The beginning of the show was one of the most awesome starts to a show ever, not only the rapid firing with the one ricochet but the look he gave the camera just as he slung cocked that Winchester. Funny how many of the western stars turned out to be the hard core conservative types, like Walter Brennan who was a John Bircher and also supported Goldwater. Interesting as well is how so many conservative types are found out t not be so conservative in private.
Met him in person. He was at Blockbuster grand opening, taking pictures & signing autographs. My husband is a great fan. We stood in line after waiting a couple of hours for Mr. Connors’ appearance. After an hour it was announced no more, Mr. Connors had to leave. People started leaving but my husband stood there, upset he didn’t get to meet his face actor. Mr. Connors looked over & saw my husband’s face. He motioned my husband over and said wait here, I’ll be right back. He took a quick break, came back and took pictures with my husband. Made his day.
We're very happy to know that you had a chance to meet Chuck. Thank you so much for sharing your life story. What other types of video would you like to see?
In 1986, I had the opportunity to meet and interview Chuck Connors at his modest apartment in Los Angels for a new TV station we had in Sacramento. The "Chuckker" was great. Very polite, respective, funny, and he had great stories. I had always liked watching "The Rifleman" and "Branded" when I was growing up in Brooklyn. Learning that he was also from Brooklyn made me appreciate his shows even more.
I'll always remember Chuck Connors as "The Rifleman." Chuck was a "natural" for the part and being 6' 5" just solidified the part even more for him. Johnny Crawford was my heart's crush in those days....thanks for the information on this, Facts Verse! Much appreciated. 👍
I remember him in "Branded." Interestingly, it was a show about an innocent man who was accused of desertion as an officer. The series was played during the Vietnam era when some soldiers were doing whatever to get discharged. It was skipped over but he was in the Army during World War 2. He was a sergeant. He was a tank instructor. Due to being a chain smoker he died at age 71 of lung cancer.
I met Chuck Connor and spent some time talking to him in the late 80's. I had a part time job working at a local quicky mart just down the hill from his part time home in Laguna Niguel, Ca. He had some kind of advisory job with the Orange County Sherriff Department. Sometimes on an early Sunday morning when it was slow he would come in to get a cup of coffee, and we would talk for 30 to 45 minutes about current events and politics. I never said I knew he was Chuck Connor's the Rifleman because I am sure he talked that one to death in his life. I just assumed he knew that I knew who he was.
Growing up I watched every episode of The Rifleman. The first gun I every purchased, at age eighteen, was a Winchester 30-30. As a kid in school, from Maine to Hawaii, kids often called me either Lucas or Mark. Your biographical sketch is the first time I've ever heard any dirt about Chuck Connors. If what you've said about his infidelity is true, it will make me feel less of the man. Chuck Connors certainly was a boyhood hero of mine. Thanks for doing this video. I hope you've well researched Chuck Connors and the life he led, on and off screen. Andy McKane, 3 December 2023, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
Thanks for the video, it’s well done. I had heard about his infidelity and rough side previously. As a kid in the early 60’s I watched The Rifleman reruns every afternoon. I think what made that series unique was the overall theme was of respect and peace. It wasn’t a “shoot’em up” show. A moral lesson in every show. I had heard about his athletic ability and it’s impressive that he played both baseball and basketball professionally. Sad to hear he was reckless in his marriages. A stain on his character. I wonder what his kids thought of him?
I was so young when that show was on. The only thing I remember is the opening. Everything else when I was that age was just plan jaw dropping. What a presence.
Chuck Connors played his character on "The Rifleman" to perfection! He was what every man wanted to be, i.e. Strong, but don't mess with him! In the early 50's, I remember Connors playing mostly secondary roles, as a "heavy"! After his successful tenure on "The Rifleman", I believe his unusually tall stature, prevented him from acquiring new parts & his "star status" receded quickly! Connors was successful in both acting & sports, as few others can say! R.I.P.!
Not a big surprise. The more powerful and the more "beloved" these stars get the more they think they are "untouchable" they think they are. The only thing i thought was cool was the way he treated his costars and the crew. With respect. That was nice to hear. Have a blesseddayeveryone.
He was really creepy in 'Tourist Trap'. I don't think that this movie had any blood or gore (or at least not much), yet it was really spooky and creepy. It's an absolute must for any Chuck Connors fan.
He's the COWBOY I was not born when the RIFFLE MAN started. But I was born the year 1963 when it ended. I LOVE THIS SHOW BECAUSE OF HIM WHAT HAPPENED IN HIS PRIVATE LIFE IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!! THIS IS WHEN I BOW OUT! HE'S AN ACTOR & HIS PRIVATE LIFE IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS!!!! Thank you Mr. Conners for all of the INSPIRATIONAL SHOWS YOU GAVE US 🇺🇸. LOVE & RESPECT 2 U 🙏🕯️🕊️💐🌹🇺🇸
I can remember when he was on a talk radio show in Los Angeles 95.5 Mark & Brian in the morning and they confronted Conners about him being in a Male on Male adult film! He didn’t deny it and he said he was never a receiver he was the pitcher! Lol
Chuck Connors. Best known on The Rifleman. If anyone that didn't like him called him a sod buster he would give that villain a mean eyed look. Threaten to harm his son he was immediately ready for action. 2 seasons on Branded as Jason McCord and appeared on 21 episodes as Jeb Hollister on The Yellow Rose of Texas which also starred David Soul, Noah Beery and Cybill Shepherd. R.I.P. TO A GREAT ACTOR.
@@mikeyates7931I remember that episode. He played a man who would box professional boxers who had won the heavyweight title and everytime he won a private bout at his mansion he stayed young.
Chuck was kind of a darker version of Roy Rogers. As mentioned in this video, Chuck thought that the rules didn’t really apply to him. In the case of Roy Rogers, Roy thought that they applied to everyone. I recall watching Johnny Crawford getting to work with Chuck on the Rifleman, and I was a bit envious because I had already told my parents I wanted to go to LA and audition for some TV shows. I figured if Micky Dolenz could do it, I could do it, and by the time I was in my teens, I realized that it was too late.
When I was seven, it was my favorite show. Years later I often laughed that a Rifleman episode was Luke reading the Bible , Mark in bed, but then the Micah rides up with a shotgun, and now for the next twenty minutes Lucas McCain is going to have to do nasty things to bad men. On the 21st minute, Mark goes back to sleep, Micah rides away and Lucas opens the Bible illuminated from the light of the Coal oil lamp and the flickering log flames. A perfect episode!!! I am 68 years old. 61 years of Lucas McCain.
He was also in the comedy movie Support Your Local Gunfighter with James Garner, Suzanne Pleshette and Harry Morgan. Though his part was not too long he played a gunfighter-for-hire who was to kill another gunfighter in the town of Purgatory. He was funny in his role that in a way poked fun at some gunfighter movies. Though he had his faults when it came to relationships with women he was still a good actor in everything he was in and that's how I will think of him.
Among his post-RIFLEMAN parts, he played an attorney on ARREST AND TRIAL, a series ahead of its time. If his Western RIDE BEYOND VENGEANCE isn't a classic, it should be.
un told truth in the intro rumours of domestic abuse . I do not call this evidence just gossip. Facts verse did get some things right but that can be gleaned on wiki.
Mr. Conner’s you are man of your own means ❤❤❤ love always you are one of a kind ❤❤❤❤& Mark I cried when he passed away love you both always. GOD BLESS you always& your family’s ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Chuck was also a spokesman for Scorpion snowmobiles in the late 1970's He appeared at the grand opening of our local Scorpion dealer here in North Dakota.
Last tv Chuck Connors was in was Fox’s Werewolf. He wasn’t the star but soon he took lead in the tv show. The young guy playing the lead part struggled against Chuck Connors great acting and overpowering presence. We were sad when Chuck passed.
You did not mention "Thrillseekers" his show he hosted about stunt men and daredevils. My wife and I met him at a Great Western Gun Show at the LA county fair grounds in Pomona, he was wearing his Thrillseekers jacket. He was quite affable and happy to talk to fans. In fact we were chatting in front of a table full of Western arms with Kareem Abdul Jabar who was also an affectionato of Western arms. Did not know of his infidelity but enjoyed his roles.
I just started watching the rifleman i think he is awesome😊just dont understand how people always wAnt to bring up things that isnt revelant everyone makes mistakes everyone rip chuck❤
Chuck Connor did many rolls when I remember he did a comedy role on the adventures of Superman back in the 50s and he also played on the TV show as a villain in the show werewolf but one of my favorite roles he did was a TV western, which is underrated call right to vengeance what had a great cast Chuck Connors, Michael RennieBill Bixby Claude, Akins, and Frank Gorsch you should check it out a really good movie.
There was NO "Rifleman" role reprisal. He did not play Lucas McCain ever since the series ended. It was a different role in "The Gambler". I maintained a relationship with PAUL FIX who played Micah. he sent me a number of letters hand written that I consider pretty rare these days. The original producers -Levy-Gardner still ow nthe series but have been unsuccessful in getting a reboot because of the GUNPLAY and use of firearms around a kid (mark McCain.
Chuck Conners played such a good role as the rifleman, it was hard to find other roles that he could play. I watched a few of the series Branded & it just didn't appeal to me as the rifleman did. Some actors put everything into a role & then aren't fit for any other role or roles. Sgt Bilko can only be played by Phil Silvers. Dirty Harry belongs to Clint Eastwood. The Twlight Zone belongs to Rod Serling. So as u can see these R my good examples of those past TV & movies we all once watched.
I always separate the actor from the person in real life. That's reality. Still watch the "Rifleman" on METV but frankly, he sounds like he was a real jerk. Heard he was an atheist, too.
I found this interesting. Marriages, infidelity, haughtiness.....I fell a little short of all that but did catch a couple of other things that would easily explain those things especially in the time period.
He was not a stern father in Old Yeller. He was a stranger looking for his dog. He was a good-hearted man in the picture. He played the opposite in the movie, Big Country, later on. I missed him by a day when I visited one of his favorite restaurants in Palm Springs in the late '80s. He was a favorite guest morning host for a Los Angeles rock station KLOS up until he died. Like many in Hollywood, when women throw themselves at you, it's hard to say no. No matter what side of the aisle you are on. Been like that since day one and up to today there. With domestic violence, growing up where he lived, and the time frame it was normal for him to see it happen around him. Good and bad behavior is learned from observation. Not condoning it since I saw it with my parents. Just saying. RIP Chuck, Johnny, and all who acted with them.
This is an incredible video. Incredible as in unbelievably bad. Maybe Conners really treated women poorly. But everything here was “according to rumors” and “sources say”. No names. No proof. That’s trash reporting. Do better next time.
He was kind of the epitome of the dumb actor. One day on set the armorer was late so Connors attempted to load his truck rifle with blanks, but didn't know how. He kept trying to jam them down the barrel. The last of his "career" he was hired to play the bad guys. In Africa during the filming of Shaft on Africa the crew was invited to have dinner with embassy staff. One of the secretaries related how Connors was drunk and harassing the secretaries quite aggressively and refused to stop. Richard Roundtree intervened and Connors started on him, so Roundtree slugged him over a table knocking him out.
His best work was in the movie "Move Over Darling" with James Garner, Doris Day, Polly Bergen and the incomparable Thelma Ritter. He's the playboy who was shipwrecked with Doris Day for 4 years. She returns to find herself declared dead and her husband remarried. Chuck is the playboy who returns to being, well, a playboy. However, he continues to pursue Doris. His performance was light, showing excellent comedic timing. Check it out. The movie is a remake of "My Favorite Wife" , same premise, with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
What’s wrong with men that they can’t keep their Peter in their pants? I love the show the rifleman. Sad he was such a cheat. He was a good actor though.
Chuck Connors was a great actor for being a non actor with a great screen presence.He should have been a bigger movie star than he was..As far as him being in gay porn is totally untrue as its a Hollywood urban legend and to bad that rumor got started over old black and white grainy footage with someone with a slight resemblance and who was much shorter than Chuck...it was put out in an old video called Hollywood uncensored with other fake footage of celebrities and some real

@@FactsVerse a serial adulterer? not likely, unless he had late in life conversion
R.I.P. Chuck Connors, we always watched the Rifelman, starring Chuck Connors
I remember him in "Branded." Interestingly, it was a show about an innocent man who was accused of desertion as an officer.
The series was played during the Vietnam era when some soldiers were doing whatever to get discharged.
It was skipped over but he was in the Army during World War 2. He was a sergeant. He was a tank instructor.
Due to being a chain smoker he died at age 71 of lung cancer.

Connors didn't play the father in OLD YELLER. Fess Parker did.
I loved this show when I was a kid. It was originally on way before my time, but I loved westerns as a kid.
Even though he had a minor part in the TV show, "Werewolf" as Janos Skorzeny, he still left an interesting impression.
You mean that a Hollywood actor was unfaithful to his wife? I'm appalled!
He was also in the comedy movie Support Your Local Gunfighter with James Garner, Suzanne Pleshette and Harry Morgan.

Chuck Connors reminds me of my dad
I remember watching the show when I was young. At that time, there were only westerns and war films on tv. I was elated when Star Trek came to tv.
I saw CHUCK CONNORS in 1981 at sunset boulevard, Hollywood.

We're happy to know that you're a fan of the show. In your opinion, what is its best episode?
R.I.P. to Chuck Connors
😊I enjoyed the opening of the show where he fired.his rifle
We remember it too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
He was on Branded too.
Interesting, thanks for sharing! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
He screwed around with dozens of women, but unlike Lee Marvin and some others, he didn't lose his fortune for it.
Good for the women he’s not a rock

He was a brilliant actor

He was out of form as a crazy weirdo in “The Mad Bomber”- 1973, but he played it well. 👍
I really liked him in the horror movie Tourist Trap.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
same. That is one scary/creepy movie--and they didn't need a lot of gore or violence to make it that way.
@monkeyb1820 I agree! Just a weird, creepy movie.
sorry for the typo. The movie was called ride to vengeance ,really good movie.
He looks a little bit like Glenn Campbell, or Willem Defoe, maybe Darryl Hall, and possibly Dennis Leary.
Yes
Loved him
We're happy to know that you're a fan. Which episode of The Rifleman appealed to you the most?
I seem to recall he also played pro football briefly. I may be wrong tho.
This is an incredible video. Incredible as in unbelievably bad. Maybe Conners really treated women poorly. But everything here was “according to rumors” and “sources say”. No names. No proof. That’s trash reporting.
Do better next time.
At "6-5" it's hard to fathom he was of Irish ancestry.
My grandmother used to babysit for him !!
That's Hollywood and America
why on the show credits do they not say kevin connor's instead of chuck, which was his real first name ?
Contrary to the video, he could not have been with the L. A. Angels minor league team in 1952 because the Angels did not exist until 1961.
Him and Dolph Lundgren look so much alike
Never guessed him for a womanizer
Chuck Connor rules

He was kind of the epitome of the dumb actor. One day on set the armorer was late so Connors attempted to load his truck rifle with blanks, but didn't know how. He kept trying to jam them down the barrel. The last of his "career" he was hired to play the bad guys. In Africa during the filming of Shaft on Africa the crew was invited to have dinner with embassy staff. One of the secretaries related how Connors was drunk and harassing the secretaries quite aggressively and refused to stop. Richard Roundtree intervened and Connors started on him, so Roundtree slugged him over a table knocking him out.
branded wasn’t bad
Four Star was sold to Film Rise.

Nothing bad to say about him.
Too bad he didn't take pride in being a man.

Really? He was a man’s man and a woman’s man. Not the bun wearing neutered guys in society today.

Rod Serling!!!
His best work was in the movie "Move Over Darling" with James Garner, Doris Day, Polly Bergen and the incomparable Thelma Ritter. He's the playboy who was shipwrecked with Doris Day for 4 years. She returns to find herself declared dead and her husband remarried.
Chuck is the playboy who returns to being, well, a playboy. However, he continues to pursue Doris. His performance was light, showing excellent comedic timing. Check it out.
The movie is a remake of "My Favorite Wife" , same premise, with Cary Grant and Irene Dunne.
What’s wrong with men that they can’t keep their Peter in their pants? I love the show the rifleman. Sad he was such a cheat. He was a good actor though.
Chuck Connors was a great actor for being a non actor with a great screen presence.He should have been a bigger movie star than he was..As far as him being in gay porn is totally untrue as its a Hollywood urban legend and to bad that rumor got started over old black and white grainy footage with someone with a slight resemblance and who was much shorter than Chuck...it was put out in an old video called Hollywood uncensored with other fake footage of celebrities and some real
Sounds like he was a real American
I can’t watch facts verse because you have to listen to someone swill coffee like a pig first
Don’t care boohoo, loved the Rifleman!
