%%* ClassicallyTrainedExtra

to:

%%* ClassicallyTrainedExtra* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: He was revered as one of the finest stage actors of his generation and took as many acting gigs as possible to keep his productions funded, meaning he was often in roles ''well'' below his talent range.

%%* EvilIsHammy* EvilIsHammy: He played a lot of villains and always brought his usual level of ham when doing so.

Often cited as a poster child for MoneyDearBoy, Carradine's willingness to take any role actually stems from an abortive passion project. In the '30s and '40s he managed a Shakespearean repertory company, John Carradine and His Shakespeare Players, which performed in San Francisco. Carradine's performances were highly acclaimed, but money was always tight, forcing Carradine to fund these productions out of pocket. When the Shakespeare Players collapsed (which also caused his first marriage to dissolve), Carradine found himself in dire financial straits, forcing him to continue appearing in roles beneath his talent.

Despite this, he didn't seem to mind and simply committed himself to [[TookTheBadFilmSeriously giving the best performance he could with the material]].

%%* LargeHam * LargeHam: He was not an actor known for his subtlety or doing things halfway. While the quality of the films was often debatable, no one ever doubted that Carradine was giving his roles everything he had.
