Young was a busy actor after that, appearing in dozens of films in the 1930s and 1940s, usually in supporting roles, including "Strange Interlude" (1932), "Tugboat Annie" (1933), "Spitfire" (1934), "Secret Agent" (1936), "Stowaway" (1936), "Northwest Passage" (1940), "Western Union" (1941), "Lady Be Good" (1941), "Claudia" (1943), "The Canterville Ghost" (1944) and "Crossfire" (1947).
Young was nominated for an Emmy award in 1956 for his role in "Father Knows Best," and was nominated for the Golden Globe award as best actor in a television drama for five consecutive years for "Marcus Welby, M.D.," from 1970 to 1974.

 Robert Young
At the request of MGM head Irving Thalberg, Young's role was expanded during shooting, thus the young actor was launched on the road to stardom (his first-released film was the Charlie Chan epic Black Camel [1931], which he made while on loan to Fox Studios).
Young became a millionaire thanks to his part-ownership of Father Knows Best, which, despite a shaky beginning, ran successfully until 1960 (less popular was his 1961 TV dramedy Window on Main Street, which barely lasted a full season).
His second successful series was Marcus Welby, M.D. Young's later TV work has included one-shot revivals of Father Knows Best and Marcus Welby, and the well-received 1986 TV-movie Mercy or Murder, in which Young essayed the role of a real-life pensioner who killed his wife rather than allow her to endure a painful, lingering illness.

Despite some badly dated scenes of Robert Young "preaching" about racism, "Crossfire" is a terrific film noir with an excellent cast and stylish, shadowy lighting that creates a very dark atmosphere for a story of hatred and murder.
Robert Ryan, Gloria Graham and Paul Kelly are particularly memorable, but Robert Young and especially Robert Mitchum could have played their parts in their sleep.

Robert started his show business career at the age of six when he was discovered by his manager, Jeff Mitchell, of J. Mitchell Management while walking down the street in Manhattan with his dad.
Robert was immediately hired to appear in a Pizza Hut commercial but quickly decided that he really wanted to just be a "regular kid" so he retired from show business to concentrate on school, sports and his friends.

 Robert Young - Films as actor:, Publications
After a long screen career that was noteworthy primarily for his survival while other, more flamboyant actors burned brightly and then disappeared, Robert Young achieved his greatest success at an age when most actors begin to think of retirement.
Young's strongest screen work came in the immediate postwar period: The Searching Wind (playing a deluded U.S. ambassador in prewar Europe); They Won't Believe Me (as a deceitful husband); and Crossfire (as a weary but determined cop attempting to solve a murder).
In the end, the actor merged both aspects of the character to create a man, who, although physically deformed, could look upon himself as miraculously whole in the aspects of life that are the most meaningful.

 Language Log: Playing one 3
I am old enough to remember the TV series, "Marcus Welby, M.D." The actor, Robert Young, portrayed a friendly, wise, and incredibly available physician who never lost a patient except when it would increase the show's Nielsen ratings.
Several sources suggest, in fact, that for Young himself the boundary between Young and Welby was none too sharp, so that he would have found it unnatural to separate himself from his television character.
Actor Robert Young was best known for his roles in the TV shows Father Knows Best and Marcus Welby, M.D. In both shows, he played the role of a very stable and wise person that people could turn to in times of confusion and agitation.

An affable, forthright lead with prototypical "average guy" good looks, Robert Young entered films in 1931 and for 25 years embodied the easygoing but eminently sensible US male.
Headlining many programmers and medium-sized "A" productions, he made films in every genre, and was often cast as an agreeable consort to more dominant star actresses.
