With his tall lanky frame and goofy expressions he could have been the model for Disney's Ichabod Crane.  His hug dark rimmed glasses gave him a owl like apperance, and infact he was quite the book worm. He seemed to always have his nose in a book and could quote statistics all day. Unfortunately, although he had book smarts, he did not have comon sense. His plans for helping his father trap Buddy were genious, but his exicution of those plans was not.  No matter how hard he tried, they always seem to come apart in the end, which was lucky for Buddy. His love for his father was quite apparent and he was no doubt his fathers best friend. Although he tried hard to fit in with the other thugs, there was a kindness about him that made him stand out. He seemed to understand and at times even sympathise with their timid target. Although he knew what his father planed to do to Buddy, he seemed to think it would all work out in the end and no one would get hurt.  Although not as exaggerated, his Stan Laural type manerisims added to his appeal.  With his puckered lips and rolling eyes, his facial expressions were no less appealing then Sheldons himself, Connell had his own group of fans and who could blame them, he was without a doubt a memorable character.

He has been in dozens of shows including The Partridge Family, Gidget, That Girl, Get Smart, Boa, Chico And The Man, The Carol Burnett Show, The Andy Griffith Show, Love American Style, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Faraday And Company, Donny And Marie, The Rear Guard, Thicker Than Water, Arnolds Closet Revenue, The Good Guys, Occasional Wife, Summer Fun, The Adventures Of Wild Bill Hickok, and The Wild Wild West. His movies include Gargoyles, The Picasso Summer, Once Upon A coffee House, Wizards, Call Holme and The Wild One. He has been a writer for such shows as Battlestar Galactia, Donny and Marie, and  movies like Childs Play. Art Director for Stakeout On Dope Street, and Production Director for shows like Porky's.
