Karate Kid -- Swank Kinda Sucked!

8. He was 25 when he did 'Kid', and was typecast as a 'kid'. In 'My cousin Vinny' he was just of the 'youts' on trial, not the star. And Marissa Tomai got the Oscar. After that, he was in 'has-been city'.

Shows again that if actor is mid 20's and plays a 'kid' or 'teen idol', career will be very short!

10. It's bad enough your nasty comments but to lie as well is terrible. Thank God you where stupid enough to show the video because he was absolutely nice to everyone. He was patient with the tourist, polite to your camera crew and said nice things about Swank. Your comments could hurt someone's career. Don't you have a lawyer who works with you?

11. Ummm, fourth. Trying to make drama out of nothing is the exact reason why the media typically sucks.

14. ralph macchio works as an editor for Marvel Comics, he edited the successful Marvel Zombies series which i believe recieved a couple of awards, Spike Scream Award...
so how many people can have a job at something they actually have a passion for and still get recognition for it?
