Hollywood actor Robert Carradin has died at the age of 71.
On the 23rd (local time), foreign media reported that Robert Carradin had passed away.
According to his surviving family, the deceased struggled with bipolar disorder for the past 20 years. In this regard, the family said, "Even when the world was dark, Bobby (the deceased's nickname) was like a light to those around him. We hope people will remember the brave fight he waged for 20 years," and asked, "We hope this incident will become an opportunity to reduce prejudice against mental illness."
Keith Carradin, Robert Carradin's brother and also an actor, said in interviews with foreign media that Robert's bipolar disorder began after the death of his older half brother, who was also an actor, David Carradin. David Carradin died in 2009 in an asphyxiation accident at a hotel in Thailand.
Robert Carradin debuted as an actor in 1972 with the film "Cowboy." He appeared in works such as Homecoming and The Mean Streets, and was also seen in The Dormitory Fiasco, Django Unchained, Deep Water, and Lizzie McGuire.
