George Coe is an American actor who has appeared in many films, television shows and on the stage.
He portrayed Ben Cheviot, the eventual head of Network 23, in Max Headroom (TV series). He was also an original member of the "Not Ready For Prime Time Players," the original cast of Saturday Night Live, but he was only credited as a cast member for the first three shows (October 11, 18, and 25 of 1975), often as an announcer in fake commercials.

He was himself nominated for an Academy Award for the 1968 comedy short film The Dove, a parody of Ingmar Bergman's films, which he co-directed as well as starred in.
