He played Jim O'Connor the 'The Gentleman Caller' and an old high school acquaintance of Tom and Laura. Jim was a popular athlete and actor during his days in High School. Laura discovers that Jim is the boy she was attracted during high school and has often thought of since, though the relationship between the shy Laura and the "most likely to succeed" Jim was never more than a distant, teasing acquaintanceship. The Glass Menagerie is a beautiful play symbolizing how fragile people really are.
