Gerald Tommaso DeLouise (born 30 April 1940 in Queens, New York, USA; died 8 October 2023 in Los Angeles, California, USA), better known by his stage name Burt Young, was an American actor, author and painter. He was best known for his role as Rocky Balboa's brother-in-law and best friend Paulie Pennino in the Rocky film series (1976-2006).
Other notable films include Chinatown (1974), Convoy (1978), Amityville II: The Possession (1982), Once Upon a Time in America (1984), Back to School (1986), and Last Exit to Brooklyn (1990).
In March 2019 I met Burt at Comic Con Liverpool where he signed the Rocky IV poster. The autographs on the two Rocky Balboa photos were obtained through the mail in January 2015.
