The actor who played him, Pat Morita has died. I always wondered what became of him... I loved the Karate Kid as well!

Awwww... that's sad. But, he did have a good innings though at 73.

Still sad. He's a legend. He will always be remembered as Mr Miyagi..

Wax on, Wax off Pat.


73 isn't a particularly good innings BTW!!

Average life expectancy is I think about 79 for a well nourished westernised bloke.

Yeah, I agree, some do fair better, but at the same time, the amount of famous people who die young is shocking. At least at 73, one would surmise he has had a good life.

89.5 years for me according to that site btw. :spin:
