George Waggner (September 7, 1894-December 11, 1984) was an American motion picture director, producer, and actor. Born in New York City, he made his film debut as Yousayef in The Sheik (1921). He later went on to star in Western films and was the composer for the film Oh Yeah! (1929). He was a writer for the film Gorilla Ship (1932), and the first film he directed was Western Trails (1938). Waggner also directed horror and mystery films including Man Made Monster (1941), The Wolf Man (1941), and The Climax (1944).
