George B. Chan was an American art director. He was nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Art Direction for the film Gaily, Gaily.
I was very relieved when The Invaders was cancelled. I wouldn't have stayed for a third season.

Frankly, the show just annoyed the hell out of me. Why couldn't these powerful Invaders kill Vincent? Didn't this man have any family or friends? Where did he get the money to buy such fine clothes and travel everywhere? The character had no sense of fiscal responsibility, and it drove me crazy! I told Quinn it was ridiculous. They finally wrote a scene [in "The Captive"] that showed Vincent working on an architectural project to finance his crusade. [discussing his frustration with the TV series The Invaders]
