Его отец, Чарльз, а мать, Хелен, была актрисой, выступавшей под сценическим именем Мэри Энн Брукс. Он также жил у своих дедушки и бабушки в Южной Каролине, что позволило ему приобрести южный акцент. Конуэй оставался в спектакле на протяжении всего его показа, а затем гастролировал с национальной труппой пьесы «Critic's Choice», а позже перевелся в Нью-Йоркский университет. Он играл эту роль 2,5 года, пока его друг Джон Траволта, у которого был общий менеджер, не присоединился к спектаклю, сыграв второстепенную роль Доуди. В 1978 году они снова встретились в музыкальном фильме «Бриолин», где Траволта сыграл Зуко, а Конуэй – его друга Кеники. Он также снялся в эпизоде шоу «Мэри Тайлер Мур» для тех же продюсеров и, по его словам, в 1987 году рассматривался на роль Джона Бернса, которую в итоге получил Рэндалл Карвер.

Конуэй покинул сериал «Такси» после третьего сезона. Частично это было связано с его злоупотреблением наркотиками, начавшимся после первого сезона. В то время сообщалось, что Конуэй был недоволен тем, что его закрепили в амплуа «блондина-красавчика» и «объекта шуток о начинающих актерах», а также тем, что роль казалась ему однообразной. Он также чувствовал творческий застой.
