"What kind of a western hero is this? A guy who pushes women around, who uses a girl as a shield, who hires out to the highest bidder, whose code is that of the predator, the opportunist?" For Tony, "Gunslinger" is the first starring vehicle. But it was almost preordained. He is the eldest son of veteran actor Carlton G. Young.

Theatre was the boy's playground and mime was his sport. "I made mistakes," he admits. "For example, I didn't take advantage of the educational opportunities I had. I was my own worst enemy." Young was born in New York City. He went to California with his family in 1943, when his father got the call to star in a film for Fox Studios.

Gleem Paints mm and expert These are the hard deeds one will see from Cord, the "Black-Velvet" hero of the CBS-TV hour-long frontier series, "Gunslinger," Thursday from 9 to 10 P. M. Are they the deeds of a hero? Tony Young, the leathery new leading man picked to play Cord, took up the challenge gamely. "Cord may not be drawn according to Hoyle or Zane Grey. But you'll have to admit he's human," he said.

"Most western heroes are bloodless. Cord is a rare breed of man with whom it is difficult to identify. Nevertheless, he's a fascinating character. He has blood. In 1956, after a whirl at the theater arts in Los Angeles City College, Tony joined the Air Force.

He has passed up formal education but he was in the business of writing, producing and directing shows for Armed Forces Radio Service. Until "Gunslinger," Tony's career has consisted chiefly of three minor movie roles and about a dozen jobs as a Western Bad-man. "For some reason, casting directors had classified my face in the 'Real Mean' category," he said. Behind the face, however, is a still-boyish kid who attributes whatever he is or might be to his father. "There has been no involvement with so-called method.

My method is my own. If I believe what I am doing, the audience will believe me. That's my only" method." painting advice guarantee the most satisfying results!

In his own cold, calculating way he was a hero, doing the jobs and saving the lives for the cavalry.

If it required ruthlessness to do it, it was no more than life setting the pace." Then Tony popped a question of his own and promptly answered it. "How do you put a price on this kind of hero? He was his own worst enemy. Want to know something? So was I at one time." In the character Cord, Tony believes he found a personality akin to his own. "His reputation as Gunslinger got him his job as undercover man for the Army of the Arizona Territory in 1875. His life is brutal, shot with suspicion and hostility.

The low-slung gunbelt and quick eyes mark him as a Gunslinger and death usually follows him.
