He is never seen in Hollywood nightspots and takes no part in actors' disputes. He attended the mass meeting of the Screen Actors Guild last May but sat among the extras and left by the side door.

Incorruptible, Policeman Connors has been threatened on at least one occasion by an irate driver with a shotgun, and was once about to be assaulted by a burly victim in the lobby of a motion picture theatre when bystanders intervened.
