[2] Connors took up acting when he was 20 years old after being persuaded by his younger brother Joseph, in a bid to help him with his own battle with depression.

Connors's directorial feature documentary debut, Endless Sunshine on a Cloudy Day, won the audience award at the 2020 Dublin International Film Festival.

Connors has been publicly critical of Pavee Point directors, Martin Collins and Ronnie Fay, questioning the organisation's commitment to Travellers' rights.

[citation needed] In response to protests held in Dublin in June 2020 after the death of African American man George Floyd in Minneapolis, Connors questioned whether the same 'anti-racist solidarity' would be shown for Irish Travellers.

[6] In July 2020, Connors called for the resignation of the newly appointed Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, Roderic O'Gorman, after a photo taken at 2018 Dublin Pride of O'Gorman alongside British gay rights activist Peter Tatchell emerged, controversial for his advocacy of lowering the age of consent.

[9] He called for O'Gorman to resign during a speech at a protest held outside Leinster House on 11 July.

On 19 July, Connors published a full apology to Roderic O'Gorman, stating that he had been "politically naive" and contributed to "hurtful and false assertions" about the TD: "What is difficult for me to accept is that my own misguided anger led me to appear to feed an army of trolls and support groups whose views I find repugnant, whose politics are rotten and whose methods are ugly.
