Amiable supporting player and occasional lead who broke into film in the early 1940s. Young appeared in several bit parts under his given name, Byron Barr, and the pseudonym, Bryant Fleming, before adopting the name of his character in the 1942 feature, THE GAY SISTERS (1942). While he proved capable in several dramatic parts (notably as the sleazy emcee in the haunting THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY?, 1969), Young seemed destined to play debonair cads in sophisticated light comedies such as TEACHER'S PET (1958) and THAT TOUCH OF MINK (1962). Young's third and fifth wives were actresses Elizabeth Montgomery and Kim Schmidt; he allegedly shot and killed Schmidt three weeks into the marriage before killing himself.  Nominated for Supporting Actor 1951: COME FILL THE CUP  Nominated for Supporting Actor 1958: TEACHER'S PET  Supporting Actor 1969: THEY SHOOT HORSES, DON'T THEY? 3 nominations, 1 Award
