Chuck Connors and Johnny Crawford
While the two actors had a tight working relationship, they did not have a father-son dynamic in real life. During an interview, AMC asked Crawford if he considered Connors to be a father figure. He answered, “Not really. I had great respect for him and I loved working with him but he was very different off screen. He was incorrigible; a practical joker. It was fun all the time but he wasn’t a good influence on me aside from his acting. He used a lot of four letter words and he was very imposing. He loved intimidating people. I got a kick out of him.”

Even though the success must have been crazy for the teenage The Rifleman star, he still made it to the Top 40 list on five different occasions with his hit songs “Rumors”, “Proud”, “Cindy’s Birthday”, and “Your Nose Is Gonna Grow”. Johnny was clearly a talented young man.
