8x10. Chuck Connors (1921-1992) was an American actor and professional
athlete. He played in both Major League Baseball (MLB) and in the Basketball
Association of America, the predecessor to the NBA. Following his career in
sports, he grew into an even more famous celebrity as an actor. His portrayal
of single father Lucas McCain in The Rifleman (1958-1963) is easily his most
recognizable role; the show ran for 168 episodes over five seasons and follows
the rancher and his son Mark McCain (portrayed by Johnny Crawford) as they
settle in at a new home in North Fork, New Mexico Territory. He earned his
first screen credit in Pat and Mike in 1952, where he portrayed a police captain.
After earning various television and film credits throughout the 1950s,
Connors beat out dozens of other actors for the role of Lucas McCain. After
The Rifleman ended, he picked up starring roles in television shows Arrest and
Trial (1963-1964), Branded(1965-1966), and Cowboy in Africa (1967-1968).
When none of these shows achieved the level of success that The Rifleman
did, Connors began to focus on the big screen, with roles in Soylent Green
(1973) and Airplane II: The Sequel (1982). In a return to television, he had a
memorable role in the mini-series Roots (1977) as a plantation owner, one of the
many antagonists of the series. The popular actor was awarded a star on the
Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1984. Lightly creased. Lightly toned at bottom left.
Slightly bowed. Otherwise, fine condition.
