David Carradine is dead.

He was found sometime Thursday in his hotel room in Thailand, after hanging himself. He'll probably be most remembered for his role as Caine in Kung Fu, but it's his role as Frankenstein in Death Race 2000 that I'll always remember him for. Very sad news.

I heard he'd died, but not the suicide part. Sad. He didn't have a great rep--heavy drinker, difficult, unhappy. Too bad KILL BILL didn't do much for him. I'll remember his as Keith Carradine's angry brother...

Oh--I liked him in Q.

Of course I remember him very much as Caine, since my dad was so obsessed with the show.

So very, very sad to go that way.

I still have a Kung Fu lunchbox from when I was in kindergarten. My kids use it to keep toys in.
