Paul Young (born 3 July 1944 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK) is a Scottish television actor.Son of the actor John Young.
Credits include The Tales of Para Handy, No Job for a Lady, Coronation Street and Still Game.
Paul has gone on to find more fame among the fishing community, fronting a series of fishing TV shows, which began with "Hooked On Scotland" on the BBC in 1991. The show enjoyed great success, winning a BAFTA for the first series. After two series, the show switched to ITV (Scottish TV), the name changing to Hooked on Scottish and Paul's brief widening to include trips to fishing around the world.
In 1999, Paul was hooked by Scottish, and the show - with much the same format of Paul catching fish in lots of interesting places, each episode showcasing a different type of fish - was taken on by the Discovery Channel with the name changing to "Hooked on Fishing". This ran successfully for 6 series up to 2004.I remember Paul losing his rod to a fierce take in one of the US episodes and taking chase in the boat.
Paul's latest venture in 2006 is Fishing Road Trip USA a 5,000 mile journey sampling the delights of fishing in the USA.You can't deny Paul has in particular popularised fly fishing with some impressive game fish from all over the world.
