  John Carradine - Biography - Moviefone
Though best known to modern filmgoers as a horror star, cadaverous John Carradine was, in his prime, one of the most versatile character actors on the silver screen.
The son of a journalist father and physician mother, Carradine was given an expensive education in Philadelphia and New York.
His first major role was the sadistic prison guard in John Ford's Prisoner of Shark Island (1936), which launched a long and fruitful association with Ford, culminating in such memorable screen characterizations as the gentleman gambler in Stagecoach (1939) and Preacher Casy ("I lost the callin'!") in The Grapes of Wrath (1940).

 Gary Westfahl's Bio-Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Film: John Carradine
We are forced to conclude that Carradine participated in all of these execrable films because he wanted to; for him, perhaps, the inhabitants of the Z-movie underworld functioned as a kind of surrogate family, where he was always welcomed like an eccentric old grandfather.
In fact, Carradine is one of the rare performers who came to serve as a generic marker; if you saw Carradine in a movie, you knew that it was a horror, science fiction, or exploitation movie.
As Carradine aged, he settled into a succession of roles as mad scientists or traffickers in occult forces: his acting was usually routine, but when given slightly better material, like the sympathetic alien of The Cosmic Man, he might haltingly rise to the occasion.
