What you might not know about the man behind Mr. Miyagi, is that there were many facets to Noriyuki "Pat" Morita. He was more than a sensei that broke boards on the big screen, he broke stereotypes and racial barriers with his comedy and acting, and in darker times in his life, with a drink in his hand, he broke himself sometimes too.
An icon to kids who grew up in the 1980s especially, Pat Morita's most famous role came in 1984 with the release of The Karate Kid. His role as Mr. Miyagi is still considered one of the most beloved father figures in film to this day.
