A little background on Burt’s screen life beyond our dear Paulie: After a guest appearance on TV’s “Baretta” (ABC, 1975-78), Young began his writing career with a script for the series and also penned the 1978 CBS TV-movie Daddy, I Don’t Like It Like This, acting in it opposite Talia Shire. That same year, he scripted and starred in Uncle Joe Shannon (1978), a critical and commercial flop about a down-and-out trumpeter based on his own relationship with his daughter.
