Filmmakers: George Marshall Ruge (Stunt Coordinator)

George Marshall Ruge (Stunt Coordinator) returns following his thrilling work on both “Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl,” which won him an American Choreography Award, and “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest,” for which he is a current nominee for the Taurus World Stunt Awards as Best Second Unit Director and Best Stunt Coordinator.
Ruge was the Stunt Coordinator / action designer on Peter Jackson's “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, which included some of the most ambitious and complex action sequences in motion picture history. He was also Stunt Coordinator and Second Unit Director on Jerry Bruckheimer's production of the action hit “National Treasure,” and performs the same tasks on “National Treasure: Book of Secrets.”
Born in San Francisco, Ruge studied theatre arts and acting while working as an actor in Bay Area theatre, film and television productions, he also directed plays for The Loft Theatre Group, of which he is a founding member. The company produced several original plays while Ruge was in residence.
Ruge then turned his attention to film and relocated to Los Angeles to pursue those interests.  Since that time, Ruge has performed in numerous feature film productions, among them “Come See the Paradise,” “L.A. Story,” “The Doors,” “The Mask of Zorro,” “Chaplin,” “Barfly,” “Mars Attacks!,” “George of the Jungle,” “Conspiracy Theory,” “City of Angels,” “Bulworth,” “Lethal Weapon 4,” “Swordfish,” “Gattaca,” and “The Limey,” among many others.
He has portrayed longtime hero Basil Rathbone in the biographical telefilm chronicling Errol Flynn's life, “My Wicked, Wicked Ways.” Ruge also dueled with Peter O'Toole in “My Favorite Year,” playing the role of Lord Drummond opposite O'Toole's Robin Hood characterization.
On television, Ruge has guest-starred in numerous telefilms and episodes of such series as “Knots Landing,” “Wizards and Warriors,” “Quantum Leap,” “Tour of Duty,” “Renegade,” “SeaQuest DSV,” “Walker, Texas Ranger,” “V.I.P.,” “Chicago Hope,” “Columbo,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Murder She Wrote,” “The Enemy Within” and “Nash Bridges.”    
Ruge was the recipient of the Bank of America Drama Award for Acting and the Drama Circle Critics Award for Best Actor in a dramatic play, and garnered a Stuntman's Award for Best Fight Sequence in a Motion Picture.
Ruge has served two elected terms, in 1996 and in 2000, as President of the Stuntman's Association of Motion Pictures before leaving that organization to pursue other creative interests, including the formation of his own independent film production company, Rolling Fog Productions, which currently has one film in production and several others in development.
Ruge is a published poet, and has written several screenplays.
