From All Movie Guide: Born in St. Petersburg, Russia, Tom Conway was the son of a British rope manufacturer. After the Bolshevik revolution, Conway's family returned to England, where he attended a succession of boarding schools before graduating from Brighton college. Aimlessly wandering from job to job, Conway was working as a rancher when his older brother, George Sanders, achieved success as a film actor. Deciding this might be suitable work for himself, Conway gleaned some stage experience in a Manchester repertory company. Upon arriving in Hollywood in 1940, Conway was taken under the wing of brother George, who helped him find film work. When George quit the Falcon "B"-picture series at RKO in 1941, he recommended Tom as his replacement; the transition was cleverly handled in The Falcon's Brother (1942), with Tom taking over after George had been "killed."

Tom Conway (September 15, 1904 – April 22, 1967) was an British actor. He was born to English parents as Thomas Charles Sanders in St. Petersburg, Russia; his brother was the actor George Sanders, whom Conway strongly resembled, especially in his speaking voice. At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution (1917), the family moved back to England, where both brothers were educated at Brighton College. According to the IMDB, Tom lost a coin toss with George to decide which of the two of them would change his last name to avoid any confusion with each other.

Tom Conway makes his second appearance as amateur sleuth Tom Lawrence, aka "The Falcon", in RKO Radio's The Falcon Strikes Back. Framed for the theft of valuable war bonds, Lawrence hides out at a country resort. Here he discovers that Mia Bruger (Rita Corday), who engineered the frame, has been murdered by persons unknown. Snooping around a bit, Lawrence uncovers an insidious and widespred war-bond racket. The revelation of the murderer's identity will come as a jolt to fans of old 2-reel comedies.

Early Sunday morning, convicted criminal Tom Conway was found in the showers hung by his own bed sheet. He was pronounced dead at 8:21 that morning. It has been found that he, indeed, hung himself in an act of suicide. A recent article stated that Tom’s death was due to the fact of juveniles being treated unjustly. Although young criminals have the right to a separate complex, this was not the reason for the suicide in the William’s County Jail. These convicts need separate facilities and there is a bill in congress supporting the building of a Juvenile Delinquent Home.
