Talk:Chuck Connors

Military

In October of 1942, Chuck Connors dropped out of school (Seton Hall) on his senior year to enlist in the US Army. He served as an instructor at the tank-warfare school at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, followed by a posting at West Point. He was discharged in 1946.

Underground film career?

Haven't there been rumors that he played in stag films (as they were then called) at some point in his career? --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 12:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I, too have heard these rumors. From the best I can tell, they are not true. It stems from an early 70's male-on-male porno involving a man who looked similar to (but was not) Chuck Connors. Interestingly, the real Chuck Connors has a foreskin whereas this look-a-like did not. Or so teh internets tell me. 71.205.13.162 04:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Saw a frame from the porn in a magazine once. Easy to see how people could be confused, because it was a close facial resemblance. But it looked to me as though he wasn't as tall as Connors, either. Hypercallipygian (talk) 06:49, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Chuck Connors played baseball with my father in Cuba in the early 50's. Chuck taught me how to swim! We have shots of him on old home films my dad took in Havana.

Chuck was my cousin (somehow) He was the first player to break a backboard in the NBA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.95.182.125 (talk) 14:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

Infobox birthplace flagicon

I've just changed the flagicon in the infobox for his birthplace, since Newfoundland wasn't in Canada at the time. -- Arwel (talk) 01:58, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Numerous sources [1] [2], [3], [4] list his place of birth as Brooklyn, New York. Why is Placentia Bay, Dominion of Newfoundland listed here? Hirolovesswords 23:48, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Brezhnev presents

Brezhnev once personally presented Connors with a set of two ancient pistols. As Connors' role name in the international version of "The Rifleman" was John McLean it was said that Brezhnev was fond of this character because of the similarity to a Western spy of the same name who worked for the Soviet Union. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.5.99.252 (talk) 11:10, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Confusion re' 1942

Two differing accounts. In one he enlisted in the army; the second is he left to play for Yanks, but after a year army grabbed him. Both can't be correct. Will someone please change.Mwinog2777 (talk) 04:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Complete rewrite

This article is probably one of the less appealing ones on w/p. If there is any way someone could proof read and edit this article, that would be fantastic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 160.93.131.83 (talk)

Edit

I just made a large edit to the article - mainly tried to tighten it up and remove bad sentence structure, spelling, and grammar. It's still pretty awkward reading because I didn't want to revamp the whole article from start to finish. If I did delete any necessary info, please feel free to put said info back in. I deleted the entire quotes section: the quotes can be found on IMDB and I feel that an actor of Connors' fame doesn't need a whole section of quotes; it's not John Wayne we're writing about here.

The reference in the biography section links up to a fan site - guess it should be changed to link up to a more reliable and professional resource such as IMDB. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claire Wolf (talk • contribs) 23:26, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
