We chat with seankanan about Karate's Bad Boy Mike Barnes evolving from his KarateKid roots to his grand CobraKai return, and how the actor has evolved along with him:
Warning: SPOILERS for Cobra Kai Season 5Sean Kanan finally joined the cast of Cobra Kai season 5, and his comeback was worth the wait. As Mike Barnes, Kanan portrayed Daniel LaRusso's adversary in The Karate Kid Part III, and "Karate's Bad Boy" was a legacy character Cobra Kai fans demanded to appear in Netflix's series.
When did you find out that Cobra Kai existed and that Ralph Macchio and William Zabka were continuing The Karate Kid in a TV series? I couldn't believe that they were willing to listen to my ideas and everything, because it's not the norm that the creators of a successful show will sit down with an actor and get their input. We talked for a while, and I said, "Look, I'm so excited to come back, I certainly put myself in your extremely capable hands.
What's interesting is the head of my martial arts organization, which is called Genbu-Kai, is headed up by sensei Fumio Demura, who was Pat Morita's stunt double. And he actually was very instrumental in my getting the role. And what I studied, Genbu-Kai karate, is really about as close to what Miyagi-Do is as you can get, which is kind of ironic that playing the villain from Cobra Kai, I really trained in something that's very much akin to what Mr. Miyagi taught Daniel.
As a diehard Karate Kid fan, I lost my mind when you, Chozen, and Johnny teamed up to fight Terry Silver. That's a dream. How was that whole thing to shoot, and working with those guys? Sean Kanan: Thomas is a really accomplished martial artist. He really is. He's been doing this a long time, and he's taught. So I think, definitely, the nod goes to Thomas on that one.
And then I think, when that's all taken away from him by Terry, the switch gets flipped. And we see that Mike was able to be this guy over here, which was a husband and a business owner, and kind of upstanding citizen. But once all of those elements of his new life were taken out of place, he defaults to what he knows, which is the guy's a beast, and he's ready to rip the head off the snake.
