The popular phrase "I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV" from a commercial for Vicks 44 cough medicine has been erroneously attributed to Young due to his Marcus Welby, MD fame. It was actually spoken by actor Chris Robinson and then by Peter Bergman during the 1980s.
Oct 23, 2023 · Young’s portrayal of the compassionate and dedicated doctor earned him critical acclaim and further solidified his status as a beloved television actor. Robert Young received numerous awards and nominations throughout his career.
He won two Emmy Awards for his work in the series and a third for his depiction of Marcus Welby, the compassionate doctor who became personally involved in his patients’ lives, in the later series (1969–76). Young’s idealized TV roles were in sharp contrast to his life off the screen.
