Absolutely heartbreaking. I’ve only just gotten back to my computer and learned the news, so I’m still processing this, but I feel completely sick. Carradine was one of the quintessential cult actors of our times, and though he appeared in more absolutely reprehensible projects than most actors would dare to imagine, there’s hardly a single instance in his incredible overstuffed CV of a performance that wasn’t some kind of magical, often the only thing about the movie that was any good in any degree. But when he got an occasional chance to appear in something half-way worthwhile well… let’s just say that if he’d done nothing but the TV show Kung Fu, this day could not be any sadder.
