‘Cobra Kai’ Season Four features the long-awaited return of psychotic ‘Karate Kid Part III’ villain Terry Silver. The series co-creators and actor Thomas Ian Griffith discuss how it happened.
premieres on Dec. 31 with Terry Silver back in the mix as Daniel La Russo’s chief antagonist — more than 30 years after his last appearance in the franchise. “We’ve been talking about this since Season One,” says Josh Heald, who co-createdwith longtime collaborators Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg. “Terry Silver has always been looming.”The Karate Kid Part III“This was something none of us could have predicted when we made,” he says. “But here we are as grown men, back in this world.
“A lot of people were like, ‘Why does his world come to a stop so he can torture a few teenagers?'” Griffith recalls. “But that was fun for me. I was like, ‘Let’s commit to what I’m doing and make this work.'” Occasionally, Griffith says, he worried the character was too over-the-top. But Avildsen told him to play up the crazy: “John was like, ‘Just go with your instincts. Let’s have every kid in America kicking you in the shins when this movie comes out.
Needless to say, even an older, wiser Terry Silver cannot resist the lure of Cobra Kai. By the third episode, he’s tying his hair back into the iconic ponytail fromand plotting against La Russo and his karate students. “Because of the pandemic, I hadn’t gotten my hair cut for a year,” says Griffith. “They were like, ‘Don’t cut your hair. Leave your hair.’ Hayden was really obsessed with that whole thing: ‘Is his ponytail long enough?’ He wanted it to be perfect.
