Connors was a very underrated actor


He was great on The Rifleman. In last last few years I've seen a lot of episodes over and over and his acting never fails to impress. He's as good as any actor I've ever seen in a TV western.

Yes, he was great. You must see him as Buck Hannassey in "The Big Country" for an example of his portrayal of a craven villain. He filmed that just before he started on "The Rifleman", and should have had an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
