Wax off...


LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Actor Pat Morita, whose portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr. Miyagi in "The Karate Kid" earned him an Oscar nomination, has died. He was 73.

Morita died Thursday at his home in Las Vegas of natural causes, said his wife of 12 years, Evelyn. She said in a statement that her husband, who first rose to fame with a role on "Happy Days," had "dedicated his entire life to acting and comedy."

RIP Miyagi

my image of him was totally destroyed a few years back
i always thought he was, in real life, a wise old japanese guy, and then one day i was flicking through the channels and he was speaking yank like a californian, i was shattered!

Karate Kid was one of my favourite movies and this man is a legend.

Question though...

Did he do anything else?

I was watching SkyOne yesterday when who pops up in an ad with a guy washing his car? Ed Byrne. What does he say? "Forget Mr. Miyagi *wax on wax off*"...Maybe SkyOne didn't get the memo...

madrab

poor mr miyagi, he was cool

although im glad i didnt see this movie, http://imdb.com/title/tt0087795/ , it probably would have completely ruined my image of the kar-ate master (although learning that he didnt know karate did shake the foundatdions a bit)

That's a pity, he was cool.
