Actor, painter and author, Burt Young can be much better described as an all-around artist.
One of his most memorable performances was his Academy Award-nominated role as Sylvester Stallone’s brother-in-law and best friend Paulie in the ‘Rocky’ film series.

With over a hundred films under his belt, Young’s performances have always been poignant; he masters the portrayal of rough-edged characters with a seamless marriage of rawness and authenticity that instantly pulls you in.
Young’s work as a painting have been exhibited around the world and is also a published author whose works include two filmed screenplays and 400-page historically based novel called Endings.
