Carroll O’Connor was an American actor, producer, and director whose television career spanned four decades. He is best known for his role as Archie Bunker on the CBS television series All in the Family, for which he won four Emmy Awards. O’Connor was born on August 2, 1924, in Manhattan, New York City, to Edward Joseph O’Connor, a lawyer, and his wife, Elise Patricia O’Connor (née Kelleher). His parents were of Irish descent. He had two brothers, Kevin and Hugh.

O’Connor attended Regis High School in New York City. He served in the United States Navy during World War II. After the war, he attended the University of Montana, where he studied journalism. He began his acting career in the 1950s with guest roles on various television series.

The following year, he played police officer Bill Gillespie in the NBC drama series In the Heat of the Night. O’Connor’s breakthrough role came in 1971 with his portrayal of Archie Bunker in All in the Family. The show was a huge success, and O’Connor won four Emmy Awards for his performance.

Quotes

#Quote
1[on auditioning for Archie Bunker] I was approached in 1968 and [a producer had] secured the rights to a show that was a big success in England and it was called 'Till Death Us Do Part,' I thought we'd never do a show that outrageous in this country. And I wanted to do something outrageous. I didn't think we'd last a month.
2[At one point, All in the Family (1971), was getting cancelled]: I thought that the public would kick us off the air, because of this egregious guy. No. They loved ... they knew him.
3[Who moved on with his life after his son's death]: The biggest part of my life was the acquiring and the loss of a son. I mean, nothing else was as important as that.
4[on his popularity while playing the fifty-something Archie Bunker on All in the Family]: Archie is what he is. He is over 50 and you can't expect any turnover in his character. He might modify his racist language in the house because he grows tired of his wife and kids jumping all over him. I am not playing Archie with any axe to grind. As I have said before, Archie is made up of persons who really exist. I have seen them.
5[In 1974]: Television audiences are seeing more of the good and admirable qualities of blacks than they have ever seen before. Some of these shows are causing the fears that underlie prejudice to be a bit dissipated.
6[Who told his congressman, who got elected, despite the fact that he was Polish]: The Polacks voted for him to get even with the Irish for tellin' all those Polish jokes; the Italians voted for him to prove it was the Irish; and the colored people voted for him 'cause they like Polish jokes and they thought he was the best one yet.
7[Who cursed one critic vehemently, called critics in general, jerks]: I concluded too many of you don't know what you're doing.
8[When approached to do The Last Hurrah]: I say okay, but I wanted to see the Tracy movie. So I did. I didn't think I could repeat what I saw on the screen, so I said, 'Let me see the old screenplay ... maybe what was on the screen wasn't the screenplay.'
9[In 1972]: It happens everytime I wear this here suit. I get a helluva hand.
10[In 1976]: I'm going to keep the bigotry Edwin O'Connor had in the novel, but I'm going to play it as an undertone rather than as the main theme.
11[When asked to explain the remarks, he replied]: I think you all have been in a position where you all have said something out of pure emotion that is not all true. There are semi-literates. They write bad grammar. A lot of them copy what other people write and add a little twist of their own so that it appears the local boy has the inside track.
12Nothing will give me any peace. I've lost a son. And I'll go to my grave without any peace over that.
13Get between your kids and drugs any way you can if you want to save the kid's life.
14People see Archie Bunker everywhere. Particularly girls-poor girls, rich girls, all kinds of girls are always coming up to me and telling me that Archie is just like their dad.
15Get between your kid and drugs any way you can.

67Mickey Rooney was Norman Lear's first choice to play Archie in the pilot of All in the Family (1971). Rooney had reservations about the character, so he refused.

The Center was renamed "Carroll and Nancy Fields O'Connor Center for the Rocky Mountain West" in September of 1997.
82While attending University of Montana, O'Connor was an associate editor for the college newspaper, the Kaimin.
