- Didn't decide to pursue a career in acting until he was 24. Conway worked as an IBM sales analyst prior to becoming an actor.
- He studied drama at HB Studio in Greenwich Village in New York City.
- His stage credits, both on and off Broadway, include: *Our Town* (he was the Stage Manager); John Steinbeck's *Of Mice & Men* (he portrayed "George Milton" to James Earl Jones's "Lennie Small").
- He worked with his namesake Kevin Conway in Summit (1999).
- Studied acting at the Dramatic Workshop at Carnegie Hall.
- Played Roger Chillingworth in a television production of The Scarlet Letter (1979), a role later played by Robert Duvall in The Scarlet Letter (1995). He and Duvall later appeared together in Gods and Generals (2003), and appeared in separate films in the Lonesome Dove series: Lonesome Dove (1989) and Streets of Laredo (1995).
- Turned down the role of Theoden in The Lord of the Rings so he could reprise the role of Buster Kilrain in Gods and Generals (2003), and the role went to Bernard Hill instead. Had he accepted, he would have worked with Karl Urban, who played Woodrow Call in Comanche Moon (2008), a prequel to Streets of Laredo (1995), in which Conway also appeared.
