Is Kreese the same actor in Cobra Kai?

Martin Kove (/ˈkoʊv/; born March 6, 1947) is an American actor and martial artist. He is best known for his role as John Kreese, the main antagonist of The Karate Kid (1984), a role he reprised in The Karate Kid Part II (1986), The Karate Kid Part III (1989), and the television series Cobra Kai (2018–present).

How did Cobra Kai recreate young Johnny?

Hurwitz and Heald confirmed the cameo was a deep fake, as they hired a body double of young Zabkas who had a similar bone structure. Cobra Kai hired 28-year-old Gaslit actor Logan Coffey as a stand-in actor for young Johnny, and VFX supervisors added in CGI.

Was Kreese really military?

After his military career, Kreese returned to the Valley and formed the Cobra Kai dojo in 1975 with Silver to train local kids in Tang Soo Do under the more marketable label of “Karate”.
