David Carradine, 1936-2009
David Carradine has been found dead in Bangkok. Initial reports indicated suicide, but the latest evidence suggests the death may have been accidental.
I’ll refrain from speculating on what has happened, but I will say I am very surprised and saddened to see that he is gone. Of course, he was best known for Kung Fu, but as is his wont, Quentin Tarantino gave him a late career resuscitation, casting him in the title role of Kill Bill. He created such a foreboding presence that even his voice alone could be chilling.
It’s a shame we won’t get to see - or hear - more of him.
