Interview: Thomas Ian Griffith on CobraKai Season 5's ‘Shakespearean’ Finale
More than 30 years after making his actorial debut in, Thomas Ian Griffith reprised his role as Terry Silver in the recently releasedSeason 5. While talking with ComingSoon, Griffith opened up about the “incredible journey” that brought him back as the Cobra Kai dojo leader before focusing on the season’s finale, which the actor described as “Shakespearean.”
“Following the shocking results of the All Valley Tournament, Season 5 finds Terry Silver expanding the Cobra Kai empire and trying to make his “No Mercy” style of karate the only game in town,” reads the synopsis. “With Kreese behind bars and Johnny Lawrence setting karate aside to focus on repairing the damage he’s caused, Daniel LaRusso must call on an old friend for help.”
Tudor Leonte: You’re reprising the role of Terry Silver after more than 30 years. What does it mean for you to be part of the original trilogy that really sparked it all?was my first film. John Avildsen took a chance on an unknown New York actor. I thought that was gonna be it. We created this archetypal over-the-top character, and it was funny in a way. It fit the time when of those movies for villains and never expected 30 years later to come back and be doing this, not in my wildest dreams.
Let’s play the devil’s advocate for a moment. Why do you think Daniel seems so obsessed with stopping Cobra Kai guys and Terry Silver in particular?: I think he carries a lot of baggage, and I had that influence on him young, and I think when you have those experiences, they’re hard to let go of. He is also honoring his tradition. It’s a great story because Miyagi-Do and everything means so much to him.
