Ralph Macchio appeared in “The Karate Kid” 35 years ago and has been known for that role since then. According to CNN, Macchio said “it’s silly” to be negative about being associated with the role. The actor said he is constantly approached by fans and told about how the film changed his life. He said: “I try to embrace it all and consider it a blessing.” Now the actor is playing a television spinoff of the film called “Cobra Kai.”
