Young received his dramatic arts training under legendary acting coach Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio.Young first gathered notice playing tough thugs in such films as Spaghetti Killer (1971), Straße zum Jenseits (1972), Chinatown (1974) and Spieler ohne Skrupel (1974). Fiery director Sam Peckinpah cast Young as the getaway driver / assassin, "Mac", in Die Killer-Elite (1975), and Young came to the attention of newcomer Sylvester Stallone, who cast him as future brother-in-law 'Paulie' in the 1976 sleeper hit Rocky (1976). The talented Young was nominated for an Oscar, and has gone on to reprise the role in all five "Rocky" sequels to date!
