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.
"But, as luck would have it, he stood up. He caught that chunk of lead." Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Hathcock "If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Clarence Worley
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.

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