This week saw the passing of an icon of cinema: Burt Young. The guy was the quintessential American character actor. He played Uncle Paulie in the Rock series, he played Curly in Chinatown, Bed Bug Eddie in The Pope of Greenwich Village, and so much more.
He was only 35 in the first Rocky, but he always looked like he was 57-68. But Burt Young turned Burt Old and passed on into the next life - whatever that might look like. Perhaps he is seated at the right hand of our Father (Jesus' Dad) in Christian Heaven. Perhaps he is chugging victory grog in Valhalla. Whatever the case, he will live on through his splendid work in the Cinema.
Dude was The Balls. No bones about it. Let us bow our heads in grief, but lift our hearts into the skies. Pour one out for the last Real One.
