Actor David Carradine was an American film actor who died recently while filming a movie in Bangkok. He was born in December 1936 and is best known for his work on the 1970s television series Kung Fu. He was found dead in his hotel room while he was in Bangkok filming the movie Stretch. While his death is somewhat of a mystery, there are various theories surrounding it. What is certain is that he will be missed greatly by his family, peers and fans. The cast and crew who were staying in the 5 star hotels Thailand noticed he didn’t show up for dinner and assumed he was tired and needed rest.

In the 1070s Carradine rose to fame for his work in the series Kung Fu. The series followed the life of a Shaolin Monk, Kwai Chang Caine and his adventures in the American Old West. His character was a master of martial arts and would encounter many struggles and prejudice as he went about his life. The episodes would frequently show moments that went back in time to his life as a student. The lessons he was learning would manifest into the circumstances he was facing in the present. Due to his status as a priest, he would often feel the need to become involved in various social injustice issues. Throughout the series he was on a search for his missing half brother, Danny Caine.

Carradine also had a successful film career, winning awards and critical acclaim for his role Woody Guthrie in the film Bound For Glory. He was also in the Ingmar Bergman film The Serpent’s Egg. He appeared in various television miniseries and worked regularly throughout his life. Most recently he gained renewed public interest for his work Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill film series. In total he worked in more than 100 feature length films.

Lindsay Lohan the actress has been flying under the radar recently. She has been mostly just traveling from Coast to Coast on the US map following her former girlfriend Samantha Ronson on her dj gigs.

She has not starred in a film since 2007’s “I Know Who Killed Me.” She filmed a movie in 2008 called “Labor Pains” but it went straight to USA Map cable.

Lohan has become marginalized as an actress on the world map; instead she is now just a target of tabloid fodder and “I can’t believe what she did this week” stories.

It has come out on People.com that Lohan has landed herself a role in an independent fantasy comedy called “The Other Side”. Her co-stars are set to be: Giovanni Ribisi, Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews and Woody Harrelson.

Variety Magazine reported that the plot will be this:

The film focuses on “a grad student [Lohan] who must spend the summer working at a scientific institute on a remote island,” Variety” reports. “She discovers an eccentric community of characters who are hiding a secret about a tragedy that took place many years before.”

Hopefully Lohan’s comeback will be a successful one. She has had scandal in the past of being difficult to work with. On the set of her movie “Georgia Rule” she showed up to work late a lot and a movie studio exec even wrote her a letter commenting on her professionalism.

Since she has not been in a real movie role in quite sometime its time for Lohan to again establish herself as an actress again. She has really not had a successful movie role since 2004’s “Mean Girls.”

Perhaps Lindsay has learned that fans have grown tired of her antics and it is time to move back to the thing that made her famous, movies.
