CHILD STARS OF THE ’80S: WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Ralph Macchio
Ralph Macchio is the original The Karate Kid finding his fame after being discovered at 16. After being cast as Daniel LaRusso in all three of The Karate Kid movies, Macchio boasts a successful Hollywood career. While few roles can compare to the acclaim of his original breakthrough performance, some of his better-known classics include Hitchcock, A Little Game, and Lost Cat Corona.
When Cobra Kai arrived as a continuation of the smash hit film series in 2018, Daniel LaRusso was back as well. With the show in its third season in 2020 and going strong, it seems martial arts has never lost its appeal.
