Happy Birthday to

Burt Young

70 today

Burt Young is one of those I-know-him actors, who contantly is doing great work in thankless roles. For instance he simmered in films like Chinatown, Once upon a Time in America and Last Exit to Brooklyn, as well as showing a touching side in Rocky (I confess he's been thanked a little for "Paulie", having returned for many of the lucrative sequels - including the most recent one - and garnering an Oscar Nod). He's also still showing up in great looking films, I'm still hoping to see New York, I Love You (maybe in September???) and he's also backing up Thomas McCarthy's follow up to The Visitor: Win Win.
