Ralph Macchio talks four decades of The Karate Kid legacy – from the original 1984 film to Cobra Kai and the brand-new Karate Kid: Legends movie (in theaters now!). Ralph shares behind-the-scenes stories about the very first pitch he heard for Cobra Kai, his initial reaction to the idea, and how the creators won him over with their love and respect for the franchise. He also reveals how Cobra Kai brought together multiple generations, became a pandemic-era hit, and turned Johnny Lawrence into one of the most compelling redemption arcs on TV. Plus, Ralph opens up about his time filming The Outsiders with Francis Ford Coppola, his emotional connection to Johnny Cade, and what it meant to perform some of the film’s most iconic scenes. Hear about his memorable role in My Cousin Vinny, his time on Dancing With The Stars, and what it's like carrying the Daniel LaRusso character into the next cinematic era.
