Check out this great interview about Burt Young’s acting career from Adam Lawton for MediaMikes.com…From Burt’s early days of getting into acting to the Rocky Film series to The Sopranos? Burt Young has appeared in over 100 film and television roles since the 1970’s. He is most often known as the gruff brother in-law Paulie Pennino in “Rocky” series. Movie Mikes had the pleasure of speaking with Burt recently to talk about his career in the film business and a few of his upcoming projects. Adam Lawton: How did you get into acting? Burt Young: I was chasing a girl! I was about 28 at the time and this very attractive girl wanted to go to Lee Strasberg’s acting school but she couldn’t get in. At the time I had no idea who Lee was and actually thought he was a girl. I knew I could get into anywhere I wanted with perseverance so I wrote Lee a letter. I guess it sparked his interest as he invited me over and from there I became very involved.
