*triplexxx* · 02-24-2026, 04:31 AM

Actor Robert Carradine from the Carradine family, has passed at 71. Apparently, it was a suicide after dealing with bipolar depression for 20 years. He was known for roles in things like Revenge Of The Nerds, Bonanza. Kung Fu, The Twilight Zone, Number One With A Bullet, Rude Awakening, Escape From LA, NYPD Blue, Nash Bridges, The Practice, Lizzie McGuire, Dragon Unchained, and many more. Rest well Robert Carradine.

That is very sad indeed. I am a huge fan of the Revenge of the Nerds movies. He was the main character right?

Oh man... that sucks. I'd just been watching a few clips on him in recent months after rewatching all the Nerds films. He seemed fine!

I actually liked him in Lizzie McGuire.
Idk he just nailed the goofy but likable dad role in that show.
