It’s not just Rocky, but Stallone, himself, who seems to draw strength from this tough-tender guy. And apparently the warm feeling he has for Young is mutual. “You’d have to be crazy not to love a guy like Sly Stallone,” Burt says. “What I mean to say is that Sly’s scripts for each of the Rocky movies have let us take twists and turns in character that surprise the audience and keeps them interested. Sly is not only a talented scriptwriter, he’s generous too.” Generous, indeed, for Burt Young went on to appear in all of the sequels to the original Rocky…except…ahem …the ROCKY “spinoff” CREED…
