Keith Carradine gained fame for winning an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for the song "I'm Easy", which he wrote and sang for director Robert Altman's 1975 [[film]] ''Nashville''. Carradine also starred in this film, along with fellow ''[[Star Trek]]'' performers [[Robert Doqui]], [[Henry Gibson]], and [[Bert Remsen]]. However, Carradine actually made his acting debut several years earlier as a cowboy in Altman's ''McCabe & Mrs. Miller'', co-starring fellow ''Trek'' actors [[Rene Auberjonois]], [[Robert Fortier]], Bert Remsen, and [[John Schuck]] -- all of whom were members of Altman's informal acting troupe. Four years later, Altman would cast Carradine in the starring role of 1974's ''Thieves Like Us''. Other members of the Altman troupe returning for this film were Bert Remsen and John Schuck, while [[Louise Fletcher]] also starred. Carradine would go on to co-star with Fletcher again in 1996's ''2 Days in the Valley'', which also featured [[Teri Hatcher]] and [[Lawrence Tierney]].

Carradine also starred in this film, along with fellow Star Trek performers Robert Doqui, Henry Gibson, and Bert Remsen. However, Carradine actually made his acting debut several years earlier as a cowboy in Altman's McCabe & Mrs. Miller, co-starring fellow Trek actors Rene Auberjonois, Robert Fortier, Bert Remsen, and John Schuck -- all of whom were members of Altman's informal acting troupe. Four years later, Altman would cast Carradine in the starring role of 1974's Thieves Like Us. Other members of the Altman troupe returning for this film were Bert Remsen and John Schuck, while Louise Fletcher also starred. Carradine would go on to co-star with Fletcher again in 1996's 2 Days in the Valley, which also featured Teri Hatcher and Lawrence Tierney.
