"It's like you get the Emperor from Star Wars back. Bringing Kreese back to life on the series-you may remember Johnny's Season 1 claim that his mentor was dead-allowed producers, who are longtime Karate Kid fans, the opportunity to explore the character in ways the movies never had the luxury. "Working here, and the things that of why and what has happened to in the last 30 years, it's incredible," he said. Now Playing: Cobra Kai - Official Season 2 Teaser Trailer I don’t think he could ever hurt Johnny, and unfortunately, Johnny has been hurt enough by the image he put Kreese in as his father-figure, and then of course, all the things that have gone down in the last four or five years.By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's It’s going to be open season on Silver, and John Kreese will get his revenge. I think the revenge game is first and foremost with Terry Silver, to get Cobra Kai back on track. Is Kreese going to be out for revenge or is there any chance these three might end up on the same page one day? TVLINE | Johnny and Daniel wind up getting some info out of Kreese - that Silver’s plan involves the Sekai Taikai tournament - but they ultimately dupe him. That’s why everybody wants to stay working on this show. The success of any TV series is the writing, and our guys stayed right with the quality of work from Season 1. It was all personal and I love the fact that the writers could write that way. And so I was able to cry and all that because I was pulling on stuff that was happening to me in real life at that given moment. Kreese came up in my relationship with my lady, and when I was making those scenes, I was pulling on the unhappiness I had with my relationship, and all of that - especially Betsy - was real to me. Some keep in their souls forever, some keep them in their souls for a few months and they can shake it. What happened with Betsy : John Kreese stays in your body no matter what anybody says. I’m popular for being cold and steely and tough, but that’s not what I’m about. It’s Emmy material.” I like the high-level emotion, contrary to what I’m popular for. Hayden Schlossberg said, “It’s the best acting I’ve ever seen you do. Not just affect the character, but the actor. When you create a backstory and you reread it and then the camera’s rolling, you know why and when and how these things affect you as a human being. I create a lot of backstory whenever I’m doing a show. How much of that loss still weighs on him? TVLINE | In Episode 6, we see Kreese imagining his lost love Betsy. People all over say, “You know, we used to think John Kreese was a villain, but now we really feel sorry for him.” That’s what I’m shooting for as an actor. And they’ve done that as the seasons have gone on, and especially this season. When I signed on, I wanted him to be more vulnerable and emotionally conscious, with lots of texture and colors. This show is written with a lot of perception and they conceive everything a year and a half before the season even begins. (These kids don’t get a lot of time to perfect their work and they all look terrific.)Īnd the way leaned her into being sympathetic and respectful of John Kreese is wonderful. Then as things evolved, she’s become this wonderful martial artist and terrific athlete, as you see in all of these episodes. And honestly, when Kreese first saw Tory, he didn’t think she was much of a martial artist. When he visits her and sees exactly what’s going on and how she’s protecting her mother and taking jobs, he identifies with that because his father was an alcoholic, and his mother was very similar to her mother, incapacitated from almost a voluntary standpoint. Tory had the same problem with her parents, and grew up the same way he did. Can you tell me a bit about what bonds these two together? TVLINE | Kreese is still in very close contact with Tory. Terry will get his for violating what we all care so much about: survival and Cobra Kai. He just wanted to share in the success of the All Valley Tournament. Johnny violated that element of Cobra Kai, so Kreese at the end of Season 3 had to take over. There are only two things that really loves: He loves Cobra Kai and he loves Johnny Lawrence. From Kreese’s point of view, Johnny violated the integrity of Cobra Kai. Johnny violated the code of Cobra Kai, that mercy is for the weak, and Miguel showed mercy. It’s almost the same principle when Miguel got hurt. He’s creating fast food and that is not what Cobra Kai was about 35 years ago when they were in Vietnam. The major violation is what Terry Silver is trying to do. He has to get his revenge because he’s been violated so deeply by Daniel and Johnny. MARTIN KOVE | He’s got information from his mole, who is a loyal soul, and he’s putting it all together. TVLINE | With Kreese stuck in jail, how is he going to figure into the conflict with Terry Silver?
