Castmates and family members are mourning Robert Carradine,<\/a><\/span> part of a famous Hollywood family and star of \u201cRevenge of the Nerds\u201d and \u201cLizzie McGuire.\u201d Carradine died at 71. <\/p>\n

Ever Carradine<\/h2>\n

\u201cGrowing up in the 70s and 80 with a single dad in Laurel Canyon is not exactly the recipe for a grounded childhood, but somehow mine was. Whenever anyone asks me how I turned out so normal, I always tell them it\u2019s because of my dad. I knew my dad loved me, I knew it deep in my bones, and I always knew he had my back. …. My dad was a lover, not a fighter. He was all heart, and in a world so full of conflict and division, I think we can all take a page out of his book today, open our hearts and feel and share the love.\u201d \u2014 the actor and daughter of Robert Carradine, on Instagram. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy Uncle Bobby was the best one of all 8 brothers; blood, adopted, and step. Out of all of them, he was the absolute best. He was the one who cuddled me when I came to visit my father in LA for the first time at 8 or 9 years old. He cuddled and kidded me for being the only Carradine from New York. … Also, he was the best actor of the bunch. By a THOUSAND MILES. Don\u2019t believe me? Just watch him. … He had inherent KINDNESS in him. He was dear, and loving, and nonjudgmental. And he loved honestly. He made mistakes like anyone else, like any human. But he never lost his decency, or his heart. \u2014 the actor, Carradine\u2019s niece, on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis one hurts. It\u2019s really hard to face this reality about an old friend. There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents. I\u2019ll be forever grateful for that. I\u2019m deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him, his family, and everyone who loved him.\u201d \u2014 the actor, Carradine\u2019s co-star in \u201cLizzie McGuire,\u201d on Instagram. <\/p>\n

\u201cMy heart hurts today. I was fortunate to know Bobby for most of my life. And he was one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. Funny, pragmatic, sometimes cranky, always a little eccentric. He was a talented actor, musician, and director. But more than anything, he was family. … I looked up to him growing up. And later in life, I came to realize he thought I was pretty neat, too. So I guess I was doing something right in his eyes.\u201d \u2014 the actor and \u201cLizzie McGuire\u201d castmate, on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe 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\u2019s who my baby brother was.\u201d \u2014 the actor and brother of Robert Carradine, in a statement to Deadline. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
