Man, I wish this was a fucking joke – I really, really do. Unfortunately, it’s not. Kung-Fu and Kill Bill actor (and noted Tai Chi practitioner) David Carradine apparently hung himself sometime between Wednesday and Thursday in a Bangkok hotel room. I don’t have time for a proper sendoff at the moment, so I’ll just cop out and post this clip from Kill Bill 2 (my preferred film of the pair, actually – largely owing to Carradine’s performance.)

This is really sad, but in a way ‘hanged himself in a hotel room in Bangkok’ seems oddly appropriate. I think he was a really good actor, he just got typecast in certain roles because of ‘Kung Fu’. I wonder what sort of inner torment he must have had to make him do such a thing?
