Although the Karate Kid saga set his place in history, I wonder how his career would have panned out had he gone into more serious roles after "The Outsiders." The character of Daniel Laruso was a far cry from that of Johnny Cade. What say you?

Not talented enough to make it to the next level as an actor

I think the KK kind of set him up to where nobody really wanted to mess with him. Coppola got a lot out of him in the outsiders.

He peaked with My Cousin Vinny

Aside from the Karate Kid, the fact that he always looked and sounded like a kid probably made it difficult to find grown up roles.

Not that bad of an actor I'd say but the last two Karate Kid movies and some other duds really didn't set his leading man star on fire. He's stayed busy but in Hollywood that window of opportunity is mighty small sometimes.

Slightly off track, but I wonder how "Teachers" holds up. Seemed like it was popular in the vhs era.

He still looks 25

He's not a great actor but he played likeable characters pretty well. I liked the movie Crossroads where he played a young Blues guitarist who has to compete against the devil, sort of like the song The Devil Went Down to Georgia.

One of the raunchiest movies of all time. My sense of humor has since matured, luckily.

3. My cousin Vinny
