He was always best known for playing Paulie Pennino in six Rocky movies
Burt Young, the Oscar-nominated actor who played Paulie, the rough-hewn, corner man and brother-in-law to Sylvester Stallone in the Rocky franchise, has died aged 83. Young died on October 8 in Los Angeles, his daughter Anne Morea Steingieser told the New York Times on Wednesday. No cause was given.
He berates the shy, meek Adrian for refusing at first to go on a Thanksgiving-night date with his buddy and co-worker Rocky Balboa and destroys a turkey she has in the oven. The film became a phenomenon, topping the box office for the year and making a star of lead actor and writer Stallone, who paid tribute to Young on Instagram on Wednesday night.
Paulie was an eternal pessimist who was constantly convinced that Rocky was going to get clobbered by his increasingly daunting opponents. His surprise at Rocky’s resilience brought big laughs. “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.
