    You'll Be Missed, Grasshopper

    We lost David Carradine.

    He brought something quite unique in whatever role he played. The Wild West Tech series on the History Channel were pretty cool.

    I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. I've enjoyed his roles ever since he played Grasshopper in Kung Fu.

    I don't think David did himself in as the investigation in Thailand is saying, somethings not right....It's a gut reaction....I smell foul play!.....I am sad over this news....Doc

    My wife read a report that suggested he might have been engaged in activities that can't be discussed on a family forum. Still, a very, very sad day.

    I heard of something like that as well, but It still doesn't make sense, that a 72 year old actor with this movie shoot just starting and two more movies signed for in leading roles for this year alone, to take his own life....I could be wrong, cause people who do themselves in, are not in their right minds....but this smells too fishy to me....Doc

    Farewell David. Thank you for flavouring my childhood. We'll miss you

    He was a big role model for me when I was a little kid.

    Heck, I even dressed like him as Kwai Chang Kaine

    It is a big loss....
