More Information about the actors:
About Robert Carradine
Robert Carradine is one of Hollywood’s busiest
actors. He just wrapped up Quentin Tarantino’s Django
Unchained and was last seen with Tom Selleck in Jesse
Stone for CBS. In addition to shooting the Hallmark
Channel’s Jane Doe, making the feature film, Deep
Winter in Utah and appearing in the national tour of the
award-winning play The Exonerated, he has lately kept
busy with some notable performances in several independent
films, including a standout turn opposite Ryan O’Neal in
Slumber Party Slaughter. Carradine is still seen daily
on the Disney Channel as bemused dad to Hilary Duff in the
highly successful Lizzie McGuire TV series and movie.
Over his 38-year career as an actor, writer, producer and
director, he has more than 100 film, television and theatre
credits to his name. In 1984, Robert Carradine became a
household name and icon to millions of teenagers and
20-somethings when he perfected the role of Lewis Skolnick
in the four-film Revenge of the Nerds comedy
franchise, including the original blockbuster and Revenge
of the Nerds IV: Nerds in Love, which earned him a
co-producing credit.
Carradine's film debut came in 1972, when he starred
alongside John Wayne in The Cowboys. Later he
appeared in notable features such as Martin Scorsese’s
Mean Streets, Hal Ashby's OscarÒ-winning
Coming Home, Samuel Fuller’s The Big Red One,

Hartman in Nash Bridges and has a long list of
guest-star credits on such TV hits as Law & Order,
The Practice, ER, Kung Fu, NYPD Blue, Alfred

Twilight Zone.
Carradine was literally born into acting as the youngest son

dynasty was born with brothers Keith and David, niece Martha
Plimpton and daughter Ever Carradine. In his spare time,
Carradine races cars and plays the guitar professionally.
