As I'm fleeing from the character that is my sadistic billionaire Lizard Demon husband, I came across people I had not been allowed to see in years, and they had not wanted to see me because of the relationship I found myself in. To avoid being captured and dragged back to the Lizard Demon’s penthouse, I run to the deep south of the US to throw him and his henchman off my trail. One of the many characters I meet on the journey is The Daughter. We spend time and sing together."

Bliss feels like a line in the sand; it’s us recommitting to ourselves not just to being a band, but how we want to exist as one going forward." Regarding the new single, he adds that "Jet Stream Heart" was the first step in achieving this reinvention. It felt like we were giving ourselves permission to be more physical with everything—with heavier sounds and textures—and "Jet Stream Heart" was a forerunner in the whole process.

In Memoriam: The Iconic "Robert Carradine" Dies At 71

 

Robert Carradine, who played Lewis Skolnick, the king of the college nerds with a signature laugh, in the “Revenge of the Nerds” movie franchise, has died. He was 71.

In a Monday statement, Carradine's family said he struggled with bipolar disorder and died by suicide.

"It is with profound sadness that we must share that our beloved father, grandfather, uncle, and brother Robert Carradine has passed away. In a world that can feel so dark, Bobby was always a beacon [of] light to everyone around him," the statement said. "We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with Bipolar Disorder.

We hope his journey can shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness. At this time we ask for the privacy to grieve this unfathomable loss. With gratitude for your understanding and compassion."

The youngest of a prolific Hollywood family, Carradine's siblings include actors David and Keith and architect Christopher, of Walt Disney Imagineering. David Carradine died in 2009 at age 72. Their brother Bruce, who died in 2016, was also an actor.

Keith Carradine told that his family wanted everyone to know about Robert's struggle with bipolar disorder.

"We want people to know it, and there is no shame in it," he told the outlet. "It is an illness that got the best of him, and I want to celebrate him for his struggle with it, and celebrate his beautiful soul. He was profoundly gifted, and we will miss him every day. We will take solace in how funny he could be, how wise and utterly accepting and tolerant he was. That’s who my baby brother was."

The L.A.-born actor enjoyed a prolific 50-plus-year career in film and television. To prepare for his role on the 1984 comedy "Revenge of the Nerds," Robert Carradine spent two weeks wearing "nerd clothes," a wig and glasses everywhere he went.

This included heading to fraternity row at the University of Arizona during rush week while in character with a fellow actor. They asked the head of a fraternity if they could join.

"The guy took one look at us and said, "No way," ' Carradine recalled in 1990. By the time the first day of shooting rolled around, I was in full flight as a nerd. 

The youngest son of prolific character actor John Carradine, Robert Carradine was born on March 24, 1954, in Los Angeles. Known for both his film and television work, Carradine made his debut in a 1971 episode of the long-running western “Bonanza. His first film appearance was in the 1972 John Wayne western “The Cowboys.”

During his 50-year Hollywood career, he appeared alongside his brother David in a 1972 episode of "Kung Fu" and the 1973 Martin Scorsese film "Mean Streets." David, Keith and Robert joined other sets of acting siblings to portray sets of real-life siblings in the 1980 Western "The Long Riders." Carradine also landed roles in Hal Ashby's 1978 Vietman War drama "Coming Home" and Samuel Fuller's 1980 World War II epic "The Big Red One."

While Carradine found success in the family business, he also had a love for racing. "There are certain people who are supposed to be race car drivers," Carradine told The Times in 1991. "And I've got that. I've got that thing that makes me have to race. I have to do it."

At the time he was balancing both careers, racing at the Grand Prix level in a Lotus Esprit Turbo SE. But it was clear he would have chosen racing over acting if he could.

In the 2000s, Carradine charmed a new generation of fans as lovable TV dad Sam in "Lizzie McGuire."

"There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents," the show's star Hilary Duff wrote in her Instagram tribute to her on-screen dad. "I'll be forever grateful for that. I'm deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him, his family, and everyone who loved him."

Carradine is survived by his three children — actor Ever Carradine, Marika Reed Carradine and Ian Alexander Carradine — as well as his brothers, nieces including actor Martha Plimpton, nephews and grandchildren.
