Burt Young is best known for his Academy Award-nominated role as Sylvester Stallone’s brother-in-law and best friend Paulie Pennino in the Rocky film series. However, did you know that he is quite the active artist? 
He is a painter whose art has been displayed in galleries throughout the world! Burt was a pro boxer (pre ROCKY!) so a lot of his paintings have a boxing theme. Burt has always had an interest in the arts but his heavy acting career, which features an AMAZING filmography, naturally came first…now he devotes most of his time to his artwork and it is quite impressive!
