Cobra Kai's Ralph Macchio and William Zabka Reflect on Nearly 40-Year Friendship (Exclusive)
Antony Starr, although he has been a part of the industry for a long time, gained worldwide recognition with his role in The Boys. The Amazon Prime show stars him as the megalomaniac Homelander, leader of The Seven. His talent has been praised by everyone who has seen the show and is easily one of the fan favorite characters. Even though he plays a villain, Starr has managed to win everyone's hearts with his portrayal.
Another actor who won over the hearts of fans with a single character, that people still relate to him, even though he had been away from it for decades, is Ralph Macchio. Macchio became popular with his role as Daniel LaRusso in The Karate Kid films. After the original trilogy was finished, it was another three decades before we saw him return to the dojo in Cobra Kai.
But did you know that there is a connection between The Karate Kid and The Boys? One that Homelander actor Antony Starr is well aware of. The actor who portrayed Macchio's on-screen lover in The Karate Kid is also someone tasked with dealing with superheroes in The Boys universe.
