Carleton L. Young, known as Tony Young (June 28, 1937 - February 26, 2002), was an American character actor in film and television. In 1961, he starred at the age of twenty-three in the title role of "Cord" in the 12-episode CBS western television series Gunslinger, a replacement for Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater.
Young was born in New York City, the son of Carleton G. Young, a film and television character actor and the radio voice of the original Ellery Queen detective program. The Youngs moved to California in the 1940s, and Tony graduated from Los Angeles City College. He served in the United States Air Force.
His first acting roles were in 1959 in three western series, NBC's Fury and two highly acclaimed ABC productions, Lawman and Maverick.
In 1960, he appeared as The Sabine Kid in the episode "The O'Mara's Ladies" of the short-lived NBC western series, Overland Trail, starring William Bendix and Doug McClure. That same year he also appeared on Bourbon Street Beat detective series set in New Orleans, Tombstone Territory, and The Deputy, as Tweed Younger in "The Fatal Urge."
