Burt Young, the Academy Award-nominated actor known for his timeless role as Paulie in the « Rocky » film franchise, has died at 83, his manager confirmed to ABC News.
« Burt was an actor of tremendous emotional range. He could make you cry and he could scare you to death. But the real pathos that I experienced was the poignancy of his soul. That’s where it came from,” his manager, Lynda Bensky, said of the veteran actor in a statement.
Young died earlier this month in Los Angeles, according to the New York Times, which first reported the news.
