Martin Kove (Cobra Kai, The Karate Kid) joins us this week to share the vulnerability and soft side behind over 50 years of onscreen villainy. Martin talks a lot about the depth added to his character in the Cobra Kai series, while recounting crazy stories during the audition and filming of the iconic Karate Kid franchise. We also talk about going out on a ledge to win over an audition, laugh out loud stories with Sylvester Stallone, and the dangers of bringing home your work went portraying a bad guy.
