Martha Plimpton Father Keith Carradine to Guest-Starring as Singing Cowboy on ‘Raising Hope?’ [VIDEO]
There's about to be a new father-daughter act on television.
Keith Carradine will be guest-starring on his real-life daughter Martha Plimpton's hit FOX show Raising Hope.
Carradine will be featured as a singing, technophobic cowboy named Colt Palamino visiting a dude ranch run by Virginia (Plimpton) and Burt (Garret Dillahunt) in an upcoming episode of Plimpton's comedy, now in its fourth season, according to UPI.
"It'll be good to see him and I'm hoping there's no leftover hard feelings over his fake brutal murder by my fake husband," Plimpton said.
Carradine previously starred with Dillahunt on Deadwood, where he was murdered by Dillahunt's character. He most recently appeared opposite Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck in Ain't Them Bodies Saints.
Raising Hope is a comedy about Jimmy (Lucas Neff), who becomes a single parent to baby Hope (Baylie and Rylie Cregut) after the mother he had a one-night stand with winds up on death row. In over his head, he enlists the help of his mother Virginia and father Burt, as well as his grandmother Maw Maw (Cloris Leachman) to help raise her.
After the show's debut in 2010, it received two Emmy nominations. Plimpton was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, and Leachman received a nomination for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Plimpton lost to Melissa McCarthy from CBS' Mike and Molly, while Leachman lost to Gwyneth Paltrow for her appearance as Holly Holiday on Glee.
Raising Hope will return to FOX with back-to-back episodes on Friday, Nov. 15 at 9/8c.
