RIP - David Carradine

Actor David Carradine passed away sometime last night or this morning at the age of 72, the cause yet to be confirmed by his family or agent. I wasn't well aware of his work, aside from a few television guest appearances and the Kill Bill films, but I did enjoy his public persona, and I have to acknowledge he gave a great performance in Kill Bill: Volume 2. What is it about Quentin Tarantino that makes him pull a great performance out of any actor/actress? It's a pity Carradine didn't receive a deserved Oscar nomination for his work in the film. It would have been a nice capper to his long career.
