Burt Young is celebrating his 85th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed actors of his generation.

Popular actor-painter-author Burt Young (Rocky, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 85th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Young, a cultural icon

Born Gerald Tommaso DeLouise in New York on April 30, 1940, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Young's not just a great actor, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Burt hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Burt Young as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 85.
