Chad McQueen makes an intimidating face in The Karate Kid
Chad McQueen has passed away at the age of 63. The son of legendary actor Steve McQueen, he was most famous for his acting roles from the 1980s to the 1990s. Most notably, he starred in the first two installments of the Karate Kid franchise, playing the role of Dutch, a Cobra Kai student who was good friends with William Zabka’s Johnny Lawrence. He also starred in a number of other noteworthy movies before retiring to focus on other endeavors.
Following the announcement of the former actor’s death, there has been an outpouring of love from people across the globe, with a notable tribute coming from Jon Hurwitz, the co-creator of Cobra Kai. He revealed that they always wanted Chad McQueen to return to the Karate Kid franchise, and that they almost managed to bring him back. Check out his full comment below: Dutch may have been the purest Cobra of them all. Merciless and dangerous through and through. That’s what we loved about him.
Before Season 6, word got to us that Chad had decided he was ready to join the party. Josh, Hayden, and I drove out to his ranch to meet him in person for the very first time. He and his family greeted us warmly. He was as unique and hilarious as we’d heard from Billy all these years. Unfortunately, Chad was unable to join us when it came time to shoot. At the end of the day, it wasn’t meant to be. But Dutch will always be remembered as a badass’ badass in the Miyagiverse. He kicked ass. He hated “Danielle.” And he loved riding bikes with his boys.
After McQueen’s fruitful spell as an actor, he went on to become a professional racer, his true passion all along.
