As a young man in Scotland, singer George Orr played in bands and dreamed of becoming a rockstar. After repeatedly being told that he looked and sounded too much like a fellow newcomer named Rod Stewart, George’s dream slowly faded. Forty years and many professional sidetracks later – including stints as a martial arts trainer and a Miami paparazzo – George was able to turn the very thing that held him back in his early attempt at a career in music into his ticket to success later in life. As a renowned Rod Stewart tribute artist, George entertains sold out crowds with his singing and Chardonnay-soaked banter. NOT ROD is a short documentary about a big personality who reminds us that it is never too late to do what you love.
