"Connor's chemistry, both on and off-screen, with fellow breakout star Hudson Williams (who portrays Shane Hollander) in the hit Crave series, as well as their respective interviews, has given Connor a promising digital footprint. However, the 25-year-old actor's digital footprint actually dates back to when he was 12 years old, under the name Actorboy222. When Heated Rivalry first blew up, fans had rediscovered his old YouTube videos and the actor's response is an excellent lesson in self-love and confidence."
"As someone who also grew up in a very conservative town, it's incredibly relatable to look back and have compassion for that "young artist, sissy boy" making videos instead of playing football, who might get judged by the other high school kids. Honestly, I was pretty hard on that younger version of me, but Connor's reflection has adjusted my perspective."
Connor plays Ilya Rozonov in a book-to-screen adaptation and shares strong on- and off-screen chemistry with co-star Hudson Williams, boosting his public profile. The actor's digital footprint extends back to age 12 under the username Actorboy222, with old YouTube videos resurfacing after Heated Rivalry became popular. Fans rediscovered those early videos and responded positively to the actor's reflections. The actor praised his younger self and framed those early efforts as formative, calling them part of how he arrived where he is. The story resonates with people from conservative towns who remember being judged for creative pursuits.
