Keith Carradine in Kung Fu

I must make a correction. The second episode, "Dark Angel," features John Carradine(David's father)as the blind preacher Serenity Johnson,a role he would repeat in "The Nature of Evil" and "Ambush." Robert Carradine,not Keith,plays Sunny Jim,mute assistant of Serenity Johnson,only in episode 2.Keith appears as the Middle Caine in the original pilot,plus one solitary episode, no.11, "Chains," I believe for the reason that David remained on location,and was unable to do the flashback scenes at the temple.David's older half-brother Bruce did 2 episodes- no.28,"Empty Pages of a Dead Book," and no.51, "One Step to Darkness"(Bruce never made any appearances without David).They were the sons of Ardanelle McCool Cosner,who married John Carradine in 1935,two years after Bruce was born,one year before David was born.Christopher(b.1947),Keith(b.1949),and Robert(b.1954)were born to John's second wife,actress Sonia Sorel,who was strangled by her husband in their one film together,1944's "Bluebeard." It was Ardanelle's alimony that forced John to abandon Hollywood for 7 years,until returning in 1953,and by accepting virtually any role that came along to support his children,John sacrificed his movie career to all the low budget producers who required his services.His television roles continued to be varied,even including two appearances on Johnny Carson's TONIGHT SHOW in 1971.I saw him on Dick Cavett in 1980,vowing that as long as he had a voice and a brain,he would never retire.David's career probably most paralleled his father's,with the highs and the lows,while Keith and Robert both had plenty of hits on their resumes(all three appeared together in the 1980 feature "The Long Riders," plus the 1984 FALL GUY episode "October the 31st," which featured their father).
