Connor Barwin

Nov. 06, 2019

Linebacker, Houston Texans With his trademark hipster haircut and progressive sense of style, Connor Barwin turns heads on and off the field. The 6-foot-4 Texans linebacker who hails from the Midwest has taken to his adoptive city with aplomb. Far from an unapproachable pro-athlete, you're more likely to find him at a dive bar schmoozing with the locals than a society function.

I was born in Houston and both of my parents were born in Houston. I grew up here. I didn't leave until I was 27 so I've lived there all my life. I went to undergraduate college at the University of Houston, and that's really where I started acting. To this day, I've probably done the majority of my acting in Houston.

Billy F. Gibbons There are so many things to do in Houston. There are great art museums, especially the Contemporary Arts Museum and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The Art Car Parade is part of that exotic extreme of Houston. You have to see it—it’s really cool. Houston’s music scene is an interesting fabric—it goes way, way back. It’s a fascinating musical place. Ray Charles once said, “If you want to put a great band together, go to Houston, Texas.” Plenty of our songs were inspired by…
