George R. Robertson has played Sheriff Henry J. Hurst in the Police Academy films.
George has appeared in various films in recent years, but he is best known for playing Sheriff Henry J. Hurst in the Police Academy trilogy. The protagonist is first a sheriff before being elevated to the position of commissioner. He disagrees with the mayor’s policy, which states that the Police Academy must be open to all, regardless of gender, age, physical disability or other factors.
He intended to force some practitioners to quit by excluding those who were too old, too fat, or too muscular. But when he saw the success of Lassard’s academy graduates, he began to admire them. Henry began promoting Lassard’s school at various events, although he did not like Harris and Mauser’s antics. He is always worried about Commander Lassard’s actions and then develops an intolerance towards acceptance and knowledge.
