"George's partner at the time was a fellow named Richard Rubenstein, and Richard produced a lot of George's work during that time, including the 'Tales From The Darkside' TV show, which I wrote and directed for four seasons, and then did the movie for Paramount," Harrison tells Space.com.

The disorder, which can cause mobility challenges, including the slightly stiff, older-looking gait fans often notice, was so central to his life that the creators of the hit Netflix series ultimately incorporated it into his character. The decision stemmed from Gaten Matarazzo's honesty during his audition. The actor…...
