George Humbert (July 29, 1880 – May 8, 1963) was an Italian-born American actor, who appeared in more than 100 films between 1918 and the 1950s. He emigrated to the United States as Umberto Gianni as a steerage passenger on board the Italian steamer Sannio, which sailed from Genoa, Italy and arrived at the Port of New York in June 1907; he was examined by the U.S. immigration service on Ellis Island and allowed to enter the United States legally. He became a United States citizen in 1933.

Humbert was a nephew of Italian actor Ernesto Rossi, and he served as an ensign in the Royal Italian Navy.[1]
