This evening I received the shocking news that David was found dead in his hotel suite in Bangkok.
I am totally shocked at this unbelievable news.
David was a high spirited man of wisdom, an artist, a husband, father, friend and loved to live life to the fullest... he always spoke of his wife Annie and most of all his children.
I had the great honor to work with him and spent many... conversing about the our craft and life... very enriching and a barrel of laughs. He will be missed.

We had a small get together at Bonnie Coffee (Hengdian, China). I wasn't sure what to expect of him aside from watching him on tv as I was growing up. This was the start of a fun working relationship. Daivid is a living legend in my mind. Not only is he is an actor, he is a musician, painter, writer, director, husband and a father. This a man who loves to tell stories and talk about his life in Hollywood, ups and downs. We often spoke of the rough periods in his personal life and careeror shall I say I listened most of the time. Its dawning on me I am coming back to full circle as being that young actor that I was some time ago...
The two quotes I remember from Carradine are: "If you can't be a poet... then be a poem and the other was about auditioning because he said he hated the audition process. "You might as well have fun in the audition as that might be the last time you perform that role"
I can go on and on about Mr. Kill Bill but I know if I did this would turn into a novel, after all this was 2 months of working together. Although, I can say working with an actor like him you can learn a few tricks of the trade which is well worth it.
