![]() But it should be another Broadway play that really started his career: In Peter Shaffer’s “ The Royal Hunt of the Sun” he impersonated the Inca ruler Atahualpa who tries to defend himself against the Spanish conquistador Pizarro – played in the play by Christopher Plummer. He went to Broadway and appeared in Rolf Hochmuth‘s play “ The Deputy“, but appeared again for Universal in front of the TV cameras. Further TV roles followed, which finally led to a contract with Universal and his film debut in the Western “ Taggart” in 1964. He began to put his attention more seriously towards acting and made his TV debut in 1963 in “ Armstrong Circle Theatre“. Two years later, after the birth of his daughter Calista, he was discharged honorably. Although he steadfastly tried to avoid conscription, he was drafted into the US Army in 1960. First he attended a high school in Oakland, then went to junior college and finally studied acting and music theory at San Francisco State College, where he became a member of a Shakespearean troupe which increased his interest in acting. David’s acting career lasted nearly sixty years. He came from a family of actors whose careers extended over many decades. John Arthur Carradine was born on 8 December 1936 in Los Angeles.

Demme regulars Roger Corman, Charles Napier, Paul Lazar, and Tracey Walter show up in bit parts as usual. Layered sound, overlapping dialogue, and creepy cinematography by Tak Fujimoto (who also worked on LAMBS) further heighten the uneasiness. Demme infuses the proceedings with enough paranoia and uncomfortable close-ups to rival his 1991 Oscar-winner, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. Sinister forces at work include shifty-eyed bodyguards, a love interest with questionable motives (Kimberly Elise), and Raymond's domineering senator mother (Meryl Streep). Shaw's old unit commander Ben Marco (Denzel Washington) recommended him for the National Medal of Honor, though he can't remember exactly why, and his recurring nightmares drive him to uncover a massive conspiracy. Jonathan Demme updates the original 1962 John Frankenheimer classic with plenty of new paranoid twists: This time a sinister Halliburton-style corporation is behind the brainwashing of a Gulf War hero turned vice presidential nominee, Raymond Shaw (Liev Schreiber).
