Everybody in their 30’s looked old back then... But that was because I was in my teens. Now everybody looks young... Like real young.

Always a memorable character in whatever he was in.
My father loved quoting him from his turn as Lou in Back To School:
"My two sons...One I put through college...The other I put through a wall.

He was also in the Amityville Horror sequel which is probably the only one in that series that still holds up.

Watching Russian Doll w/ Natasha Lyonne. Burt played an elderly Jew and had some nice aphorisms.
What a fine actor. RIP

I love that movie and his part in it.
To: massmike
He was a good choice for 'Rocky.'
Young served a tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959; while in the Marine Corps, he boxed regularly, winning 32 of 34 boxing bouts.
