he was so much different as a younger man than when he got older. In AOAM he looks much leaner, boyish and smooth. Ten years later he would gain about 50 pounds, added a few wrinkles, some gray hair and a more gruff voice.
I prefer the older George. He had more character and grew into his persona later in life.
I find his faster-than-the-speed-of-light delivery of the words "Mr. Paquette..." to be absolutely hilarious, although this was not Scott's intention. He is also brilliant in "The Hospital." That was a tour de force given at the very peak of his gruffy salt and pepper stage. Hilariously tragic. Or as he would pronounce it in his usual rapid fire way: "'lariouslytragic."

Good point. Still, I found his younger persona very impressive in AOAM. His fast-paced voice and pierce eyes really added a lot to the courtroom tension. His interrogations of Laura, the lieutenant and the dark-haired girl were specially grisping moments, showing the brilliance of his character as well as the sort of personal resentment and disgust he showed towards the two girls, Laura especially.

I actually liked his prosecuting attorney character.
It's that man again!!

Scott in "Patton" as a fifteen-year-old and didn't take to him at all because of his gruffness and foul mouth.
