sounds like he was a jerk in real life as well ,
but here , I'm just talking about him as an actor , we're watching North and South , where he plays a complete dirt bag , but pretty much every roll I've ever seen him in , he plays a complete dirt bag , but he does play a good dirt bag , he was even nominated Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for North and South
but this goes all the way to when I was a kid , David Carradine has been giving me the creeps since the early 1970's..................lol
