He also appeared in such films as “Once Upon a Time in America” and “Back to School,” as well as a memorable guest-starring role on “The Sopranos.”
Burt Young, a cast member of the film “Rocky Balboa,” attends the premiere of the film in Los Angeles in 2006. Young, the Oscar-nominated actor who played Paulie, the rough-hewn, mumbling-and-grumbling best friend, corner-man and brother-in-law to Sylvester Stallone in the “Rocky” franchise, has died. He was 83.
But he was always best known for playing Paulie Pennino in six “Rocky” movies. The short, paunchy, balding Young was the sort of actor who always seemed to play middle-aged no matter his age. Along with a photo of the two of them on the set of the first film, Stallone wrote “you were an incredible man and artist, I and the World will miss you very much.”Sylvester Stallone, left, mugs with “Rocky” co-star Burt Young before a 1996 screening of the film to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
“It was a great ride, and it brought me to the audience in a great way,” Young said in a 2020 interview with Celebrity Parents magazine. “I made him a rough guy with a sensitivity. He’s really a marshmallow even though he yells a lot.” In a short-but-memorable scene in 1974’s “Chinatown,” he plays a fisherman who throws a fit when Jack Nicholson’s private detective Jake Gittes shows him pictures proving his wife is cheating on him.
