It was 2004, and I was working as one of the producers on Bravo’s hit five-part series, The 100 Greatest TV Characters.
As the author of The Kung Fu Book of Caine and The Kung Fu Book of Wisdom, companion books to the 1972–75 ABC-TV series. This legendary “Eastern-Western” starred David Carradine as fugitive Asian-American-Shaolin monk Kwai Chang Caine, a.k.a. “Grasshopper,” who I suggested be included in the Bravo series.
