WIKI He was controversial and some considered him an opportunist of sorts, he was a bit of a manipulator and “politician” of sorts, but he did get stuff done. One of his noted accomplishments was getting a downed fighter pilot returned home after he had been shot down.

short-time Posted February 25 Report Posted February 25 I guess that leaves only Keith Carradine alive of the brothers. I recall sometime back when David Carradine was found dead in a Bangkok hotel room under ‘mysterious circumstances’.. They were all good together in “The Long Riders” movie, which was I think a long-term family project. It had a couple of very good scenes, including the failed Minnesota bank robbery and the intense fight scene when brother David faces-off with one tough Indian. 1
