It turns out that Paul Walter Hauser’s role as Horace in Cruella kept Stingray out of Cobra Kai Season 3.
Fans may remember that Stingray became a security guard at the high school in Season 2 and was involved in the brawl between Miyagi-Do and Cobra Kai in the finale.
It was announced in Season 3 that Stingray had been fired from his job following his role in the brawl, in which he beat up several children.
Stingray was legally obligated to stay 500 feet from any minor, and a restraining order kept him from the bulk of the school’s faculty.
