Revisiting Keith Carradine

Published: March 8, 2024, 8 a.m.

In honor of the Academy Awards, we\u2019re revisiting our 2017 interview with Keith Carradine, who won his Oscar for writing and performing the song \u201cI\u2019m Easy\u201d in Robert Altman\u2019s masterpiece Nashville (1975). Since we spoke, the actor has remained a familiar face on television as he and his siblings carry on the acting tradition that began with his prolific papa John Carradine. Like his dad, he eased into the niche of a \u201cworking actor,\u201d starring on Broadway, logging 105 episodes of Madam Secretary\u2014as the President of the United States\u2014and even turning up in Jane Campion\u2019s Oscar-winning The Power of the Dog. He\u2019s a laid-back charmer who makes what he does look easy.
