The show was about a man who could talk to his talking horse, and it was a huge success, running for five seasons. Young's performance in the show earned him another Emmy Award nomination. After Mister Ed, Young continued to work in television and film. He also provided the voice of Scrooge McDuck for Disney from 1974 until his death in 2016. Young was a versatile actor who was equally adept at comedy and drama. He was also a talented musician, and released several albums of music. Young was married three times and had four children. He died in 2016 at the age of 96.
