Keith Carradine is an American actor and singer-songwriter, born in 1949, who won an Academy Award for the song I'm Easy from Nashville and later played Wild Bill Hickok in Deadwood.
In Star Trek: Enterprise he guest stars in the second-season episode First Flight, first shown in 2003. He plays A.G. Robinson, a pilot in the NX test programme a decade before the launch of Enterprise. Robinson is chosen over Archer to fly the first attempt at warp 2 and loses the craft, and the two rivals then take the second prototype without permission to prove that the engine designed by Archer's father works.
The story is told by Archer after he learns of Robinson's death in a climbing accident.
