Netflix’s ‘Cobra Kai’ Bringing Back ‘Karate Kid’ Actor for Season 4 James Hibberd
Cobra Kai is bringing back another character from the
Karate Kid film franchise.
Silver (played by Thomas Ian Griffith) was introduced in
The Karate Kid Part III as a wealthy businessman who co-founded Cobra Kai and a former war buddy and best friend of John Kreese (Martin Kove). The character was teased in season three during a Vietnam War flashback sequence where Kreese saved Silver’s life when they were being held captive.
Here’s a teaser:
Cobra Kai recently wrapped shooting on Season 4 – the first produced exclusively for Netflix since the streamer bought the
Karate Kid sequel series, and, having hinted at the idea at the end of the third season, a new teaser confirms that Thomas Ian Griffith s driven martial artist Terry Silver will return to the story.
Silver, as fans know, was a comrade of John Kreese (Martin Kove) during the Vietnam War, and Kreese ended up saving his life. In paying back that debt, he helped Kreese set up the Cobra Kai dojo, and in a
Karate Kid III twist, ended up coaching Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) in his violent ruthless, ponytailed style. From the looks of the trailer, it s all back – even the hairstyle.
