GOSSIP:
|
- The spokesman in the commercial for the YELLOW BOOK. (2006)
- His newest book, The Kill Bill Diary: The Making of a Tarantino Classic as Seen Through the Eyes of a Screen Legend, is released on November 1, 2006.
- Lived with Barbara Hershey. (She added Seagull to her name during this time.) They have a son whom they named Free Carradine at birth, but who has since changed his name to Tom Carradine.
- Convicted of drunk driving in October 1989. Served 48 hours in jail and did community service.
- Has a lifelong fascination with Eastern philosophies and culture which resulted in him writing the book Spirit Of The Shaolin about the philosophy of Kung Fu.
- Began studying the Martial Arts after getting cast in Kung Fu (1972).
- Was suppose to attend the Armaggeddon Pulp Culture Expo Convention in Wellington, New Zealand as a special Kill Bill guest but had to pull out at the last minute due to filming commitments. (September 2004)
- To date, he is the only actor who has appeared in films directed by Martin Scorsese, Ingmar Bergman and Quentin Tarantino.
- Because of his look, his stint on the TV series Kung Fu and his fascination with eastern philosophies, people often assume that he is at least part Asian. He is not.
- A great deal of his characters posses lethal martial arts skills. This is a nod to his most famous character, the deadly yet benevolent Kwai Chang Caine.
- Is of Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, German, Spanish, Ukrainian, Cherokee and Italian descent.
- Appears in an episode of Disney's Lizzie McGuire. In this episode, an upcoming Jet Li film is auditioning boys the age of Lizzie's brother Matt for the role of the sidekick.
- Plays an old friend of Lizzie's father, Sam McGuire, who teaches Matt a few Kung fu moves for his audition tape. When asked how he knows Carradine's character, Mr. McGuire replies cryptically, He's like a brother to me. This is an in-joke as the actor who portrays Sam, Robert Carradine, is David Carradine's actual (half-) brother. Additionally, a large portion of the episode is spent in parody of Kung Fu (Carradine's most famous project next to KILL BILL).
- Provided his voice for episodes of King of the Hill where he voiced the character of Hank's Japanese half brother who lives in Japan.
- Provided the voice for Lo Pei, the ancient warrior who was responsible for Shendu's petrification in the animated series: Jackie Chan Adventures.
