Ralph Macchio Explains Why He Agreed To Reprise Iconic Role On YouTube Hit 'Cobra Kai'

Ralph Macchio says he's at peace with forever being known as the face of one of the movies that defined the 1980s: "The Karate Kid."

But that doesn't mean he'll agree to every new idea of how to continue the franchise.

Macchio felt the Daniel LaRusso character had run its course after starring in "Karate Kid" parts 2 and 3.

But he realized the hunger for the franchise would never go away, as he continued to get pitched offers over the decades.
