PC George began his acting career with theatre and soon graduated to Malayalam films. He got a huge break in his film career after he was posted in the state capital city. In the early 80s, his career graph went high after his stunning performance in the Mammootty-starter 'Sangham' in 1988. He acted in more than 70 films, to name a few are 'Aayirappara', 'Innale', 'Chanakyan' among others. Reportedly, the last rites would be held on Saturday at his home parish near Thrissur.
