According to one person online, he was a staunch Anti-Communist who refused to work with a Jew writer in the 1960’s and went into a rage on set when he found out about his Commie bullshit:

“Perhaps the main reason for Chuck Connors’ stubborn behavior on the short-lived “Branded” series was because Larry Cohen conceived the show as a Western allegory for the blacklisting of Hollywood actors, writers and filmmakers who had Communist affiliations back in the 1950s.

The title sequence of each episode, with Connors being stripped of his rank and drummed out of the fort, was a pointed metaphor for blacklisting.

Cohen didn’t reveal the allegorical nature of Branded to Connors until after the actor was committed and the show was in production.

Connors was furious when he found out that his character, Jason McCord, the star of the show, was supposed to represent Hollywood actors, writers and filmmakers who were blacklisted (unfairly or not) for Communist affiliation.

Connors was so pissed off that he even charged his horse at Larry Cohen on the Branded set. So, let’s say Connors was disillusioned regarding his role.”

What I know of Branded is from references in ‘the big Lebowski’ written and directed by the Coen brothers. It always seemed odd to me that they had multiple scenes where they referenced it. One scene was in the house of the writer of Branded, the guy in an Iron Lung. They named this Larry Cohen character Arthur Digby.

Weird how bagels like to tie in references like this. Larry’s sister Ronni Chasen, was shot to death in a possible hit job. Thanks for the history lesson, I’m going to watch a few episodes of Branded now.

Wow. I didn’t catch this. Thanks. Yeah, paying tribute to each other, I guess. Once you’re completely redpilled on Jews, there is no way you cannot despise them.

The weirdest (((Coen))) movie references are ones like in Hail, Caesar where they openly show that the kike commie Hollyweird writers were intentionally working with the Soviets and making the very propaganda those same writers alleged was all a witch hunt. Also, they rather blankly painted Gene Kelly as a fag and a commie, and based on his involvement with Inherit the Wind, I’m not convinced he wasn’t.

Wow. I have to DL that flick. IT is funny how they cry out when they strike you. Always denying their deviousness and at the same time putting it right in your face.
