Connie Shokner

Connie Shokner
You probably did not know the name of Robert Tessier in the 1970’s, but the stuntman, turned occasional actor made a living playing the tough guy in countless films, occasionally alongside his real life friend, Burt Reynolds. In the Reynolds’ 1974 Football film, “The Longest Yard”, Tessier was Connie Shokner, who was martial arts expert and serial killer; and one of the first convicts recruited by Burt Reynolds for the Prison Football team against the guards. He was never really the focal point of the film, but he may have been the scariest. That alone may make him worth a look for our little Hall of Fame.
