[br /]
Actor David Carradine shot to stardom in the early 1970s as the star of the television series Kung Fu (1972-74). Years later, after a career of steady work on stage and in low-budget movies, the cult status of Kung Fu led to a resurgence in his popularity, culminating with Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movies (2003-04), in which Carradine plays the title character. He is the son of Hollywood veteran John Carradine and half-brother to actors Robert and Keith Carradine (with whom he appeared in the 1980 movie The Long Riders). His films include Boxcar Bertha (1972, directed by Martin Scorsese), Death Race 2000 (1975, produced by Roger Corman), 1976's Bound for Glory, for which he received high praise for his portrayal of Woody Guthrie, The Serpent's Egg (1977, directed by Ingmar Bergman) and Lone Wolf McQuade (1983).
