Giorgio Ardisson, best known as George Ardisson (31 December 1931 – 11 December 2014), was an Italian actor.
Born in Turin, Ardisson debuted in a minor role in Mauro Bolognini's 1959 film Arrangiatevi!. After several secondary roles in sword-and-sandal and adventure films, he gained a huge success playing Agent 3S3 in the eurospy films Agent 3S3: Passport to Hell and Agent 3S3, Massacre in the Sun. According to director Sergio Sollima he was chosen for this role thanks to his physical appearance that made him credible as American.
Later Ardisson starred in several more spy films and spanned different genres, including spaghetti western and Italo-horror films.
