When did George Burns play God? How many times did George Burns play God?

George Burns played the role of God in three films: “Oh, God!” (1977), “Oh, God! Book II” (1980), and “Oh, God! You Devil” (1984). In each film, Burns’ God appears to a different ordinary human and tasks them with a mission to spread God’s word. In “Oh God, You Devil,” Burns had the distinction of playing both God and the Devil.

George Burns was an American comedian, actor, writer, and singer whose career successfully spanned vaudeville, radio, film, and television.  He is also known for his arched eyebrow and cigar-smoke punctuation.

George Burns and Gracie Allen went on to make several films together, including “International House” (1933), “Six of a Kind” (1934), and “Love in Bloom” (1935). He was only a Tony Award shy of being one of the few EGOT award recipients in the American entertainment industry.

George Burns has three stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: a motion pictures star at 1639 Vine Street, a television star at 6510 Hollywood Boulevard, and a live performance star at 6672 Hollywood Boulevard.
