Joseph Young

born: 21 September 1900 Chicago, Illinois, United States of America

died: 07 May 1980 Hana, Hawaii, United States of America (age 79)

American actor, the older brother of fellow actor Robert Young. He is sometimes billed under the alias of Roger Moore. He legally adopted the name "Roger Moore" after a rift apparently developed between him and brother Robert (with Joe's wife apparently a factor), and as a result, Joe changed his name and removed himself from Robert and his family for the remainder of his life.

Real name: Joseph I. Young
