Thought he was on the verge of death in real life after watching him as Bobby Bacala Sr.

Young would have been in his early 60s when the episode, broadcast in March 2001, was filmed, and he plays a man diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.


Damn he pulled off the terminal part in that role really well.

Junior Soprano : [Referring to Tony giving the order to kill Mustang Sally] Cocksucker! This is an outrage! He can't have you clip someone in this condition

Bobby 'Bacala' Sr. : I want to do it. Eight years sitting on my arse, it'll feel good being useful for a change

Junior Soprano : This Sally's a tough kid, what if things don't go your way?

Bobby 'Bacala' Sr. : They don't? They don't, what the frick? I'm dead anyway


The hit

He looked the same age the last 50 years.




Yep, one of a few I can think of who always looked pretty much the same during their acting career.

Others include:

Burgess Merridith
Slim Pickins
Jack Elam
Walter Brennan
