Pat Morita - Archive Interview Part 2 of 7

[satyricon451]

i am amazed how much he can remember, and the level of accuracy, or detail.

[djmyers71]

Thank you deeply for the post

[nandofrade77]

Can't help but feel deeply sad he's dead (not inside me, he's not)... I grew up with Mr. Miyagi and he'll always be in my heart. Such a wise man and always putting things to rights in the best possible way ever. LONG LIVE MR. MIYAGI. We'll never forget you.

That door-bell bit was funny, complete with Pat's "hello!" thrown in XD

In all seriousness, thanks for putting this up. It's fascinating to hear this, especially considering he might have been a doctor or computer tech.

[GiovanniDiNorcia]

ma quanto dura questa intervista?? o_o

[wdchefdave56]

He was as good as Carlin.

I miss them both.

[Alexkirby1989]

@wdchefdave56 He Kinda Sounded a little bit like George Carlin

[acheungwhitecrane]

hahahha.

His Japanese parents opened a Chinese Restaraunt.

Now Chinese will open a Japanese Restaraunt to make more money. Times change I guess.

[KenDoeFresh]

haha ya

[jaggass]

meant to say put on a foreign english accent

[hawksfan3]

He's one of my heros.

[Angel214725]

omg, he really looks white!!



i thought he was full blood asian like mr miyagi

[Foggen]

His parents were Japanese immigrants, he just grew up in America.

[Yeibear]

Im not sure you listened to the interview, He said that he was born in Ailton, California, and last time I checked, that was in USA. So he didnt just grow up in America, he was born in America...

[Lionwolf0777]

@Yeibear Ya he was Nisei or second generation American of Japanese decent.

R.I.P. Mr. Morita

[JanesCalamity]

I'm so glad this interview was done. It's so interesting to listen about his life. What a neat guy.

[richyloike]

lol door bell!

[Gabriella365]

He'll always be my Mr. Miyagi for Karate Kid part 1-3.

[Andycards]

RIP Peace Mr.noriyuke You you where a Great man. Never for get you.

[perdue93]

he has to be one of the best actors of all time

[cincinnatisparkle]

he's so polite! i love it. he didn't really have an accent...which not a lot of people know. but he's going to always be Mr.Miyagi to me!!

[wildsmiley]

He doesn't have an accent because he was born in California. I guess everyone expected him to sound just like Mr. Miyagi, who was born in Okinawa, but nope.

[slomoschon2000]

You get the "accent" from the sound of people around you. Politeness is the first social rule with Asians. It's part of benevolence, the first confucean value followed by courtoisy.

[chuckmanofgod]

Yeah, in the movie "The Next Karate Kid", Julie-san told Mr. Myagi that he can't even speak English, I actually grew up thinking he had an accent until I saw this video of his interview.

[hannaremnant]

he is so wonderful to hear. I think more people need to know that his interview exists on Youtube.

[nathantim]

jeez this whole thing is long as hell.

im gonna be here all night
