Somebody killed Bill. Actor David Carradine (Kill Bill) was found dead in his hotel room in Thailand were he was shooting a movie (Globe & Mail). There seems to be conflicting reports on what exactly happened - apparently it wasn't a suicide it was an accident - maybe, maybe a kinky accident. But the fact remains that he will be missed.
One of Carradine's first big roles was playing a TV version of my namesake Shane.
But of course David Carradine will always be remembered for Kung Fu. Playing a role that was originally written for Bruce Lee. But I can't find a really good Kung Fu clip. But after Lee died Carradine starred in Lee's unfinished movie The Silent Flute aka The Circle of Iron which was just released on Blu-ray. And I found a trailer for it.
