I haven't kept up with all of "Cobra Kai", just watching until the end of the Season 2 opener. But all through that time, I just kept thinking of Pat and Mr. Miyagi. He is forever missed.

Look how mesmerized Whoopi is once again throughout the interview of Ralph!! An Actor mesmerized by another actor, you can tell she feels everything he said relatable. Did y’all hear Whoopi with the, “Yes, yes.” & Then sometimes she even completed his sentences? WOW!! Aww. My Heart!! I Love Whoopi, & Ralph so much!! Actors admiring actors. No Jealousy, no competition, just wishing each other the best, just Unconditional Love!! Btw, Whoopi, & Ralph, you both had me mesmerized throughout this whole interview!! 🥹🥰💜💜

He was in his mid twenties in the original playing a teenager.

He's kind of the GOAT of that. The actor that plays Johnny hasn't done too badly either, but looks a bit closer to his actual age. Not to mention the actor that plays Kreese, I'm sure there's some makeup there and such, but he's done quite well too. The show got very fortunate that all these guys are in shape, most look fairly young and still wanted to do more of the movies/show.

Youcan't but admire how humble Ralph Macchio is considering he is a MEGASTAR but still he keeps his life so grounded. He is still the hood boy of New York to me, fame hasn't changed him a bit, it is easy to get lost persepective being a megastar at that age lots of tragedies because of that. I guess Mr Miyagi also taught Ralph on how to handle fame the correct way and survive it too.
