I used to be a Flight Attendant and one of those who used humor during the safety brief. A few years before Pat Morita passed, I had him on the plane. I did my usual spiel and as he disembarked he gave me a light fist pop to my chest. In his perfect Mr. Miyagi voice said “ good job Steve.” He was super nice and one of the many celebrity positive interactions

@Gorgeous George That's the brilliant part of it. The main characters aren't Johnny and Daniel. It's the kids. Right at that cusp of becoming adults. Their views change, shift, morph. They get caught up in groups. Hell, Hawk's the ultimate example, going from timid Lip that could barely speak up to fighting badass exuding all kinds of confidence, getting good attention from everyone, and relishing in it all. But there was that moment you saw Lip peeking out in Season 2. And now... well, won't spoil it for anyone that hasn't watched yet. But it shows these kids growing and course changing over the entire span of the show. And maybe, those watching, might see that cliques and groups come, go, change... but the only real enemy is hate for someone else. Also shows the world isn't black and white. There's always another side to the story. Even Tori. Hateful bitch she is... there's a very good reason she's got it out for Samantha. You just don't remember it very well because if you blinked, you'd have missed it.

I played pool with Pat Morita at the Shearton Inn in Baltimore at the inner harbor. He was attending a Food Expo but went up to the bar and played pool each night. I knew the manager and she told me that he would probably be up that night. When I saw him walking down the hallway, I got $20 worth of quarters and put them on the empty table. Midway through his first drink, I told him that the table was ready. We played for about 2 hours. I bought his gold drink and he bought my beer. I never mentioned happy days, karate kid or Hollywood and neither did he. At the end, he asked if I wanted a picture and I said no, I just appreciated the experience. The manager picked up both of our tabs which was great b/c I never found out what the gold drink was. Very nice man and very funny

Despite having passed away...no longer there...the presence of Pat Morita as Mr. M can still be felt in Season 1 & 2 of CK. When they do flashbacks of Miyagi and Daniel there is this tightening of the throat at the exhibit of good values..of the power of goodness and that true strength resides here. So moving. You also appreciate how talented M. Cove is in that a basically nice guy can play the contemptible Kreese with such finesse.
