Sylvester Stallone is paying tribute to his “Rocky” co-star Burt Young, who died at the age of 83, according to The New York Times. “To my Dear Friend, BURT YOUNG, you were an incredible man’s and artist, I and the World will miss you very much...RIP,” Stallone captioned a black-and-white photograph of them together. Young played Rocky’s brother-in-law Paulie in all of the “Rocky” movies.
Young, whose first on-screen credit dates back to a 1969 appearance on the daytime soap opera “The Doctors,” said he was the only person in “Rocky” who did not have to audition to be in it. “I was on the MGM lot when Sly Stallone came over and introduced himself to me, told me he wrote ‘Rocky’ and said ‘you gotta do it,’” he told The Sweet Science in 2009. “I wanted to do it right away, but wanted to twist their arms a little bit, not look too eager.
