Ralph Macchio is known as an American actor. He is most famous for his lead role in the Karate Kid film franchise.
Ralph George Macchio Jr. was born on November 4, 1961, in Huntington, NY. His parents are Rosalie and Ralph Macchio, Sr. His father ran a farm to support the family.
Ralph Macchio is best known for his roles in movies in the Karate Kid and it's two sequels. He was also featured in Crossroads and The Outsiders. In the TV industry, he had roles in Eight is Enough, Ugly Betty, and Psych.
Ralph was only 22 years old when he was cast in The Karate Kids as a high-schooler Daniel LaRusso, who learns karate from master Miyagi and faces tougher opponents as he develops his martial arts skill. The film made Ralph a huge name and had kids trying to mimic his catchphrases and karate moves.
In the film, The Outsiders, Ralph appeared as Johnny Cade, one of a group of intense, low-salary working-class adolescents. After committing murder, Ponyboy and Johnny escape on a freight train and safehouse in a surrendered church in Windrixville. To breathe easy, the young men play poker and Ponyboy peruses Gone with the Wind. The young men are applauded for their chivalry, yet Johnny is accused of homicide for murdering Bob, while Ponyboy might be sent to a young men's home.
In 2011, Ralph and his partner Karina Smirnoff were eliminated from ABC's "Dancing With the Stars" but he enjoyed everything about his dancing experience. The two lost the chance of having an additional 15 points added to their score after the adjudicators picked the NFL star Hines Ward and his pro partner Kym Johnson over them,
The Karate Kid franchise experienced a resurgence with the release of the online series, Cobra Kai. Made by Karate Kid superfans Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, and Hayden Schlossberg, it envisions what befell Daniel and his enemy Johnny, three decades after the tournament, with Daniel now an effective vehicle sales rep and Johnny a scarcely working drunkard, until he chooses to return a specific karate school. What could have been unadulterated narcissism turns out to be shockingly rich and finished, as Heald, Hurwitz and Schlossberg take apparently minor components from the first film like the social class contrasts among Daniel and Johnny, yet additionally the vehicles, the houses, and the incredible fan banter about whether Daniel cheated in the tournament and explode them into entire episodes that go to far more profound spots than the motion pictures addressed.
Ralph Macchio has an estimated net worth of over $4 million dollars.
Ralph Macchio married his wife, Phyllis Fierrowhen he was 26 years old. Their wedding ceremony took place on April 5, 1987. Fiero is an American medical attendant professional.
