RIP - Mr Miyagi

Death has claimed yet another of my childhood's favorite actors.
Actor Pat Morita, whose portrayal of the wise and dry-witted Mr. Miyagi in ``The Karate Kid'' earned him an Oscar nomination, has died. He was 73.
The man gave who gave us "Wax on, wax off".... *sigh*
Mr Morita was always my favorite Asian actor.
So much for any hope for another Karate Kids sequel. Which, I might add is probably a VERY good thing. Espc w/ rambo and rocky returning to the big screen for yet another installment *shudders*
Wait Ralph Machio vs Sly Stallone in a celebrity deathmatch in the new Rocky (what is it 6?) could make it entertaining....
Anyway RIP Mr Morita, you will be missed
