David Carradine R.I.P


12/8/'36 - 6/3/'09

I don't believe he committed suicide and neither does his family or friends. Considering he died alone in one of the world's most dangerous cities, I suspect foul play.
I never was a fan of his original Kung Fu TV series but became one later on when he re-invented the character as his great grandson. The series was an entertaining mishmash of Martial Arts, Eastern philosophy, and wry humor, and needs reviving. Maybe both series.....
Carradine took on all kinds of work and squandered his talents on too many low budget and straight-to-video action films but always redeemed himself with occasional work in better projects like Kill Bill.
He will be missed.....
