In honor of the Academy Awards, we're revisiting our 2017 interview with Keith Carradine, who won his Oscar for writing and performing the song "I'm Easy" in Robert Altman's 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 "working actor," starring on Broadway, logging 105 episodes of Madam Secretary—as the President of the United States—and even turning up in Jane Campion's Oscar-winning The Power of the Dog. He's a laid-back charmer who makes what he does look easy.
