I really enjoyed chatting on Legends with Bevo to Kevin Derek, Director of More Than Miyagi: The Pat Morita Story.  

The documentary talks about the tough life that Pat led and Kevin went into more detail about this during our chat and how Pat's difficult childhood ultimately lead to alcoholism.  

We also discussed what made Pat's character Mr Miyagi so iconic in The Karate Kid and his roles on Mash and Happy Days.   Kevin and I also spoke about the success of the Netflix series Cobra Kai Kevin's journey so far, how the film industry has been affected by Covid -19 and the idea behind the documentary.  

Thanks so much to Kevin for his time and sending some awesome photos of Pat for the video, to AJ Feuerman Communications for teeing up the chat and Rory Noke from PodBooth for a wonderful job of putting this great video together.    

Finally thanks also to our sponsors Renelec Electrical Services and Anytime Fitness.
