- found: IMDb, June 20, 2019(Stephen Young (I); actor, writer; born Stephen Levy on May 19, 1939 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the early 60s, he was given by chance a bit part in the film Cleopatra (1963), then landed similar minor assignments in such other European-lensed epics 55 Days at Peking (1963), The Leopard (1963), and The Fall of the Roman Empire (1964). Upon returning to Toronto, Young decided to become a full-time actor, originally billing himself under his given name of Stephen Levy and appearing in leads on both daytime and primetime TV dramas. He headed the cast of one adventure series Seaway (1965). In Hollywood, he played in Patton (1970), Soylent Green (1973), Rage (1972), and after finally moving to Hollywood in 1966, in Lifeguard (1976) and in series drama Judd for the Defense (1967). A reliable player in mini-movies, he continued to return to his homeland where he was handed film leads in the horror thrillers The Clown Murders (1976) and Deadline (1984). Into the millennium he continues to appear in the crime dramas The Rendering (2002), The Skulls II (2002) and on Canadian TV)
