00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. Ralph Macchio has been

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: blessed by a long running career in Hollywood that really

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: got going with his breakout role in The Karate Kid Back,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,039
Speaker 1: and it's come full circle with its hit spin off,

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: Serious Cobra Kai forty years later. But that's not to

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: say his career didn't have its highs and lows, and

7
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: it was at some point of those lows where he

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: couldn't find an acting job, that he really became the

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: man he is today. He tells the Hollywood Reporter. I

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: had those dry years and chunks of time after my

11
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: hit movie My Cousin Binny, where my name had come

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,879
Speaker 1: off studio list for anything, but I was able to

13
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: somehow keep one foot in and one foot out. It's

14
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: all about that balance, about how to string together some

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: work and survived during those lean years. Some of it

16
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: was just my sensibilities and not spending too much of

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: the money I was able to take in. I still

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 1: live fairly modestly. That's just who I am and how

19
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: I roll. Cobra Kai on Netflix Now that's direct from

20
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,520
