The Pitt star Noah Wyle is looking back on a great loss to the Hollywood community after the unexpected death of Robert Carradine this week.

The ER alum shared a photo of the two posing together on the picket line during the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. They each wore strike-related t-shirts, and Carradine had both a matching button and sticker while he carried a sign on a post.

"Robert Carradine- a beautiful man and a true artist," Wyle wrote alongside the photo. "Gonna miss him a lot. 'Good night sweet prince and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest,'" he concluded, sharing a quote from Hamlet.

Carradine's daughter Ever reacted to the touching message, commenting, "He absolutely adored you, Noah ❤️."

The beloved Disney alum, who played Hilary Duff's dad on the hit early aughts series Lizzie McGuire, took his own life, with his family announcing his death at the age of 71 on Monday, Feb. 23.

“It is with profound sadness that we must share that our beloved father, grandfather, uncle, and brother Robert Carradine has passed away," they said in a statement. "In a world that can feel so dark, Bobby was always a beacon on light to everyone around him. We are bereft at the loss of this beautiful soul and want to acknowledge Bobby’s valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with Bipolar Disorder."

The family hopes that Carradine's struggle with the psychiatric disorder can "shine a light and encourage addressing the stigma that attaches to mental illness.”

His final project before his untimely death was meant to be a film called The Driver, where he was cast as a mob boss before disappearing ahead of the scheduled table read. Director Connie Lamothe told TMZ that he went "radio silent" back in January. As another cast member was aware of his mental health history, they "decided to give him some space…and hoped he would return.”

Unfortunately, that never happened. Lamothe remembers him as a “delightful” and “cheerful” addition to the project.

Jamie Lee Curtis has also paid tribute to the man she calls her "first love," having shared an under-the-radar relationship with him back in the '70s.

Carradine is survived by his three kids, Ever, Ian, and Marcia, and his grandchildren.
