How sad. I love the Carradine family. From their father to brothers a very talented and gifted clan.
Kung Fu was a teenagers staple after school.
The Woody Gunthrie story. ( a favorite)
Kill Bill.

More than 100 films over a more than 40-year career,
Member of the dynastic Carradine acting clan, which also includes family patriarch John Carradine and half-siblings Keith and Robert, David Carradine studied music and served in the Army before taking up stage acting. He landed his first bit-part film role in an adaptation of Louis L’Amour’s western novel “Taggart.”
Carradine’s rugged, hard-to-place features and his terse, sometimes laconic manner gave him the ability to be cast in roles as varied as Caine, folk troubadour Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby’s “Bound for Glory” (1976), and as a renegade driver in Paul Bartel’s 1975 apocalyptic thriller “Death Race 2000,” which prefigured George Miller’s “Mad Max” films.
He is sadly missed. I remember you posted a video here a while back with David playing piano?
Even on film, he could stare right through you. This Earth was lucky to have had him as long as it did. Warmest regards to you, CRC, and your dear friend.
I always wanted to see this movie because of you CRC, when you had him on your blog. I wanted to see what other movies he made. Because of the internet, I found many but one that held my interest was the “The Serpent’s Egg. Now I will search for it just so I can honor him and his acting ability. There are many movies that I have missed and this is one of them. David Carradine lived a full life.
Ormens ägg/Das Schlangenei/The Serpent’s Egg is a 1977 English and German film directed and written by Ingmar Bergman and starring David Carradine as Abel Rosenberg, which is set in 1920s Berlin.

He was the last person I gave the “Keeping the Torchlit Award” to. I’m glad I did.

Very befitting. You should be proud.

Heartfelt sympathy to all his family and friends.
He will be missed.
