Stephen Young

Stephen Young (born Stephen Levy; May 19, 1939) is a retired Canadian actor and television host. Biography Young was born in Toronto, Ontario to a financier father. Directly following high school at Forest Hill Collegiate Institute where he was student president, he signed with the Cleveland Indians, but his professional bid ended when he seriously injured his knee playing ice hockey. He spent the next few years as a salesman, then wound up in radio and TV commercial production. While travelling with a friend on a European excursion in the early 1960s, Young by chance got a bit part in the epic Cleopatra, then landed similar minor assignments in such other European-filmed epics as 55 Days at Peking, The Leopard, The Fall of the Roman Empire and The Thin Red Line.
