Ralph Macchio

While The Outsiders helped gain Ralph Macchio success status, he became a household name for his role as Daniel in The Karate Kid. The first 3 installments garnered $256 million worldwide in the 1980s.

He later appeared in smaller films as a supporting actor and played a recurring role on the mid-2000s show Ugly Betty. More recently, Netflix has produced a series based on The Karate Kid with the very popular show Cobra Kai where Macchio has reprised his role as Daniel LaRusso.
