This week, Tommy is joined by the brilliantly talented actress Mary Mouser who is best known for her starring role in the smash-hit series Cobra Kai. Part 1 of the sixth and final season is out now! Cobra Kai is a martial arts comedy/drama sequel to the original Karate Kid film trilogy that delivers plenty of action. Mary plays Samantha LaRusso, daughter to karate champion Daniel LaRusso, reprised by the iconic Ralph Macchio. The series has surpassed over 1.7 billion minutes of streaming from their first 50 episodes, and it is constantly #1 on the Netflix charts. Today Mary opens up about what its been like processing the end of a series that means so much to her, why Cobra Kai has been her dream job, what the journey from day one of filming to her final day of filming has been like, what she hopes her character’s legacy will be, the ways she has grown through playing Samantha LaRusso, what’s to come for her character later in Season 6, if she is satisfied with how the entire series wraps up, what a spin-off in the Miyagi universe might look like, why being around the OG cast never lost its magic, her favorite scenes with Miguel throughout the series, and a surprising new passion of hers.
