MINI BIO:
Cadaverous, thin-lipped and deep-voiced, John Carradine was just as likely to turn up as Arab, westerner or Englishman. He had some good featured roles in the 1930s and 1940s -- several of them for John Ford -- but later made a great number of cheap horror films. Probably no non-star has been so consistently busy from the beginnings of sound to the present day. Three of his five sons, David, Keith and Robert, have followed him profitably into the acting profession.
