Description
Martin Kove talks about his return to the Cobra Kai series playing “Sensei John Kreese,” and shares stories from his first day back on the set. He explains why he was so excited to return to the character, the great growth and development audiences have been able to see in “Sensei Kreese,” and what it’s finally like to see his character celebrated! Martin also shares the hilarious story about the Karate Kid premiere, and his then-wife’s review of his performance. Plus, the Koves dive into Martin’s childhood in New York, his schoolyard posse The Black Denim Gang, his unlikely journey to acting, his love of Westerns, the films and performers that inspired him, and his first speaking role in a movie. And they discuss fear as motivation, the importance of taking risks, and how to step up into your courage.
