Who was your dad?



I didn't realise it was on until late. It was an epic film of structure and time,with one of the great cinema scores of all time.

Could it be made today?

A careful analysis of Dadwasinflame's posts could lead one to make an educated guess...

Patrick Connor.



I notice he was in the same shows as Britmovie favourites Gary Watson - in an early episode of The Avengers, Death on the Slipway - and George Innes, in the same series' Bizarre.



I have a few of Patrick's appearances and it would be a pleasure to do some captures at a more appropriate thread, probably 'Unmentioned Actors'.

[cornershop15]

Not quite ready to post anything at 'Unmentioned' just yet, so I thought I'd follow the last post with a picture of dadwasinflame's dad, Patrick Connor. Does anyone remember seeing him in Exodus? This ISN'T from that film, of course!



It is in fact from the Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) episode Murder Ain't What It Used To Be

Hello Nick. Thanks for providing that list. It needs quite a lot of updating at IMDB. I might try and add some of those, if I have time, but I've run into so many problems regarding character/episode information, etc. Anyway, I remember Patrick best from an episode of Thriller called I'm The Girl He Wants To Kill. He played a security guard who was supposed to do a night shift but asked Ken Jones (the cheery Liverpudlian actor) to continue as he wanted to make the wife happy on their wedding anniversary! It was quite a funny scene, but Ken's staying on led to him being murdered by serial killer Robert Lang, who was hiding in the building.



At this point, seeing as nearly all the posts have referred to Nick and his dad, Patrick Connor, I wonder if the moderators could turn it into a thread for him? I'm sure Nick has a lot he'd like to add and maybe some of us can track down his appearances on video and DVD. I know that I've got at least six of them, including Thriller and The Persuaders, and of course the previously captured Randall & Hopkirk.

Hi Nick. I am finally in at last. Thanks for the information on your Mum and dad. I had no idea your Mum was in Innocents In Paris. That film has come around on TV once in a blue moon.



I had the wonderful privilige of meeting your Dad and spending some quality time with him. It was unfortunate that I only knew him through poor health. My big consolation from that is if it wasn't for his ill health in later years, I would never have met him and I'm really so wonderfully glad that I did. Not that I would wish him ill at all. I knew him through a professional care role. He was a really nice man. A true gentleman and I admired him greatly.



I have become a collector of his work over the years since meeting him, even if he only has a fleeting role. I'm so proud of my collection of his film and TV appearances, especially from Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), The Persuaders!, Thriller, The New Avengers, On The Buses, Danger Man and also films such as Eye Of The Needle and Lifeforce.



I do miss Patrick very much but I am grateful to have known him but I'm eternally grateful for my collection of his film and TV appearances. That is something that will never go away.



I hope you don't mind me saying this Nick but I now have a good friend in you as well. It's so nice to have built such a good rapport with you and for Patrick to continue being a wonderful, spiritual part of my world.



Thanks Cornershop 15 for your wonderful photos of Patrick and the late actress Hilary Tindall, another brilliant actress from Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) and The Champions. I wish I could paste quotes and download photos, but my computer skills are a bit basic.



Wellendcanons.

That was fabulouso, Marky B, I've always had a soft spot for Exodus, despite its desperately turgid passages. I guess it's the score that keeps the cogs oiled and I have longed for a decent CD version someday.

[Marky B]

I tried to get the main theme,which is one of my favourite films scores of all time. Ernest Gold was married to Marnie Nixon,and they are the parents of singer/songwriter Andrew Gold.

Another one of Patrick (left) in Randall & Hopkirk to keep this eccentric thread going. The other actor

would appear to be Raymond Adamson (process of elimination having looked at the credits):



I did ask if the thread could be retitled in his honour ('Connor's Honour', if you like) but it's gone back

to talking about the film, which is understandable I suppose. Why didn't you name the thread after

your father, Nick?!

[Dadwasinflame]

Here is some photos i have found also the People he worked with , among others James Cagney , Samuel l Jackson& Robert di nero

I remembered dadwasinflame's early contributions to the Forum and couldn't think of anywhere else to post this ...



You really should start a thread in memory of your dad, Nick, as he appeared in so many things. I saw that episode of Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) (Murder Ain't What It Used to Be) a few days ago. He had just one line I think. My main reason for returning here, however, is to bring you my latest capture of Patrick.



I've just noticed your earlier post when you told us you'd got his episode of Special Branch, A Copper Called Craven. I scanned through it last week, for the post I did on Gilly McIver earlier today (for 'Bit Part Actresses ...') and spotted your dad there at the end! I recognised him immediately. Despite his very Irish name it was a surprise to see him speaking in that dialect during an angry confrontation with George Sewell (Craven). Even more oddly, I noticed during the end credits that he was billed as Patrick Cowner. I can only think somebody misheard his name during the casting of his role.

I expected to see this unusual credit as 'Special Branch ........ Corrigan (as Patrick

Cowner)', but no - he actually has a separate listing under that name. Have a look:







Although quite a lot of my submissions have been successful I'd prefer to leave it to IMDb expert Steve

Crook to sort this one out. Can he make it appear as I ilustrated it (above the incorrect listing), please?



I enclose two screencaps of Patrick, the first with George Sewell:



"I have just two words to say to you, Craven - Mary O'Hara" (not the harpist I presume!)



A rare close-up here as he reminds Craven of what's happened to the unfortunate woman:



"She's still in a wheelchair - the wheelchair that you put her in!"
