born and raised in los angeles, conrad dunn studied at the american academy of dramatic arts-los angeles and with stella adler in new york. after seeing him on the stage, a casting director asked him to read for the role of francis "psycho" soyer in "stripes" (1981), his first feature film. his introductory speech, described by one reviewer as "conrad dunn's adroit tribute to travis bickle", was singled out by film critic roger ebert: "the movie has especially good writing in several scenes. my favorite comes near the beginning, during a session when recruits in the new platoon get to know one another. one obviously psycho draftee, who looks like robert de niro, quietly announces that if his fellow soldiers touch him, touch his stuff, or interfere in any way with his person or his privacy, he will quite simply be forced to kill them." the response from drill sergeant warren oates—"lighten up, francis"—became a popular movie quote.
