Hollywood, Fall 1975
One morning Johnny Crawford called his Rifleman co-star, Chuck Connors.
"I found a guy for you," he said.
Instead of "What's he look like" or "Are you sure he's gay," Chuck immediately asked "Does he like Greek?"
Johnny expected it. He had known for years that Chuck Connors was Greek active, an anal top. Even when he was a kid growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s, Chuck was a sucker for a shapely derriere -- his first time, in fact, was when he was an altar boy, 13 years old but already hung and horny, already a top. (The bottom was his parish priest.)
Men or women, either were fine. With men, Chuck liked them masculine, muscular, dark-haired, cowboy sidekicks. No femmes, no fairies, and especially no "Gay is Good" liberationists. Keep it in the bedroom where it belonged.
Back in the 1960s, he used to cruise Sunset Boulevard looking for hustlers to bring back and "share" with his second wife Kamala, but since gay liberation took off, the hustler population had declined. He was too famous, and besides, he claimed that the nightclubs were full of hippie chicks and gay liberationist boys who thought getting plowed was degrading. So he had some friends scope out the studios, looking for cute young things and ingenues who might like to get plowed by the Rifleman.
Like Johnny Crawford, 29 years old, his teen idol days long gone, trying to make it as a serious actor, but he mostly getting offers to play cowboys. Johnny was bisexual, but he and Chuck had never tricked together. It would be creepy, like a father and son. Besides, Johnny was into the young, slim, androgynous hippie sort, and Chuck Connors had never been androgynous. Or a hippie.
"I'm filming The Great Texas Dynamite Chase (1976), about a couple of hot chicks who rob a bank and go on the lam," Johnny told Chuck. "I play a cowboy they pick up on the road. The three of us stop at a fancy hotel and have a bisexual orgy with this hot bellhop."
"But that's not the best part," Johnny continued. "In the first scene, a naked girl walks across the set to seduce him, and he wasn't at all interested. No interest. Nothing. And in the orgy scene, he wasn't looking at the girls at all -- he was trying to get a peek at me."
"Nice, but that doesn't answer my question," Chuck said. "Does he like Greek? Remember, I'm well hung, and I like to take my time."
