Chad McQueen, an actor known for his performances in the 'Karate Kid' movies who was the son of the late actor and racer Steve McQueen, has died. He was 63.
Chad McQueen, an actor and racing aficionado known for his performances in the “Karate Kid” movies of the 1980s and as the son of the late actor and race car driver Steve McQueen, has died. He was 63. McQueen’s attorney and friend Arthur H. Barens confirmed that he died Wednesday. The cause of death was not disclosed.
He became well-known for his role as Dutch, one of the antagonists in 1984’s “The Karate Kid,” and its sequel two years later. While he starred in a number of films after the hit action franchise, including “New York Cop,” “Squanderers” and “Red Line,” he ultimately engaged more in racing than acting, and he eventually founded McQueen Racing, a company that creates custom cars, motorcycles and accessories. His son Chase, who also races, and daughter Madison now run the company.
