Macchio has always enjoyed his association with The Karate Kid and has even resurrected the role of Daniel in the sequel series, Cobra Kai.
Despite having a successful career outside of The Karate Kid franchise, actor Ralph Macchio is destined to forever be remembered as Daniel-san.
Macchio has recently addressed the modern take on The Karate Kid, which starred Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, with the famously pleasant actor slyly praising the movie for continuing the famous martial arts franchise.
Set 34 years after the first Karate Kid movie, the series re-examines the narrative from Daniel’s rival, Johnny Lawrence’s point of view.
