Reposted on: 25.11.12 1034.52 | For some reason, I had no idea he received an Oscar nomination for his role in "The Karate Kid." I was also surprised to learn that he was only about 52 when he played Mr. Miyagi.

I recommend you all find a way to see "Only the Brave" which I think is his last film and another great dramatic performance from him. | Stilton

Reposted on: 25.11.12 1642.58 | I really didn't see this coming at all. Especially since he's been actively doing cameos during the last year, his most recent appearence being on "Robot Chicken." I'll never forget the Karate Kid and his brilliant cameos and the acting world has experienced another incredible loss.
