Captain Carleton Scott Young (October 21, 1905 – November 7, 1994) was an American character actor who was known for his deep voice.[1]

Early years

Young was born in Fulton, Oswego County, New York, the second and only surviving child of civil engineer Joseph Henry Young and Minna Emma Pauline "Minnie" Adler. His parents were married in 1897 but divorced by 1920. Young's brother Reginald lived for 26 days in 1902 but died of an acute infection and convulsions.

Young was raised in Syracuse, New York, but was living in Ogden, Utah, with his divorced father by 1930.[2]

Military service

Young enlisted in the U.S. Army when he was age 35 as a private in the air corps. He left the service with the rank of captain.[3]

Career

Young appeared in 235 American television and film roles, debuting with The Fighting Marines (1935). He ended his career in the 1973 television series The Magician, which starred Bill Bixby. He was a member of the John Ford Stock Company.

Film

Young played Billy the Kid's sidekick Jeff Travis in the first five films of the Billy the Kid film series from 1940 to 1941.[4]

Young also appeared in Reefer Madness (1936), Navy Blues (1937), Dick Tracy (1937), Valley of the Sun (1942), Flying Leathernecks (1951), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), From Here to Eternity (1953), 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), The Horse Soldiers (1959) and North by Northwest (1959).

Portraying a newspaper editor in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), he spoke one of the most famous lines in Western film history: "No sir, this is the West: When the legend becomes fact, print the legend."[5][6][7]

Radio

Young's radio career included a brief star turn as the title role in the short-lived crime drama The Whisperer (1951),[8] loosely derived from the longtime crime hit The Whistler. Young played attorney Philip Gault, whose voice was destroyed in an accident and who developed a sardonic whisper to compensate until his voice was restored.

Young's other roles in radio programs included:

Other activities

Young formed the Los Angeles Smog Corp. to manufacture cans of "genuine Los Angeles smog", which were sold as novelty items.[10]

Personal life

Young married Helen Virginia Haberbosch in 1931; the couple was divorced in 1935. He remarried, but was divorced again before marrying Ngum Yee "Emma" Hom (known as Noel Toy) in 1945, to whom he was married at the time of his death.
