THE SHORT VERSION: Paramount owns
Star Trek and everything to do with it. I make no money off
this site; it's just for fun. For more details, read the long
version. Live long and prosper.

One Life to Live:
Zeus Zelenko #2 ! !
Fazia sent a blurb from a Connor interview describing the role: "I think I was blown up, or fell down an elevator shaft, or was blown up while falling down an elevator shaft. Zeus was the lackey for the villain on the show. I'd forgotten there was a No. 1."

Pensacola: Wings of Gold: "Trials
and Tribulations"
Lt. Kevin Willis 
Plays the attorney of a Marine falsely accused of shooting
the person her team was sent to rescue. She doesn't have
much faith in him at the outset (and ultimately someone
else finds the truly damning witness). The first of many
delicious appearances in uniform, and not the only lawyer,
either. |
|
ER: "Sharp Relief"
EMT
Zips by the camera before the teaser, shouts a few lines,
shows off that lovely nose.
|
|
Touched by an Angel: "Seek and Ye
Shall Find"
Paul Ratcliff !!
Ratcliff is a convicted murder who finds
God. He's executed, but gets to give a
really moving speech
beforehand. This marks the beginning of a pattern for our
boy: making characters who should be despicable scumbags
so sympathetic that we start rooting for them. Every time
I see this clip I start tearing up.

Sliders: "Prophets and Loss"
Samson 
Connor is the leader of a group of rebels
who are fighting an evil, corrupt theocracy which disappears
its enemies in an "acension" (a personality-erasing
brainwashing contraption), rather like if Pat Robertson
were elected president and got his hands on the Carousel
machine from Logan's Run. Gets sent through the
disapparatus, but the Sliders help him escape. |
|
FreakyLinks: "Three-Thirteen"
Ted
Plays a man whose eight-months-pregnant wife is haunted
with increasing urgency by the spirit of a local missing
girl.
The physical
trauma
is hers, but he has to watch the seizures, possessed piano-playing,
screaming, oil-vomiting, bleeding, and fainting. Enough
damage for a full recap.

Gideon's Crossing: "The Way"
Steve Tedesco 
Connor's character suffers from "priapism" (medical terminology for, uh, one of the unfortunate side effects of Viagra, although in this case he got it from too much bicycle riding). He spends a few scenes holding a briefcase and a hat box in front of him like he's trying to hide a pregnancy, because despite his intense embarrassment he doesn't want the doctors to touch him in order to treat him! Thanks to NX-Oner for the report.
|
| 61* :
NPC writer/reporter
Part of a group asking questions about whether Roger Maris's
home run record should have an asterisk. Connor explained
in
an
interview
that
he desperately wanted to
be in
the movie
just because he loves baseball, and didn't care what role
it was. Director Billy Crystal was there for his audition,
and when Crystal started ad-libbing, Connor kept right
up with him.

Far East:
Bob Munger
One of his early juicy roles,
and frankly he seemed to me like he was coming and going
from some other, much more interesting play. In Japan in
the '50s, Bob Munger is a closeted intelligence officer
who's blackmailed into selling secrets to the enemy. He's
almost a tertiary character to the main story, but what
little he has is riveting. Munger is forced to confess
and to out himself, and the resultant
disciplinary action keeps him from getting home to the
States in time to be with his father before he dies. Gets
dissed and then abandoned by his counsel (a mere pre-law
student) and is the brunt of several really filthy insults.
Maybe
he should have hired Willis from "Wings of Gold." Enough
damage for a full recap. |
| Enterprise: "The
Crossing"
Trip Tucker 
I include this because Trinneer
himself was injured when battling Phlox's stunt guy. He
got a small cut on his eyebrow which required a few stitches
to close.
|
|
|
|
Numb3rs: "Toxin"
Bob McHugh
McHugh is a cattle rancher who allegedly
shot a federal agent investigating beef tainted with antibiotics.
He's been framed for the whole thing by the pharmaceutical
company, and has been living on the lam for a few years.
The main cast has to bring in guest sniper Lou Diamond
Phillips to track him down. McHugh
has a minor run-in with a barbed-wire fence, but ultimately surrenders without
bloodshed when evidence is found to clear him. (Besides all the mugs and T-shirts
with his face on them.)
|
|
Close To Home: "Privilege"
Eric Foster
Plays the public defender of
a white supremacist serial killer. His client describes
where he's hiding the bodies, and he has to go out to check.
Withdraws from the case after a crisis of conscience to
save another victim, and has to testify about the bodies
in grim detail.
|

Stargate: Atlantis: "Michael"
Lt. Michael Kenmore/Wraith
A Wraith who's been retrovirused to become
human, or so his leftover human genes surface, or something.
His memories are wiped by the initial drug treatment, so
the SGA team invents an identity for him. Ronon roughs
him up. Finds out what the team has done and is devastated
by the betrayal. Stunned twice and shot once. Tied up.
Reverts to Wraith-type, but retains human memories, so
he's now in a kind of emotional limbo. More appearances to
come. Enough damage for a full
recap. (Bandwidth warning: Photo-intensive, over 40
screencaps.)

NCIS: "Jeopardy"
James Dempsey !!
James Dempsey and his brother
Brian are drug runners for a South African cartel. When
dopey li'l brother Brian gets arrested with a whole load
of heroin, James kidnaps the head
of
the Navy
investigative
agency as a hostage to get him and the smack back, not
knowing Brian died in custody. His sneering Afrikaner drug-runner "partner" insults
him and chokes him, and he has one terrible moment of shock
knowing his brother is dead before Mark Harmon takes him
out.

Stargate: Atlantis: "No Man's
Land"
Lt. Michael Kenmore/Wraith
Gets dissed and snubbed by Queenie,
who won't share the latest gossip and who says
he's only alive because she hasn't gotten that far down
on
her to-do list. His hivemates won't let poor Michael
join in any Wraithdeer games. Gets dissed by Sheppard and
Ronon, neither of whom entirely trust him. Ronon nearly
blasts
him. Possibly suffering about betraying the
hive or the SGA team.
|
|
Stargate: Atlantis: "Misbegotten"
Lt. Michael Kenmore/Wraith
Stunned (again). DeWraithified
(again). Memory wiped (again). Lied to and betrayed (again).
The SGA team tries twice to completely destroy the camp
where all the half-Wraiths are, but "oops, we didn't
check for bodies!" so he's due to show up again at
the end of Season 3.
|
|
|
|
Without A Trace: "Fade Away"
Coach Robert Owens
Plays a jerk coach who's more interested in protecting his school basketball team's collegiate athletic chances than bringing a student rapist to justice, or finding the witness who's gone missing.
|
Criminal Minds: "Minimal Loss"
Dan Torre
Gets to be a good guy for once. He's a local LEO helping FBI agents to end a hostage situation at a cult compound. Not much screen time either, though. |
|
|
Stargate: Atlantis: "The Prodigal"
Lt. Michael Kenmore/Wraith !!
Watches his (stolen) puddle-jumper get its ass bitten off by a random gate surge. Gets into fisticuffs twice, once with Ronon and once tag-teamed by Sheppard and Teyla. Sheppard shoots him in the chest somewhere, I think. Teyla says "I have HAD enough of YOU!" and boots him off the top of a very tall building. Probably dead... but once again, "oops! we didn't check for a body!" and this show has cloning, so ya never know. |
 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles: "The Good Wound"
Sheriff Alvan McKinley !!
Sheriff McKinley is investigating a shooting which left "mystery woman" Sarah lurching around with a bullet in her thigh. The doctor who digs the bullet out also happens to be McKinley's ex (or possibly current, hard to tell). Turns out he's abusive and has threatened to kill the doc before, and she didn't report it because he's the sheriff. The doc gets Sarah's gun and ends a Mexican standoff with an Eric Clapton cover.
Connor's played several men in uniform, and a number of jerks, but I think this is the first jerk in uniform. He does continue his great tradition of coming down with a bad case of dead, however. |
 24: "Day 7: 10:00-11:00 p.m."
Carl Gadsen
So Jack Bauer is after some evil stuff in a truck. The truck is in a shipping yard guarded by poor Carl, whom Jack threatens with a literal gun to his head. Jack then ties him up and slaps duct tape over his mouth, even though he's cooperating with this apparent madman.
Turns out that Carl knows about the evil stuff -- or at least, he knows that the bad guys are trying to smuggle stuff. They told him it was electronics, and bribed him to look the other way (which bribe he accepted only because he and Mrs. Carl needed the money for fertility treatments).
To everyone's surprise, Jack doesn't shoot our boy. To no one's surprise, the bad guys do try to shoot our boy. Our boy manages to escape, and since he was cut from the other two eps he filmed, it seems it was a clean getaway. |
Star Runners
Tycho Johns
Ty and his buddy, played by Ando from Heroes, are blackmailed into transporting another Precious Cargo across the galaxy. Much shooting, death, and large killer insects enuse. Tremors in space, basically. Full recap comng. |
|
The Closer: "Waivers of Extradition"
Jeffrey Webb
Plays a complete jackass, with a nice car, who gets smacked around by cops while he's briefly suspected of murder. Cleared by a receipt (no really). This 83-second scene resulted in Connor deciding to fire his manager for being unable to get him parts lasting longer than 83 seconds. |
Lincoln Heights: "Home Again" and "Person of Interest"
Detective Kersey
Another cop, investigating whether a main character's boyfriend let his abusive stepfather die after an earthquake drops a fridge on the guy. Frankly, I wouldn't look a gift quake in the mouth, but I admit I was ffwding the TiVo for Connor's scenes, so I could be off.
