I'm thinking of blogging under the name George Glass. Not as the character from this movie but more of a quirky name. Would I get sued if I created a persona called George Glass? Kind of like Parez Hilton (without being about celebrites).

No. When someone is sued for using a name it's either because they are making the real person look bad or are posing as them either for financial gain or to damage that person's reputation. You would be doing none of these things. Also, it's not the name of a real person, just a character. No one could ever even prove you meant that specific George Glass, there are likely hundreds of real people with that name, nor would they try to do so or care. It's not even illegal to use content from other people's work like a character name because of fair use laws, you could only ever be in trouble if you tried somehow to make money off the Brady Bunch content and didn't properly attribute it as content that didn't belong to you. Nothing to worry about. Perez Hilton doesn't try to pretend he's Paris Hilton and no one would ever get them confused, that's why it's okay.
His full name is funnier, George Gunther Glass.
