* OlderThanTheyLook: Macchio was 22 when ''Film/TheKarateKid1984'' was shot, but easily passes for a high school student. Reportedly, his cast mates thought he was joking when he told them how old he really was. He was 56 when he reprised the role in ''Series/CobraKai'', though he could easily pass for being in his early 40s. This was also particularly apparent in ''Film/TheKarateKidPartIII'' and seasons 4 and 5 of ''Cobra Kai'', as Macchio is four months older than Thomas Ian Griffith (Terry Silver), when [[UnderageCasting Silver is meant to be at least twenty years older than Daniel]] (having served in Vietnam with Kreese). There's also the time he played a recent high school graduate on his way to college in ''Film/MyCousinVinny'' at 31. It is also apparent in ''Film/TheOutsiders''. Macchio was 21 playing a 16 year old Johnny Cade, who is canonically stated to be mistaken for 14 all the time and definitely looks it.
