2023 Dead Celebrities/Athletes

[soccerdad72]

Burt Young always looked older than he actually was IMO. Was initially shocked when I found out he was 36 in Rocky
Most will remember him as Paulie. I thought he gave a great performance as Lou in Back to School. Best line- " I got 2 boys. I put one through college...... and the other I put through a wall"

Very underrated film (Back to School).

Burt pretty much played the same character in every movie, but he definitely played it to perfection.

Great movie, and a great cameo by Sam Kinison.

 

[Auggie]

Back to School is a great film, the scenes of Rodney in class are the best.

 

[clarkgriswold]

He was in a lot of things after, but my last real memory of him is as Bobby Baccaleri Sr. in an episode of the Sopranos.

I wonder how many will remember where this originated?

 

[YTOWN]

Probably only you, Zunardo, OldSoulon and TriangleMan. I'm sure some of the younger posters on here that see these are saying WTF?

I was surprised about the age as well. The role that stood out to me was that of a serial rapist in a 1997 episode of Law & Order - and darned if that episode didn't show up last night on WE. The change in his appearance here was pretty dramatic. Liposuction? Illness? Caveman diet? Whatever it was, it added to the threatening vibe his character put out.

Richard Moll. "Bull" from Night Court.

Had no idea he was 80. Had some memorable scenes in 1986's "House" as William Katt's Army buddy-turned-demonic-villain.
