Does anyone happen to know how much he was paid for all 3 movies? I spent some time trying to find out but got nowhere.

lmao guys. Some freinds and I were wondering if he was going to take Mr. Miyagi's spot in the remake. That got us wondering how much he was paid to do the original and its predecessors.

Karate Kid 3 must have tanked his career, the only film I can remember Ralph appearing in after that was My Cousin Vinny. Has he been seen since? I thought the original Karate Kid was a great little film, brings back alot of memories.

He played in several other films. The Outsiders was probably the next best film he was in. He appeared on Entourage earlier this year as someones cousin and actually poked fun at his real life self.

Right now he's has a small recurring role on Ugly Betty playing a politician.

I've never watched that show, I'll try to catch it the next time it's on as I'm curious to see what he looks like now. He was known for playing parts much younger than his actual age.

well Ralph is looking old these days.

Yeah, he sure is. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him on the show. For his age, 47 I believe, he still looks youthful though.

A real shame he never really had a bg career. He's a very good, likeable, charismatic actor, and really could and should have gone on to much bigger things.

Hey thanks for the pic venom. He's a little chubbier with a receding hairline but he still looks pretty young in the face to be 47. Guess he's took care of his self over the years. :)

I saw him a few times later on, like his role as a doctor in an episode of The Outer Limits in the late 90s. He was pretty good in that.

It's an unsolved mystery as to why his career went tits up with incredible immediacy.

He actually got second billing in My Cousin Vinny (a mainstream Hollywood comedy) back in 1992.

And after that.........???????????????????????
