[edit] Army
David Carradine served 2 years in the US Army.—This unsigned comment was added by 198.81.26.47 (talk • contribs) .
A web page about the United States Marine Corps, the USMC Hangout, claims that David Carradine served in the United States Army and was never a Marine. Here is the external link: [Marine Page] —This unsigned comment was added by Scott Haley (talk • contribs) .
[edit] Family tree
"He is the son of actor John Carradine, the half-brother of Keith Carradine, and of Robert Carradine." Looks like he has two fathers. Perhaps someone can clean up the grammar who knows the family tree?--Rbeas 22:27, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, and this is mostly just worked out from the IMDb so far, David and Bruce are brothers, and Keith and Robert are brothers, and all four are the sons of John (therefore presumably by two different mothers). Michael Bowen is also their half-brother [1], although since his father is apparently the artist Michael Bowen and not John, I presume he is actually only half-brother to two of them, and unrelated (or step-brother) to the other two. This is one of those family trees that you can spend hours following around the IMDb — try it with the Jacksons, it's fascinating. — sjorford++ 18:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ancestor in a Blender
"...Born of Irish, English, Scottish, Welsh, German, Spanish, Ukrainian, Cherokee and Italian descent..." What is he, some kind of mutant? But seriously, isn't that taking genealogy a bit too far? It looks absolutely ridiculous. 130.225.54.2 16:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] genealogy?
Some people do actually believe that a multiracial Earth, multiethnic Earth, is a very important process & goal.

- In which case it should be immaterial from what races one decended. But descent is an American thing! With that many parts in him, one could just say he's nth generation American - or not ? TinyMark 23:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What about Yellowpages commercials?
Hopiakuta 18:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
With a questioning voice and, to me, comical facial gestures and body movements, the words "A good plumber?" highlight the YellowPages TV ad.68.13.191.153 13:11, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
- Not to split hairs, but those ads were actually for YellowBook, a specific yellow page company.
Wording on this: "In 2006, he became the spokesman in the commercial for the Yellow Book" seems awkward eh?
[edit] Sex With A Minor Scandal?
Wasn't he charged with a sex with a minor scandal around 1976? I can't find it in google, but I remember this. ~~Ruth E.
[edit] Controversy section
It may have been very difficult to believe that a full blooded Chinese man would be able to walk from town to town in the American West in the 1800s.
Weren't there thousands of Chinese railroad workers in the American West in the 1800s? They're a pretty common sight in most Westerns. --NEMT 05:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
The Bruce Lee/casting story in the Kung Fu article contradicts the one here, which seems to be written based on the Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.35.157.98 (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] removed dumb mistake
he wasn't in Deadwood. That was Keith —Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.173.6.74 (talk) 21:01, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
