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. Only 12 people have competed in both leagues. 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 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. The show aired from 1958-1963. 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. Edges irregular. Some wear
and creasing around edges. Verso has slight lifting. Otherwise, fine condition.
