His first TV role was in the children's show "The Adventures of Pete & Pete" (Nickelodeon 1993-96), in which he played a bus driver. He continued to appear in small roles on TV and in movies, including a brief part on "As The World Turns" (CBS 1965-2010), along with a variety of short-lived television shows. Young was cast in a lead role in the satire "The Comeback" (HBO 2005/2014), which aired in 2005, was cancelled, and then returned in 2014.
