Alan Young

Name at birth: Angus Young

Alan Young is most famous for his role as Wilbur, confidante to Mr. Ed, television's most famous talking horse. Young had a successful career in radio before moving into TV in 1950 for The Alan Young Show, a blend of skits and songs that highlighted his nice-guy persona and ran until 1953. He showed his dramatic skills on TV and films (notably 1960's The Time Machine), and was a regular on TV shows such as The Steve Allen Show, then had his own hit with Mr. Ed in 1961. Since that show left the air in 1965, Young has continued to work, mostly in television as a voice actor (he was Scrooge McDuck in DuckTales, 1987-90).

Young appears with Paul Lynde and Hank Azaria in our loop These Actors Do Cartoon Voices.

Along with Mr. Ed, Young appears (somewhat ironically) in our loop Seven Horses of Highly Effective People.
