Biografia eta lana 
John Carradine New Yorken jaio zen, familia dirudun batean, ama kirurgialari prestigiotsuaeta eta aita abokatu bikaina izan zituelarik.

Bere hasierako ideia, Arte Grafikoko New York-eko Eskolara joan ondoren, pinturaren eta eskulturaren munduan aritzea izan zen. Shakespiriar aktore lanek sartu zuten interpretazio munduan eta, 1930ean, bere debuta burutu zuen, Peter Richmond izena hartu zuelarik. 1933ra arte, ez zuen John Carradine izena hartuko. Urtebete geroago, John Ford-ekin elkartu zen lehen aldiz eta honek egin zuen ezagun hainbat film medio (The Prisoner of Shark Island (1936) edo Katharine Hepburnek antzestutako Maria Estuardo).

Carradine John Ford-en hamar bat titulutan agertu zen, Suminaren Mahatsak (1940), Diligentzia (1939) edo Liberty Valance Tirokatu Zuen Gizona (1962) besteaz beste. Horrez gain, Hamar Aginduak filman (1956) Aaron-en papera antzeztu zuen. Aktore txukuna bazen ere, ez zuen testuinguru dramatikoetan lan egiteko aukera handirik izan. 40ko hamarkadan, antzerki konpainia batekin bidaiatu zuen, William Shakespearen Hamlet eta Macbeth bezalako obrak irudikatuz.

Broadway-en egindako lanen artean, Ferdinand dago John Websterren The Duchess of Malfi lanean, edo Ragpicker izan zen Jean Giraudouxen La Folle de Chaillot-en, Lycus ere izan zen A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum-en eta DeLacey Frankenstein-en 1981eko bertsioan.

1935ean, John Carradine Ardanelle McCool-ekin ezkondu zen eta bi seme izan zituzten: Bruce eta David; 1941ean dibortziatu ziren.

Berriro ezkondu zen John eta, oraingoan, Sonia Sorel izan zuen emazte. Bikote honek ere bi seme-alaba izan zituen: Keith eta Robert; bikotea 1956an banandu zen.

Doris Rich (1957-1971) eta Emily Cisneros (1975-1988) ere izan zituen andregai.

Carradine 225 pelikula baino gehiagotan azaldu zen, horietako batzuetan pertsonaia eszentriko, zoro edo maltzurraren paperean; beldurrezko generoan, 40ko hamarkadan ikur nagusienetako bat bilakatu zen. 1985ean, Daytime Emmy Saria irabazi zuen Umbrella Joe-n laneko zahar eszentrikoaren papera interpretatu zuelako.

John Carradinek badu izarra Hollywood-eko Ospearen Paseoan, Hollywood Blvd-eko 6240 zenbakian hain zuzen ere eta hori zinemari eta entretenimenduari egin zion ekarpenarengatik izan zen.

2003an, Oklahoma City-ko National Cowboy & Western Heritage museoan dagoen Western Performers Hall of Fame-n sartu zen.

1988ko azaroaren 27an hil zen Milanen (Italia). 82 urte zituen. Milango Duomoaren 328 eskailerak igo berri zituen eta gutxi zen Hegoafrikan filma bat bukatu zuenetik. Hauek izan omen ziren azken hitzak:
