15. “Martin Kove (who plays Kreese in The Karate Kid and Cobra Kai). A PA had to pick him up at 9 a.m. sharp, but he stared at the kid through a locked glass door for an hour, laughing and reading the newspaper. He was fully dressed, ready to go, and laughing as the PA’s supervisor screamed audibly at the kid through a walkie to get him to set. The PA was in tears when he finally came out, terrified he had already lost his job.”

“The same PA was assigned to take him home after the shoot. Kove said he wants to go to McDonald’s on the way back and apologized. The kid said production didn’t give him any money. Kove said, ‘I’m buying. Sorry about this morning. I don’t know what got into me. Go ahead. Order whatever you want.’

The PA was so pissed, he said he wanted nothing. Kove convinced him to get something. ‘Get a cookie. At least a cookie. My treat,’ said Kove. 

The PA said, ‘Alright, fine. I’ll take a cookie.’  Kove bought the cookie at the drive through and got nothing for himself. 

As they pulled away, Kove ate the cookie while staring at the PA in the rearview mirror the entire way back to the hotel.”
