A very happy 90th birthday to Gary Conway — actor, writer, artist, and so much more. He’s the very definition of a Renaissance man.
On top of his many talents and accomplishments, for my generation Mr Conway will always have a special place in our hearts as Captain Steve Burton, leader of the diminutive Earth people trapped in the Land of the Giants.
All the very best, sir.
Happy Birthday to Gary Conway, a.k.a. Captain Steve Burton from Land of the Giants, a TV series that is very special to me.
Long ago, when my age was numbered in single figures, I was terrorised by a 'giant' of my own - a drunken and violently abusive father. Watching Captain Burton and the other diminutive Earthlings win through each week gave me something precious... hope. If they could survive their ordeal then so could I - and I did. I remain forever grateful.
Showing my age now, but this is how big telephones used to be when I was young.
