Mini biography
American character actor noted for his deep, rich voice. Young made his Broadway debut in the early 1930s, appearing in such plays as 'Page Pygmalion,' 'The Man Who Reclaimed His Head,' 'Late Wisdom,' and 'Yesterday's Orchids.' Moving to Hollywood in 1936, he began getting small film roles and soon graduated to frequent appearances in B-Westerns and serials, occasionally as a supporting lead, but most often as a heavy. He was Dick Tracy's brother in 'Dick Tracy (1937)' , and was a familiar face in many oaters and serials at Republic, where he was a contract player (occasionally working under the stage name Gordon Roberts). In 1941, Young returned to Broadway to star in 'Cuckoos On the Hearth' by Parker Fennelly. Back in Hollywood, he made Westerns throughout the Forties, then began appearing in better roles in better films, becoming a late favorite of John Ford. His line in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), "This is the West, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend", has become synonymous with Ford. Young retired in 1970 and died in 1994, at the age of 89. He is often confused with Carleton G. Young, a radio performer who made a few films and who was the father of actor Tony Young.
