Dear Mr. Connors,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of watching police/ crime drama shows.  The main reason I’m a fan of these shows is because I like seeing how law enforcement works on solving different cases, how lawyers handle court cases, how forensic scientist evaluate evidence, and how the main character of the crime drama show use their different traits to solve a cases.  My favorite tv show that you played in was Mannix.  Mannix was a great show because I enjoyed the plot of the show about a private investigator named Joe Mannix who solves different cases.  I enjoyed watching all the seasons and every episode.  Another thing that I enjoyed about the show was on how you did a great job working with Gail Fisher who played as Peggy Fair who is a secretary for Detective Mannix on making them have a good working relationship where they help one another on different cases.  Mr. Connors, I thought you did an excellent job portraying private detective Joe Mannix because I liked on how you made him have great traits like exploring different theories to understand the motive for murder or how the crime was committed, being committed to find the truth including protecting the innocent or find evidence to prove a person’s innocence when they are accused of a crime, how made him have a sense of humor and how you were able to have a mix of balance between action while being a ladies man.  My favorite episodes of the show were Pressure Point, Fear I to Fall, and a Step in Time.  Mannix was also a great show because I liked on how it focus on different topics like what it is like racism against minorities to show the need to treat minorities fairly without discrimination, how people with disabilities can help solve cases when they have some limitations, and exploring the effects of the Vietnam War.

Mr. Connors, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.   Your role as private detective Joe Mannix and the show giving people with disabilities a chance to help your character solve different cases really inspire me to work hard on autism.  Showing people with disabilities having different abilities really helped me feel confident about how I can have some traits like understanding people’s work, interest in history, and be observant on different things. The Mannix show and your acting in the show got me really interested in watching more crime drama shows like Renegade, NYPD Blue, Law And Order franchise, CSI Miami, Chicago P.D., Perry Mason, Matlock, and Diagnosis Murder.  Also you inspired me to be interested in playing a videogame called L.A. Noire where you play a police officer where he becomes a detective solving different cases and reviewing evidence.  

I strongly believe that you and Gail Fisher did an excellent job making Mannix a great tv show to watch and having a great working friendship on different cases.  Mr. Connor, you did an excellent job making Joe Mannix  a great private detective with great traits.  I’m proud to be a fan of your work and the show.  Also I continue to watch re-runs of the show on Heroes and Icons channel because I enjoy your detective style.   Also here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me and $5 as a gift to treat yourself for doing a great job on making Mannix a great one.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making Mannix a great tv show, and inspiring me.  I wish you well for the future.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
