For those who haven't heard, actor David Carradine of Kung Fu and Kill Bill fame was found dead in Thailand this morning after what looks to be an apparent suicide. He was 72.
Carradine's work saw him star alongside a handful of steam locomotives over the years, including the Sierra No. 3 and more recently appearing with ex-D&RGW 340 at Knotts Berry Farm for his History Channel series Wild West Tech. Just this past fall, Carradine visited Santa Margarita, CA, and "held up" passengers on the Pacific Coast Railroad during the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
