Kicker, Going The Distance by Cy Young
KICKER ONE BLURB
Frankie Scarmazino, top kicker in the NFL and breaker of hearts, decides to spice up his life moonlighting as a PI.
His first case: after taking a major hit in a New York Giant’s game, he nurses his wounds and heads to Jasper, Arkansas, to investigate the death of a fellow player’s brother. On arrival, he endures a different kind of hit. He’s devastated by a stunningly beautiful lawyer who draws him into her battle against vicious wife-abusers and a serial killer.
Mira Strickland has just returned to her hometown in Jasper, Arkansas from NYC where she was exonerated of killing her abusive husband in self-defense. Her current conflict is with the local sheriff who’s convinced, because of the fact that she killed her husband, that she’s the murderer of the three local abusers, but he can’t prove it.
Frankie, initially, isn’t sure if she is the killer, but is suspicious, especially when he finds a piece of evidence at the murder site that he thinks belongs to Mira and that his own life may also be in danger.
Meanwhile, another dangerous threat is surfacing. It unlocks a torrent of snowballing events that utilize all Frankie’s skills to survive.

Mr. Young began his professional career as a member of the Meryl Abbot Dancers at the Em- pire Room of Chicago’s Palmer House. After a year on the road dancing the “Steam Heat” number in Pajama Game, he repeated the per- formance in the New York City Center produc- tion. He appeared Off-Broadway in T h e Boyfriend and Diversions and a revue at New York’s Blue Angel by Chicago’s Fred Ebb. On Broadway, Cy was featured in a revue, Girls Against The Boys starring Bert Lahr, and was a principal in Subways Are For Sleeping, a Comden & Green musical. Simultaneously, he was a reg- ular performer in revues at New York’s elegant Upstairs At The Downstairs nightclub and can be heard on many Upstairs recordings. He is also a featured singer on Ben Bailey’s Painted Smiles albums of Rodgers & Hart and Jerome Kern. Next came a national tour of Once Upon a Mat- tress in which he played Prince Dauntless to Buster Keaton’s king, followed by a tour of On A Clear Day starring Howard Keel and Karen Black. Mr. Young stopped the show each night with Cy’s spectacular rendition of Wait ‘Til We’re Sixty Five. Called to London by Diversions director Steven Vinaver, he starred as Bobby in Sandy Wilson’s Divorce Me Darling at the Globe Theatre and can be heard on the original cast al- bum. Cy’s most recent performances were in Oklahoma City’s Lyric Theater’s productions of The Music Man (Mayor Schinn) and George M (Jerry).
Mr. Young has had three plays published by Samuel French and three musicals produced in New York City Off-Broadway. Other writing credits include over 40 radio plays for Heartbeat Theatre in Los Angles, animation scripts for Rankin Bass, 2 optioned screenplays, and 3 children’s musicals which he recently produced for performances in the New York Public School system. Cy’s song, Draw Me A Circle, is on the Barbra Streisand Third Album and was used to open one of her early TV specials.
Cy is a member of Actor’s Equity Association, Screen Actor’s Guild, and The American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. He holds an Active Membership in The Dramatists Guild as well as The Author’s League of America and is a graduate of Northwestern University.
I don’t have time for hobbies, I’m too busy writing, doing metaphysical work (I try for 5 hours a day to reverse material sense testimony) and working out (I try to walk 2 to 3 miles a day and do 500 pushups a day) and vocalize half an hour a day (I performed in NYC on Broadway in musicals and clubs). Singing is great for breath, deep breathing, blood, and entire physical being. So, you can see, this keeps me occupied. I keep mentally occupied at all times, no absent dreaminess garbage thoughts, keep focused, Cy!
