Keith Carradine (born August 8, 1949, in San Mateo, California) is an American Academy Award-winning actor and songwriter, born into a family of actors. His father is John Carradine, his paternal half-brothers are David Carradine and Bruce Carradine, his maternal half-brother is Michael Bowen, his full brothers are Christopher Carradine and Robert Carradine. David, Robert and Keith appeared together as the Younger brothers in Walter Hill's 1980 film "The Long Riders", with Keith playing Jim Younger. Carradine appeared again for Hill in 1981's Southern Comfort.
His daughter by actress Shelley Plimpton is Martha Plimpton, who was conceived when her parents appeared together in the Broadway musical "Hair".
Carradine's first notable film appearance was in director Robert Altman's "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" in 1971. He also portrayed the character Kwai Chang Caine as a teenager in the 1972 television series "Kung Fu" (the adult Caine was portrayed by his half brother, David).
He went on to play one of the principal characters, a callow, womanizing folk singer, in Altman's critically acclaimed 1975 movie "Nashville"' and his song from that movie, "I'm Easy", was a popular music hit in 1976. Carradine won an Oscar for Best Original Song for writing the tune.
In 1977 Carradine starred opposite Harvey Keitel in Ridley Scott's "The Duellists".
He has worked several times in the offbeat films of Altman's protégé Alan Rudolph, playing a disarmingly candid madman in "Choose Me" (1984), an incompetent petty criminal in "Trouble in Mind" (1985) and an American artist in 1930s Paris in "The Moderns" (1988). He also had a cameo role as Will Rogers in Rudolph's 1994 film about Dorothy Parker, "Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle". Carradine co-starred with Daryl Hannah as homicidal sociopath John Netherwood in the 1995 thriller "The Tie That Binds".
Other works include "Emperor of the North Pole" (1973), "Pretty Baby" (1978), "Chiefs", a television miniseries in 1983, and "My Father My Son", a television movie in 1988,
In 1984 he appeared in the video for Madonna's single Material Girl.
In the early 1990s he played the lead role in the Tony Award winning musical, the "Will Rogers Follies". He was nominated for Broadway's 1991 Tony Award as Best Actor (Musical) for this role.
More recently Carradine starred in the ABC sitcom "Complete Savages", and played Wild Bill Hickok in the HBO series "Deadwood". He has also appeared as a host of the factual "Wild West Tech" show on the History Channel.
In the 2005 miniseries "Into the West", produced by Steven Spielberg and Dreamworks, Carradine played Richard Henry Pratt. He guest starred on Dexter (TV series) as FBI Special Agent Frank Lundy during the 2007-2008 season.
He has two children by his ex-wife Sandra Will Carradine (married 6 February 1982, separated 1993): Cade Richmond Carradine, born on July 19, 1982, and Sorel Johannah Carradine, born on June 18, 1985. In 2006 Sandra Will Carradine was convicted on two counts of perjury for lying to a Grand Jury about her involvement in the Anthony Pellicano wire tap scandal. Sandra Will Carradine hired and then became romantically involved with Anthony Pellicano, after her divorce from Keith Carradine. According to reports, Anthony Pellicano tapped the phone of Keith Carradine and companion Hayley DuMond at the request of girlfriend Sandra Will Carradine, who is now facing ten years' prison.
On November 18, 2006, in Torino, Italy, he married actress and long-time girlfriend Hayley DuMond. They met in 1997 when they co-starred in the Burt Reynolds film "The Hunter's Moon".
