Didn't know this

QuoteReuters reports:

    Connors, who was of Armenian descent, was born as Krekor Ohanian on Aug. 15, 1925, in Fresno, California. Tall and athletic, he attended UCLA on a basketball scholarship and was noticed by veteran Hollywood director William Wellman, who steered him into acting.

He changed his name to Mike Connors later in the 1950s.

RIP.

Looks like Bruce Geller reaaaally liked the Prisoner opening! (I had either forgotten or didn't know he and Levinson/Link dev'd this.)

Man, Joseph Campanella looks like a smug operator.  :)) Wonder if he survived Connors.

FYI, if you're a Mannix fan, he's on every day on H&I in the afternoons.  Set your DVR :)
