About Me |
|
| Welcome to my Official MySpace page. I have nothing to do with any other David Carradine MySpace pages but this one. I have help running this page. I’ve uploaded some of my music from my CD, "As Is". You can find my music for download on the ITunes store My Life in a Nutshell Not only am I an actor and Kung-Fu master, but I am an artist, musician, sculptor, writer, and composer, among other things. I have written many books and I even have a few instructional workout videos available. I’ve even done the voice of William Sharp for the Xbox game, Saints Row (2006). I was born in Hollywood and educated at San Francisco State College where I studied music theory and composition. It was while writing music for the Drama Department’s annual revues that I discovered my own passion for the stage, joining a Shakespearian repertory company and learning my craft on my feet. After a two-year stint in the Army, I found work in New York as a commercial artist and later found fame on Broadway in The Deputy and The Royal Hunt of The Sun, playing an Aztec prince. With that experience I returned to Hollywood, landing in the short-lived TV series Shane before being in Martin Scorsese’s first Hollywood film, Boxcar Bertha (1972). The iconic TV series Kung Fu followed. Originally developed by and for Bruce Lee, it catapulted me to superstardom for the next three years, until I left the series to pursue my film career. I have received the Best Actor Award from the National Board of Film Review as well as a Golden Globe nomination for my portrayal of Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby’s Bound for Glory, (1976) and won critical acclaim for my work as Cole Younger in Walter Hill’s The Long Riders, (1980) which many believe was some of my best work. Kung Fu also received seven Emmy nominations in its first season including one for myself as Best Actor. In addition I won the People’s Prize at the Cannes Film Festival’s "Director’s Fortnight" for my work on Americana, and a second Golden Globe nomination for my supporting role in North and South. Among my other most notable film credits are You and Me (1972), Martin Scorsese’s Mean Streets (1973), Robert Altman’s The Long Goodbye (1973), Paul Bartel’s Death Race 2000 (1975), Ingmar Bergman’s The Serpent’s Egg (1977), Gray Lady Down (1978), Bird on a Wire (1990), and of course the infamous Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003) and Kill Bill Volume 2 (2004). |
