I’ll always remember his role a a drunk in Scorsese’s “Mean Streets.” He did this as a favor to the young director, as said movie lacked stars (although it did launch the careers of DeNiro and Keitel).

I liked him as the blind wanderer in Circle of Iron.

Playing a drunk probaly wasn’t hard for him. His old man used to hang out at Channel Islands Marina before he died and most people who knew him said they never saw him sober.

Carradine had had the lead in Scorses’s previous movie, “Boxcar Bertha” which salso starred Carradine’s then-wife Barbara Hershey.

I think he was in the movie, Chiefs. It was either him or his brother Keith.

Damn good movie in any case.
