Age 71. First time I saw him IIRC was in The Cowboys.

He was a good nerd.

The Cowboys is my favorite John Wayne movie, and I’ll always remember him for that. Just 71

The Big Red One was great...I have it on DVD with interviews. Lee Marvin took him and the other guys in the squad out in the desert to shoot real rifles (before filming IIRC). Treated them as if he and they were in character; loaded up into the car, and asked which one of you guys is Carradine?

Sorry to hear this. First movie I thought of was The Long Riders.

I was texting with someone who knew him well. Carradine took his own life, and there wasn’t prior signs that he might do that, although the link Rat provided said that he was bipolar and that he struggled mightily with it.

Thanks for confirming what I read on a later article but wasn't sure if that was true, TMats.
Very talented family history, and he contributed quite a bit to the saga.

by KR Jamison · 2000 · Cited by 469 — The mood disorders (depression and bipolar manic-depression) are by far the most common psychiatric conditions associated with suicide.

He was Sunfish in the remake of Monte Walsh

I guess I never put two and two together that he was the same guy in The Long Riders, Big Red One and Revenge of the Nerds.

I enjoyed him in the movies listed. Also, as a girl dad, I saw more than a couple episodes of "Lizzie McGuire" with him as Lizzie's dad.

Well I never realized until now that Keith and David were his brothers!
