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 buy a copy of my cd at my website, sent directly to you. Please go to my site with a click of your mouse, here!
I write songs because I can't help it. I get an idea, and I scratch the lyrics on a napkin or the back of a menu. I lay the chords out on a piano, if one's handy, or on my old Gibson. I don't write melodies, I write harmonies. The tune takes care of itself. Most of the songs are about things that happened to me. There's always some philosophical edges, along with a few laughs. But they're all really about love. What else is there?
The tunes were recorded all over the world: London, Germany, Nashville, and Los Angeles with some great musicians, and a few killer engineers.
In the meantime, wander around my page or leave me a comment, if it will give you pleasure.
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).
Thanks for the add!!! David was a great inspiration to me. Kung Fu was one of my favorite shows, and I'm a big Woody Guthrie fan so Bound For Glory was another of my favorites. David will be missed and his work will continue to inspire. Thanks again!
Hey. Thanks for the add. I'm Chrishonda and I do Myspace layouts for $5 and photo touch-ups fpr $2 for musicians. (That is, if you don't do layouts/photo touch-ups yourself or if you don't have someone to do them for you.) If you want a basic custom Myspace layout done or a photo touch-up, just let me know. Please spread the word about my work. Thank you.
David Carridine was a fine actor and his choice of roles made a great impression on my life (and many others). His loss will be felt for a long time to come. Thanks for adding me. My condolences to his family.
