In 1969, Conway played Maxy Parker, bewildered father of the rebellious 16-year-old George Leroy Parker (Michael Margotta), in the syndicated series, ''Death Valley Days,'' then hosted by Robert Taylor not long before Taylor's own death. Young Parker leaves home in search of riotous living, first in [[Salt Lake City]], [[Utah]]. He takes the name [[Butch Cassidy]] from an older rustler acquaintance, Mike Cassidy (Tony Russel). The episode aired the same year as the popular [[Paul Newman]] and Robert Redford film, ''Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0959695/?ref_=tt_ep_nx|title=Drop Out on ''Death Valley Days''|publisher=Internet Movie Database|date=April 25, 1969|accessdate=October 30, 2019}}</ref>
