Dick Young nació el 28 de febrero de 1937 en Estados Unidos. Fue un actor, conocido por The Shark Is Still Working (2007). Murió el 3 de octubre de 2009 en Massachusetts, Estados Unidos.
Best known for speaking two words in Jaws. After Hooper, played by Richard Dreyfuss, answers the question of what kind of shark was caught, saying, "It's a tiger shark," Dick's character says, "A what?" with a prolonged emphasis on the word "What" that stills gets a jovial reaction from audiences when the movie's screened.
