Ralph Macchio received a star next to a beloved co-star of “The Karate Kid” on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday.

The star was unveiled during a ceremony at 633 Hollywood Blvd. in front of the Escape Hotel. Macchio’s star stands next to that of the late Pat Morita, who played his character’s mentor, Mr. Miyagi, in “The Karate Kid” film franchise.

Macchio was joined by William Zabka, a castmate of Macchio in “The Karate Kid” and “Cobra Kai,” and Tamlyn Tomita, who portrayed the love interest of Macchio’s character Daniel LaRusso in “The Karate Kid Part II.” Tomita also appeared in three episodes of “Cobra Kai.”

The ceremony follows the release of the second set of five episodes of the sixth and final season of “Cobra Kai.”

Born November 4, 1961 in Huntington, New York. Macchio started his career in commercials in the late 1970s. He made his film debut in the 1980 comedy “Up the Academy.” He also made his television debut that year when he joined the cast of the ABC family drama “Eight is Enough,” as Abby Bradford’s (Betty) troubled cousin Jeremy Buckley).

After “Eight is Enough” ended in 1981, Macchio was cast in the Francis Ford Coppola-directed coming-of-age crime drama, “The Outsiders.” His other film credits include ‘My Cousin Vinny’, ‘Hitchcock’ and ‘Teachers’.

Macchio’s other television credits include “The Deuce,” “Psych,” “Ugly Betty,” “Happily Divorced,” “Entourage” and “Head Case.”

Macchio will reprise the role of LaRusso in the next film installment of the “Karate Kid” franchise, “Karate Kid: Legends,” set for release in May 2025.
