans of Eastenders as 'Gus'- Mo was born in Hackney, East London. George made guest appearances in Holby City, Bottom (as a young trick or treater in the episode Terror), Kidulthood and the lost detective. He has also starred as Dennis in the children's program Renford rejects in 2000.
George is now a full time DJ playing in clubs across the UK.

George will give Access UK an invaluable insight into the BME experience in media and television. We aim to utilise his experiences and knowledge to expand the horizons of youths who want to pursue a career in film and entertainment but for a variety of reasons are reluctant to take the first step into this field.
