I met the actor doing Conner at the supermarket today and we chat a bit. Well this is embarassing but I feel I have to tell you people about it, please keep it confidential. He revealed he had a few erection problems lately. Stoper wants him to be present at all lewd scenes where Jessica is involved, and he forces him to watch and masturbate. The problem is that after the sex scene with Parker, this Conner-guy has been shocked and cannot get hard. He confessed me he had a little crush for Jessica, that's unprofessional but he developed that after shooting scenes multiple times (Stoper is a perfectionist and each sex scene was done 10th times before the final cut). Stoper cannot shoot anything if this guy is not on set, and he has to be hard.
He also feels unworthy of playing a godlike, omnipotent character like Conner, and this crisis is ruining his acting career.
While we all praise and admire the fictional character Conner, we often forget that behind him is an actor, with all his human frailties and needs.
