Tony Young Movies or Tv Shows (upto Apr 2024) - Watch Online

As the son of radio, TV and film character actor Carleton G. Young, dark, dexterous and good-looking Tony Young was exposed early on to the machinations of the Hollywood industry. Born in New York in 1937, he was raised in Hollywood after his father's on-camera character work increased. Although Tony was offered some film roles in the early 1950s while still a teen, his father insisted that Tony receive a proper education first before putting together any kind of acting career.Following a hitch with the US Air Force, Tony attended Los Angeles City College. Working initially as an NBC page, his interest in acting had not flagged after all this time and the virile, brawny wannabe began landing TV roles in 1959 with such western shows as Overland Trail (1960), Der zweite Mann (1959), Bronco (1958) and Am Fuß der Blauen Berge (1959), not to mention bit parts in the films Ich kaufte ein Chinesenmädchen (1960) and Ehekarussell (1961).In 1961 Tony was handed his own weekly series as a cavalry undercover agent in the TV western Gunslinger (1961). While the program was short-lived, it managed to basically pigeonhole him as a western player. Such lowbudget films as Die Revolverhand (1964) (in which he played a U.S. marshal) and Taggart (1964) (in which he is accused of murder and must clear his name) followed.On the TV front, reliable guestings occurred on such popular shows as Raumschiff Enterprise (1966), Die Leute von der Shiloh Ranch (1962), Medical Center (1969), Bonanza (1959) and Die Straßen von San Francisco (1972).From there Tony moved more into to character work supporting Elvis Presley in his non-musical western Charro (1969) and James Garner in the Italian "spaghetti western" A Man Called Sledge (1970). Roles in action-adventure and blaxploitation flicks also came and went in the early 70s, including Chrom und heisses Leder (1971), Play It As It Lays (1972), Visum für die Hölle (1972), Superchick (1973) and Revolte in der Unterwelt (1973).Twice married (and divorced) to actresses, Tony's father died of cancer in 1971 at age 64. Tony retired from acting in the early 1990s and later succumbed to lung cancer in 2002 at the very same age as his father. He had one child by second wife Madlyn Rhue, who co-starred with him on both film and TV both before and after their divorce. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Gary Brumburgh / gr-home@pacbell.net
