Television and movie David Carradine, 72, was found dead June 4 in Bangkok (for more details, go to PopEater). The Emmy-nominated actor was best known for his work on the classic 1972-75 TV drama 'Kung Fu,' in which he played Caine, a Shaolin priest who wandered across country in the American Old West. More recently, he had done stints on 'Alias,' 'King of the Hill,' 'Lizzie Maguire' and 'Medium.'
He also made a cameo appearance in the Jonas Brothers' video for 'Burnin' Up,' and reportedly made a guest appearance in the June 12 episode of the new Fox summer series 'Mental.'
